Well guys I've let y'all down in FL. It was really a strange season. Seems like the birds started way early then just got lock jaw.  Yesterday and today's hunts started with some excitement but died off quickly. Yesterday there was an argument with a hen between me and the gobbler.  Today two gobblers were going crazy on the limb then flew down the other direction. Oh well, that's what happens sometimes. I'm going to hunt NH opening weekend of the season up there, so there's still a chance ill put something on the scoreboard.

     kdavis31     That's turkey hunting and could happen to any one of us.
  I was a little hesitant to get in this contest the way turkeys have been kicking my butt the last few years, this year has been the best turkey hunting I have had in a long time. Good luck in NH.

Well, I'm with kdavis....had some very very close calls, and saw some awesome things in the woods again, but they bested me in the Florida swamps.  Few weeks ago called in 2 birds and watched as they drummed and gobbled 8ft from the back of my head (of course gun was pointed in the wrong direction).  Spent the first couple of weeks with a dang ear infection and on the days I felt OK to go, I couldn't hear for squat. And of course had a gobbler walk by I only caught the tail end of.  Even saw a hen with poults this past weekend. 
The birds were on fire the 2 weeks before season...unfortunately, they were very tight lipped for our season in Central Fl.  It was a weird season.
Go get 'em!

Saturday is the last day for us here in SC.  Going to see if I can get us an upgrade.  Just glad I got us one and glad I was able to get out in the woods as much as I have.  It has been a great season!  Good luck to everyone!

Well it's over here in Mississippi.  I didn't shoot but my son did.
