No Wash, I've never met Yendor. I didn't find any sheds, which was very surprising. I walked every draw and hillside above and below the powerlines, and I didn't find much in the way of turkey sign either. I did see a little muley with forked horns in velvet though.

Evidently the terrain didn't keep that many hunters out because we found where 3 birds had been cleaned in our camp. It just goes to show that you can take pressured birds if you have patience and are persistent. Experience also helps, and our camp had a bunch of it. I think we had about 50 years between the 4 of us. It was nice to know that I could still call 'em in though. It has been a while since I've had one within easy kill range. But as always, something goes wrong. He just had to start strutting behind the only sapling between me and him. I'm glad my friend got him though. He had the least experience of all of us, and sometimes is less than confident in his turkey skills.

I'll take a few months to replay the memories, then it's time to plan next year's hunt and make some new ones.

Hunt hard, live right, and tell your kids you love 'em!
