Title: Anyone still hunting?
Post by: Gobble! on May 23, 2019, 10:23:43 AM
My season ended Tuesday when I punched my last tag. I'll get pictures up once Flickr comes back. Good spurs but he wasn't packing the longest beard and appears to have not been worried about eating.

Anyone still hunting, besides jarbo?

I have a couple spots that haven't been pressured. Rumor has it they're gobbling on the roost but shutting down when they hit the ground. Haven't seen any strutting lately either

Unless we catch a break in the weather tomorrow,  i am done.  While i did shoot a double beard, otherwise has been a very frustrating sesson.  Murphys Kaw has been full speed. Last weekend it was a crack of lightning and a downpour when a bird was 10 yards from being in range.  Next morning was 3 coyotes running off birds that were working. Went to another property and a bulldozer backfiring and driving across a pasture, birds came out of strut and took off running.  Every trip seems something different.

Not while i had a chance to get out.  Avoided the tornadic storms, but rain sure set in good.  Lots of flood damage coming over next week.

PA is ending here today but I was done as of yesterday morning. Battled a Tom for 2hrs and a snorting deer got the best of me and ran him off. Saw a little squad of poults on my way out, hope that's a sign of a good hatch and maybe a few of these guys will be kinder to me then their fathers have been in a few seasons.

Season ended with me out of town on a cruise, and a crazy week.  Was on the way to Cuba when i heard a tornado was headed towards my town. Having no service for almost 2 days, was nice to finally learn my family, and all houses were safe.   Back home and the damage was devastating,  so.ehow there were no fatalities and only minor injuries.

Congrats everyone on a great season, looking forward to next year.
