Its a 4 week long season. So far I have not seen a long beard. All jakes.
It was a slow miserable day of hunting here! I spent 7 1/2 hours in the blind watching it pour rain by the buckets! Didn't hear a single gobble. I did see a small group of hens out in the field approx 200 yards out and about a 1/2 hour later I could see a tom cross a small pasture and join the hens in the field.... never showed any interest in heading in my direction. This storm system is gonna be here til' Sunday so looks like I have to deal with it and hope for some luck?
Good luck to you this weekend
