It seems I'm either getting drenched or having to tromp through shin-deep mud to get anywhere. I actually had a nice bird come during a rain storm last Friday, but his wet beard was stuck to his chest, and I couldn't tell if he was a jake or if he even had a beard (legal issue). He didn't gobble or strut, so it wouldn't been a boring kill anyway. Something interesting, though...I think I've managed to call in more hens than I ever remember doing before, but of course, they seem to be only hens in the state without gobblers following them. :D
Oh well, I'm going to relax for a couple of days and let some blisters heal. Maybe they'll wanna play later on in the week...Good huntin' all!
Hang in there Jerad, your persistence will pay off, and soon I'm sure.

Sunshine headin' your way brother!

You ain't supposed to drown'em stinky! ;)
'Grats, Stinky! :happy0064:
That's AWESOME!!! I was only joking though...Sort of! :lol: :TooFunny: :TooFunny:
Congrats stinky. He looks nice and heavy! :you_rock:
LOL! He lost a lot of his "water weight" on the ride home.
I was reminded of a valuable lesson, though. DO NOT stand on their necks when they drop into mud puddles. The wings flung mud up into my face and all over my clothes, gun, binocs, and so on. My teeth are still gritty. :D
:TooFunny: :TooFunny: :TooFunny:
Stink you are killing me. Congrats on a nice gobbler.
TRKYHTR
That's AWESOME Jerad! :you_rock: :you_rock:
Glad you didn't drowned....use your camo snorkel, mask, and fins next time. ;)
We had our fill of the storms this morning, never even heard a gobble but we did manage to score somewhat.
Here's a pic, video to follow soon.

Nice video Hardcore. We are starting to see some evidence of wild hogs just south of where I live. Don't wont the rascals around here.
Nicely done guys! :you_rock:
One more Missouri trip this weekend. It looks like the weather is gonna be nice for tag soup. :D I just got permission to hunt a farm I haven't been to almost 20 years. I hope I don't get lost. It used to have a lot of turkeys way back then...but we'll see.
Wipe 'em out of existence stinkmeister! Take out the alpha male first and work your way down.
