Sorry guys... I'm tryin, but the weather went from 70 earlier in the week to 30 with snow by FRI... I tried to hunt on Sat morn, but it was super windy, super cold and snowing... This whole weekend is shot for me... It is supposed to be that way most of this week... I only have till next Sun, so I hope and pray it gets warm by next weekend... Every year I get screwed in some way and wind up getting squat... I need a place to hunt in Southern MI... [:@] Oh well... We'll see what happens...

Congrats to all who were succesful so far... Great job!!!

Almost scored again. It was a set up that I had to be on him when his head poped up. I thought he was going left & he went right. I had him at 10 yds. He heard me walking up the point to another bird. When he gobbled I had to set up quick. I was setting at the same tree where I took my 2nd bird last year. I hit the call 2 times & he was in my lap. I feel the season will get better before it goes out. I have had another bird give me the slip 3 times this season. I know where he roosts & struts. I will get him before season is over. It is starting to get personal[:@].Good luck to everyone still hunting.

hunted 1st time yesterday here at home.... heard 2 birds..set up on both during the morning. both had at least 3 hens...the 1st I sat up on gobbled til flydown,then went cold..the 3 hens I saw fly down before him made smalltalk at best, and moved down the mountain....he quickly followed...
the 2nd bird was in the middle of a very vocal harem, but none would investigate...this gobbler didn't speak much, and wouldn't answer any calls... tough huntin', but we'll try again when the weather and time allows... at least it wasn't raining...
