Maytom,
Hey I got last season may 21st-may 25th. Boy we sure used to hate that last season, temps sometimes in the 90's. But the last few years last season has been great. Hens sitting on nests and late springs with lower temps have made the last season pay big the last few years here in WI. I,m just praying for another late spring this year. Mike and I are going to be spending alot of time chasing Gobblers together this year. I will tag along with him and his father at least one day during their 3rd season hunt. Then some time in the first couple weeks of May we are going out the Black Hills of South Dakota, Mike, his father Al, Arturo, And I. The four of us hope to fill up on Merriams. Then Arturo And I both have tags for Last Season back here in WI. I am sure Mike will be more than ready to help dupe a couple Gobblers With Arturo and myself.
Heck Maytom, it looks like I am going to have to go on a few more out of state hunts each year just to fill up that spur board of yours. I love it by the way. Thanks a bunch.
The worst day in the Turkey woods Is by far, more fun, than the best day of any thing else I have ever done.

I had already gone back and read this post of Mike' s yesterday after hearing the sad news. I too am saddened and bewildered also as to how such a great person who has touched so many lives and was looking forward to hunting with his father this spring......how can such a thing happen? Only the guys like me who never had the priviledge to meet him don' t know what was going on in his mind or his life to bring it to a premature end. We can all carry on his passion for turkey hunting and I' m sure that would bring a smile to his face. All his family and friends can have comfort in knowing he is with God now and is probably calling in a big old gobbler in Heaven as we speak! Rest in peace, GobbCaller!
