First of all congrats to all of you with the young ones graduating from kindergarten!

Thanks bornagain, I was getting a little concerned with the way my luck has been going. I had originally thought it was going to be easy getting that first bird down. But, hunting is hunting and you just never know what is going to take place.

I went this morning but had some bad luck. Yesterday when I went hunting I received a flat tire on the jeep. They are only 2 months old and I tried to get that replaced during the early evening but they stated they were to busy to then. So this morning I received another flat tire and no spare as it was already on the jeep. I ended up rimming it for around 3 miles in order to be where my son could find me.. ( He is not good with directions.) So once he got there we jacked the jeep up and took that tire off as well. ( The store was not open yet. ) So, we went for a ride around the area seeing if we could see any more birds.

We did see another tom with 4 hens. I checked the area out and found quite a few dusting spots right close to where they were. Looks like a decent place to set up a couple of decoys to me.

We left and got both tires replaced and I paid another $10 for each tire in order to keep the road hazard on them. The jeep is home now and I have a spare tire again. So while I never scored today it was still productive. My next day out will be on Tuesday straight threw Saturday each morning..

Sorry for the long read guys but, sometimes bad luck can still be good.
