I did sleep in Saturday, the first time I can ever remember not going turkey hunting when weather permitted, but several days of 4 hours of sleep was taking its toll, and I had tons of other things to do. Today, it was raining heavily, so I kicked myself for not going yesterday!  :)

I can get awfully tired, but just one gobble, and I feel like I'm 21 again!

NO.  Don't get to turkey hunt as much as I want.
A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands, love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper; his hands remember the rifle.

Nope. I've hunted everyday and I'm getting tired from lack of sleep but I know in 3 weeks its going to be over with so I keep on keeping on. The gobbling has died off this past week but it only takes that 1 day for one to get lonely  :icon_thumright:

Lazy is not what I get, but it does get harder to go when the birds are not wanting to play at all. They have all quit where I hunt and by that I mean not seeing or hearing anything. That gets old after 2 or 3 hunts.


exactly how I am,I get up every morning that I am able to hunt,and I go,but it does sometime gets hard to go when you are not hearing or seeing anything
it's not the harvest,it's the chase

X 3,

I get up every morning about 3:00 anyway...but will very easily convince myself not to go...then feel sorry about it later in the morning.

Birds are doing nothing where I'm hunting and have just about walked my knees out up and down steep ridges looking and listening for more.

I been stuck on one gobbler for my whole season and I'd have left him from the second day if I could find another one.

After I get my first I get complacent. I like helping friends and calling them in just as much as shooting them.

My 12 year old son nailed his second bird the first morning.  I nailed my Tom the 3rd morning.  I took my friend out a few times and it was a no go.  After taking a week or so off I'm waiting for my tag in 1 1/2 weeks or so.  Hopefully a sweet spot in that the guy hasn't had people hunt it for a few years.  Bow and gun hunting I saw birds every day.  It's my friend's ex-wife's ex-boyfriend.  But hey, it will work for me.

With my children's lacrosse, basketball, baseball, track&field, softball, and dance the short nights of sleep took their toll and I burned out.  I'm feeling it again though.  Oh yeah, plus I decided I'm not offering to take people out that didn't 'have the time' to sight in their guns.

i work 2nd shift get in bed bout 12 and get up at 430. then have to leave for work at 1230 and its killin me but NEVERSTOPCHASIN! :cowboy:

I'm in the exact same boat, earliest I get to bed is 12:30 and I'm up at 4:30. On days where I don't get a nap work is miserable lol. I keep on going though  :OGturkeyhead:

I dont call myself lazy because Im deperate!!! After my boy killed one,I cant buy a bird, so I still get up at 4 and still get disappointed, then get desperate again and the cycle continues.

I get up at 4:15 every morning. I hunt to 11:00 or 12:00 and thin go to work. I work 8 to 10 hr. and go home. Do it all over again the next morning. I am lucky to have a job that I can go in whenever I want to as long as I work the 8 to 10 hr. The only thing I wish is it would cool down about 10* NO I will hunt everyday if I have a tag. 2 more years I can retire if I am living. Thin I will hunt everyday until quitting time.
