Its been a week since i last heard anything from my grandparents, but they told me that it was really dry around the Springfield area in Missouri. Have you guys gotten any rain at all.....said the ticks where bad, and i was just wondering if it was still like that.

How is the turkey hunintg going too?

Well this first weekend of turkey hunting has rain all weekend. A lot of people haven't been able to go out and in the paper this morning it said the turkey harvest is down about 5,000 and about 30% from last years harvest in Missouri.

I was out mid week and took a decent jake, another guy I hunt with got a 20lb tom the day after I did, on wed. And thurs. I helped bring in another tom for a close friend, it ended up being 25 3/4 lbs. There are alot of birds this year! very mild winter to say the least! And yes the ticks are bad! Get you some Sawyer and treat your cloths, that stuff works wonders! Been raining here in Kansas City since Thurs night. more tomorrow. Hopefully tues. will have sun again. Good luck to all.
