First Time Back

[shaman]

I managed to find some cooperative gobblers yesterday morning and got enough material for a podcast.   Enjoy

First Time Back

This is a bit of a milestone for me.   Last year, I got diagnosed with Cancer right before season started.  I scheduled Chemo for May and managed to get out and bag a bird-- be damned if I was going to let it interfere with Turkey Season.   Anyhow, I'm clean, I'm recovered (mostly), and I finally made it back out to the Honey Hole for a podcast.   

In case you're wondering.  I killed The Virginia Rambler last April, and  this is the new incarnation of that bird.    It's funny, but over the years, I find pretty much that the land dictates the bird.   For two decades, I've been chasing a bird that roosts out a nearby ridge (Virginia) and if I manage to attract his attention, he invariably takes the long way around, following the road that leads right to my blind.   Some years, The Virginia Rambler wins.  Sometimes, like last year, he came a little too far along the track in search of that mystery hen.

This year's version of the 'Rambler was probably henned up and went quiet after flydown.   However, season opens in a couple of weeks. My guess is he'll still be there.

It's a great blessing you have a positive outlook and are able to focus on these things we enjoy so much. Not easy to do in the midst of harrowing adversity. It is no small accomplishment and is inspirational.

Glad to hear you got a clean report and are getting back at it!!

Glad to hear you beat it Shaman!  Continued good health to you.

Have fun hunting the Rambler.  Sounds to me like you've pretty much got him figured out.  I hope he sticks around and plays the game well.

I was out this AM with the Mic, but it was too windy to get a good recording.   I had a gob and some hens come in on me. I had to lay low to keep them from seeing me.

Too bad, too.  #1 Granddaughter was out with her Dad over on the next ridge.   It was the Yute Opener this morning.   I wish I'd had her and the shotgun along. We might have been able to score.
