Spring 2015 is in the books!!!

[wisconsinteacher]

It has been another great spring.  Last year was my best ever and this year I topped it.  I made some goals before the season and all were meet but one.  Goal 1 was to have fun and be safe, goal 2 was to take a kid hunting, goal 3 to be in on 5 successful hunts and goal 4 was to call one in with a trumpet.  Every goal was met except the last one.  I had a bird gobble but a hen cut him off as he worked towards me.  In total, I hunted the Learn to Hunt and at least one day of every WI season and was part of a successful hunt every season.  I saw a total of 7 birds go down plus a few misses.  I hunted all or part of 16 days and had birds within 100 yards on 14 of them, this is despite having bronchitis for 2 weeks.  I learned a lot and have some goals for next year.  I learned to call softer and less often.  I also learned that I need a buy a crow call for a locator because for the past 2 weeks, they gobbled at every crow that flew over.  I need to work on my soft calling with a mouth call, practice more with my trumpets and acquire more land closer to my home so I can hunt more at night.  I also was able to get a nice bird with my late father-in-laws gun which was very meaningful.  Now to save up for some calls and a new pair of snake boots because mine have a few leaks.  Thanks for all the info and help from the members of this site you help a guy like me learn and fuel the fire to keep working hard.
