I used to live in Harrogate and Middlesboro and worked in Bean Station so I went by there on the way home a lot. I live in Lafollette now... I usually hunt in Speedwell... I got a sweet spot up in Bell co for when KY season opens...

Nice job, not much happening over in Oneida right now. 


The only thing going good is the wind every dang day.

Tom They've been quiet here for a week too I hunted 2 days without hearing a single bird! I roosted these birds last night they gobbeled a couple times to a coyote howler and this morning they were on fire!
