Title: whos left?
Post by: turkey slayer on May 02, 2011, 03:08:44 PM
Just wondering who is finished for the year, and who is still going strong?
I'm done. I got one this year, overall it was a fun season, but birds really didn't act right all year.

I've still got a couple weekends left although I should be done as of Saturday afternoon....missed another bird at 11 steps...would have been a good scoring bird as well...if I had it to do again I would have body shot him.

I am changing back to my old choke tube and getting away from this 665...not that anything opens up at 11 yards

Rain, rain, rain. 10 + inches last week and 3.5 inches today and it's still raining. Most of my public hunt area was, closed due to high water.  Oh well, that season is over. I Still have until May 8th to fill 3 tags and then hopefully on to Kansas and 3 or 4 days of Rio hunting.

I am pretty sure I am done. Outside chance of going across the river to Indiana, but the bad weather, $100 plus & and only one bird is probably not gonna happen.

Clint

Great season though!!

My season just opened this past Saturday and runs through Memorial Day. Only heard one gobble Sat. and saw him strutting for a hen. I'm getting back out tomorrow, it's probably going to be raining, but I stopped in this spot Mon. am on the way to work and they were gobbling pretty good in there.   :fud:       :newmascot:
