Good Luck!I can't wait for tomorrow morning!:cool::D I think I'm going to get less sleep tonight than I do the night before deer season opens.:D Calls are ready, dekes are ready, the 1100 is throwing between 9 and 14 #5's in the vertebrae and skull at 50 yards. Now I just need the birds to cooperate. Already told work I wouldn't be in until at least 11am for the next week or until I get my tom.;):D
Keep at it Good Luck!j-bird, you must bring him down!
BTW guys, no luck this morning,:( had at least 3 possibly 4 gobbling for about 30-45 minutes this morning, but they got tight-lipped early and must have moved off in a different direction. Hens were making quite a racket for a while as well. One lone hen came through and crossed the logging road as we were packing up. Saw a bunch of strutters on the ride back into town, all on private. Heard one shot this morning to our east on private land, fairly close to where we were set up, so it could have been one of the ones that we heard earlier.

Opening Saturday on public land in WI, got to love a car(or more) in each parking lot. Oh well, such is the game. Had at least 2 birds gobbling across the valley early, started coming our way and must have got intercepted by some hens. Within minutes of us hearing the hens, the gobbling stopped and the next time we heard a gobble they were a 1/4 mile in the other direction.:mad:
Dropped off my buddy so he could get some sleep and went on a scouting run and to stop and ask permission to hunt a coworkers dad's farm. He told me to stop any time, but no one was around.:( He has like 2 other farms, so I'm sure he was at one of the other ones. Busy time for them. They have about 30 new calves and still have about a dozen more pregnant cows.
