PODCAST -- Closing the Deal

[shaman]

 I got out this morning and got some audio for my first podcast of the year.  This was at the Honey Hole.  I had a tree full of hens to my left and a tree full of gobs to my right.  It took about a half hour for everyone to come together and make things happen, but Mister Gob got the deal closed.  It was pretty self-explanatory, so I just let the tape roll.

Thanks!  I'm on my way out again this morning with my trusty umbrella mic.  I hope to record another flydown before the weather moves in.

I appreciate your appreciation.

Well, all glory is truly fleeting.

I went back out to the Honey Hole this AM, even got there earlier than yesterday.  The gobs had moved about 100-200 yards along the ridge. The hens were nowhere.  I got a wee bit of gobbling from the near roost and some more from a roost about 400-500 yards away and came in.

You really have to be there at the right place and the right time.

Do you have your Podcast on Spotify?

No, I only do a few a year.  So far, my weblog has been sufficient.

Maybe I'll investigate Spotify or some other venue now that I'm an old retired fart.

By the way, here's the Shamanic Podcast Repository. 

I think this is the tenth season I've done them.

You're most welcome.  I don't know if this is true about the rest of the world, but the pre-season seems to be the best time to listen to hens. and the best time to make this sort of recording.  The previous week, those hens were just as raucous.  I just had battery trouble with the recorder and didn't get anything laid down.

In another week, we'll start getting into the run-up to the prime breeding phase where the gobs will come to  just about anything. I have to be careful. Gobs are practically crawling up my leg.  By the time our season starts, all that's over and done with and they've entered the latent phase.
