A couple pretty days helped me collect a pretty gobbler at 12:35pm Friday. I was in MO 5 days, it rained on 4 of those days and I dont mean a drizzle. This area is in major trouble with the flood waters. I was in an area that was far too accessible and these birds had seen a thing or two since the opener. In other words, they had the game figured out. Unfortunately for this ole boy, no one in the area uses a wingbone. After snubbing everything else, he acted stupid once the yelper got started. :you_rock:

As he was receiving a shoulder ride out, we bumped a hen who was busy with this. . . . so we got a quick snap shot and fled the scene.

Thursday while walking up a creek bed, I came upon this horseshoe. . . . I knew that had to mean things were going to turn for the better with the hard headed birds.

And the living arrangements . . . .
