Title: 1 week to go
Post by: VanHelden Game Calls on May 12, 2012, 10:54:24 PM
FYI I have 1 week left to upgrade.  I did not get it done today, I only had  this morning to hunt.  Lots of toms and maybe the biggest I have seen ever, but smart as well and it seems they are on the summer routines. 

Next Wed I start my last season around here.

Who else is still hunting?

Van,  I still have Tues, Wed, and Thursday until 1pm each day(WV law) and then our season closes on the 19th. 

JBrown,  since I dont duck hunt, I have to say the only good thing about turkey season being over is now I can sleep until about 7am on my days off instead of 4am.  Im bushed for real.

I've been out there still, I've had three close encounters this past week but the birds are getting really nervous and call shy.  I'm gonna keep after it but I'm not expecting much.

Done. Thunder storms have made my decision to hunt in the afternoons for me. I'm officially pulling my gun and gear out the truck. I had a wonderful season, but couldn't top that first score.
