Well no kills boys.  It was a tough 5 days and I think I lost about 8 pounds.  Many many miles were put on with very little action. The only really good weather day was Tuesday and this morning before it warmed up.  I managed to bump into a bird running and gunning Tuesday that I called into 15 yards, but I just couldn't get a shot.  He then circled around my weak side and he busted me trying to shift.  It was a fun hearing him spitting and drumming and just hammering gobbles that close. Wildspur got into some birds as well but no kills. He saw 4 bears as well. Beautiful country there.

I think I'm headed back up Memorial day weekend to visit my family, so I should be able to sneak out for one or 2 more hunts.  It kills me to put the gear and clothes away for the year.  Just kills me.

Dang it man!!! Tough year for Guns N' Hoses. :(  Well, at least you aren't eating tag soup like some of us. Good luck on the last hunt. :icon_thumright: :anim_25:
