had a great weekend, Golf, Killin Turkeys and fishing with my kids
started out watching weather Friday and Playing Golf with some Clients. it was nice to see the weather blow out and get in the woods Saturday. No gobbling in the tree, but they got cranked up around 0900. 0930 had one on the ground.

he was a good bird 1" spurs and 9.5" beard.
after that my wife made the long drive east and met me to try for a bird. well after a little too much celebrating she didnt make it up sunday. but me and a good buddy did and headed into the river bottom, the river is on a fast rise so we wanted to get in there before the river took it. after not hearing squat in the tree we started Trolling, got a bite around 0830. by 0845 we had these two soggy bottom swamp chickins floppin in the water.

woke up yesterday morning knowing that i had a small window to try em before the wind started blowing like a sack of Fags. not a sound out the tree. heard a bird at 0730 gobbling at a crow but he wouldnt answer me. tried to stay with him, but he shut up. stuck around the area and at 0930 with the wind rippin, and me fixin to call it a day. he answered me and was real close. barely got set up and he was on a mission struttin on in. he ate some #6 lead at 16 yds.
