  well I’ll do my best, it’s a 600 mile round trip and I’m leaving Friday afternoon to hunt with my son for two days. Normally we hunt a week together but he guides and just got booked for the next week so I’ll have to get it done in the two days he has allotted me.    Cats and the cradle and the silver spoon….we never know how life’s going to turn out do we.

I’m all packed up and heading out this morning. I’ve got a 300 mile drive to where I’m hunting tomorrow and it looks like we may have some rain coming in, you never know what tomorrow’s going to bring. Thank you for all the well wishing and I’ll keep you all posted as soon as I can.

Ok, here’s an update, trying to do this from my Apple SE phone so bare with me. We heard gobbling at first light today but before we could move in and setup in some old standing oaks the birds were already on the ground. As we moved closer we could see half a dozen or so hens moving across a large cleaning in front of us. We dropped down behind some large fallen branches and setup behind them, not ideal but in front or any closer we would have been busted. My son started calling and we saw a white head pop up about a hundred yards away. The tom came in hot and running, he pulled up about twenty five yards away and raised his head looking for the hen. My son whispered “shoot him” about ten times but I didn’t have a shot through the limbs. The tom knew something was up, turned around and ran back just as fast as he came. 
After recovering my son started calling again and three more toms started coming across the opening. The first one stopped at about thirty yards and puffed up, slowly he came closer and started moving to my left. I halfway stood up and shot him at twenty five yards, at the same time my son shot the one to the right for a double. Both nice birds, they looked like twins. I scored him at 60.275, 21.9lbs, 10.125 beard, LS .9375, RS .875.
