Best of luck to you and your son out there. I just got back from hunting in the prarie units in SD.and the hunting was the toughest I've seen in the 6 years I've been out there. The bird numbers were way down and the toms just would not respond to the calls.Looks like they had a good hatch last year though as we saw lots of jakes and hens.

I just got back from Wyoming.The toms were not coming to the calls but we could keep them gobbling enough to sneak up for a shot.Our group went 5 out of 6.
Where are you hunting in Wy?
Good luck to you and your son.

Good luck, too. I agree with paintbrush gobblers were tough in SD this year--would not respond to calling earlier this season. Maybe things will have changed by now. (But I did see a lot of birds in the area I hunted, though probably not as many as last year, so they probably are down some, too.) Still, there's birds out there, so good luck!!

You'll have a blast regardless...

Good luck. I know you'll have fun and I hope you get one.
