I was out at my hunting place this morning to watch the sunrise and listen for birds.
The first place I stopped had one gobbling about 200 yards away and he was feeling it this morning! He was double gobbling on his own, loud and often. I stayed there about 10 minutes to see if any others woke up nearby and he never stopped.
I saw two longbeards courting a hen and heard three others gobbling so it was a good morning. I stopped by the range and verified sight in on my shotgun and put some deer minerals out before heading home to grab my grandson for fishing.
Got a little sunburned on my face when I at a bite and forgot to pull my mask back up.
I'm worn out but it was a good day.
Our season doesn't open until April 22, that poor Tom may have no voice by then.
