The Mooselette had to stay up North. I was unable to guide her on her first turkey hunt. I was able to get out with the recording gear and get one more podcast done before the Iron Curtain dropped and I had to beat it back over the bridge. At least this podcast was special. I counted 8 gobs and 2 came close. One wandered up the umbrella mic and did his spit n' drum act for me.
PODCAST: Yute Hunt 2020 (http://genesis9.angzva.com/?p=8326)
I came back in and found out that my season is over-- out of state tag sales are suspended. Drat. This is the first time since 1986 that I won't be able to go out for season. I have one consolation: between this past weekend and this one, I had gobblers in close. Both would have been easy shots with the shotgun. I guess that will have to suffice. I've had many seasons with less.
Here's the other podcast from last week
The Mistaken Gobbler (http://genesis9.angzva.com/?p=8303)
The thing these two podcasts have in common is that both times a gobbler keyed on my camo umbrella mic and came up trying to court it. The funny thing about last week was the gobbler realized his mistake and made a little squeek as he turned around and walked off.
