tired...yes. bored...no! All the walking, carrying stuff, and the Texas sun beating down on you does begin to drain you of all your energy, but I would have to say that even with all of this, I never get bored. I am always looking for that gobbler, and as soon as I seem him, everything I had to do was well worth it. For that small time that gobbler is in the same area I am, I forget about everything else. Turkey hunting is just too much fun!!
