I've been out a few more times since the last. Only saw birds one of those times..they were about 50 yards out making for the timber. We were sat against some trees on the edge of the timber where we saw them enter the day before. Of course when you sit where you think they're gonna go, they go 50 yds down to enter there instead. I tried to go out today alone (the first time I've ever hunted anything by myself) but it was incredibly windy and rainy so I skipped it. Gonna go tomorrow rain or shine because it might be my last day. Have to have a surgery done on my ears Wednesday and probably won't be feeling too good for a couple days after that. Season ends on the 16th here in Iowa. Hopefully I can either luck out tomorrow or feel good enough to go out Saturday and Sunday for one last chance. The place I'm going to go tomorrow might work out because, even though we've only seen one tom there, he's been there every night and I don't think he's been hunted much because it's private land on the edge of a state park. We walked out Sunday to the spot (its a 3/4 mile walk through an unplowed field so not easy walking with all the gear) and came up over a hill and the tom was out. Of course we were only about 40 yards away from him so he saw us and took off back into the state park. We set up anyway hoping that maybe he or some other turkey would come back out later, but there were hikers in the park making a hell of a racket so we gave up after about an hour. Oh well...maybe tomorrow!
