Our opener was on 5/1 and i scored around 11am. The weather sux and it has rained daily. Not alot of gobbling thus far but the three hens he was with brought him to his demise. I didn't even see him strut and he was more in a feeding mode but his mistake is that he crossed my path in the pro diamond. With my luck, he had only one spur but he weighed 19.8 lbs. i will hunt this coming week but rain is in the daily forecast. This is the third year in a row that it is raining almost daily in NY for at least a week.
Good luck to those who are still hunting and i will try to upgrade my score.
Best Regards,

Congrats on your gobbler Doc!! I was told recently that one gobbler is better than none. So I would say to you that one spur is better than no spurs!!! ;) ;D Hope the weather improves for you. Good job Murph!!! :icon_thumright:

Wow, decapitation. Good Job and Congratulations!!!!
I hear you on the rain. I think this past year and a half it hasn't gone more than 3-4 days without raining.

Congrats man. That's a heck of a pattern you're shooting there bud. Bird never knew what hit him, I'm sure. Glad you had some early success.
