I sent messages to the five no shows. I hope they check in soon. It would be pretty sad to have to get five alternates for the defending champions, but if we have to we will. On a brighter note, I went out to my property this afternoon. Saw three longbeards and about 15 hens. The longbeards could care less about hens right now. They just now started gobbling. Shouldn't be long before the boys show interest in the hens though. It's kind of funny, we are having a very early Spring this year, but the gobblers started gobbling later than usual. Two weeks and it all starts. Man I'm going crazy.
