The Alarm didn' t go OFF !
 
This happened 2 mornings in a row. It was after 6:00 am and the sun was coming up but both days turned out to be ok.
Yesterday at 9:00am,there was hunters everywhere do to the holliday but we found a open pc of land that was not being hunted and Mrs BossTom shot her 2nd bird,19.5,8inBD,1inspurs.

This morning the same thing I never left the house untill 9:30am and at 11:00am Sharp I was standing on the neck of my 2nd bird, 21lb, 9in BD,3/4spurs. The birds seem to be working well in the later part of the morning...BT

BT, I kill the majority of my longbeards later in the morning than off the roost,especially on new ground or areas I haven' t scouted.Sometimes the birds will become much more active later in the morning on into the afternoon when hunting high pressure zones!Sometimes starting later is a great tactic just because of early pressure!Also them ole hens gotta start nesting or laying sometime and can leave ole longbeard all by his lonesome!;)Congrats on the birds buddy,post them when you get a chance!!:)

Nice going BT, and congrats to the Mrs. also! Who the heck needs an alarm clock when you can sleep in and still get ' em later in the morning?;)

I have noticed
 
that as I get older, those alarm clocks fail more often than they used to. I guess they just dont make quality alarm clocks anymore. Nice to know I didn' t buy the only lemon out there.[>:]

I hate the feeling of waking up knowing something isn' t right. Had it happen more than once and sure there will be more to follow...but sometimes it pays off and makes you look like an expert.

" I knew they wouldn' t get fired up until well after fly down....so I slept in"

Congratulations on the bird and thanks for giving some comfort for the others that also have bum alarm clocks!

I think I hear mine going off now....dam the p.m./a.m. settings!

Congrats! The late bird gets the worm! Or was that the early bird?

Who needs an alarm clock when you' re going hunting in the morning? I can barely sleep all night, and I usually wake up at least half an hour before its time to get up, anyway. Always have, and I' m older than dirt!!!

Congrats, especially to the Mrs. [8D] The world needs more spouses that hunt turkeys with their spouses and fewer hunting for their turkey spouses.

4 words " Big Ben wind up" never fails and it WILL wake the dead.

Half the fun is jumping out of bed at 5:00am when the alarm goes off.......................................I think? [&o]
As I get older, hunting the second shift sounds better and better. :)
Congrats on the birds. ;)
