The Happy Eggshell Challenge Cup

. Oh how sweet retirement is!

Amen to that! 
...Good to see our comp having some success.  Hate to see our little contest turn into a blow-out!   

...And I am familiar with the feeling of having what was thought to be a wise, old, long-spurred gobbler turn into a jake, Happy.  It's been a while, but I can remember that feeling of walking up to a well-fought, hard-won "longbeard" and going "WTF"?!!

Work is what it is. Complaining won't change it so I will just plow ahead. Enjoy what you have you retired fellows. You all aren't gonna see my cards till after the whistle. Just found this to be humorous and worth a good laugh. I forgot to add that after about 10 minutes after I shot him some feller came in and was yelping on his pot call about 150 yards from me. That was worth a chuckle too.

Its getting kinda quiet here fellas. Mid-battle stategization? Going to the bullpen? If so I suggest the lefty.

Well, it's all on you as our final batter Happy. I'm done and won't be scoring anymore. Two decent birds at home in Ohio, but Ky was a crap pit this year. I still at least had a swing and miss down there. I let a really nice gobbler walk the second day in Ky, thinking my buddy would whack him and I'd pick off his running mate. Sure that worked out as planned, not. My buddy decides to adjust the gun not knowing that no 2 was there and got busted. I wish I'd dropped the hammer after 6 days of total crap. Three of the six days we never heard a gobble. I'm off to South Dakota to visit my daughter later this week.

Darn, I don't know if I can handle all this pressure. Bottom of the 9th and I am at the plate. Gobblenut what do I do? Swing at anything close, hope I walk or crowd the plate and pray the pitcher wings me?

I'm here again now,...just got back from two weeks in the upper mid-west.  Turned out to be a total fiasco of a trip, including a car wreck (nothing serious to anybody or anything except the car) that ultimately resulted in very little turkey hunting getting done.  A planned three-week trip turned into two, and with nine of those days spent on the road. 

Plans for hunting about twelve days turned into six,...with three of those days sitting in a cabin watching it rain all day long.  The three good days were spent just trying to find a gobbler to hunt,...which ultimately failed miserably.  Bottom line is I didn't hear a turkey gobble the entire trip!  It seems that sometimes the turkey gods just don't want things to work out...   

I hope everybody else ended their seasons on a much better note than I! 

[Happy]

That stinks, glad everyone is ok though. Maybe the New York Boys will tag a couple before its all over.

Saw turkey for the first time all season yesterday, mostly hen way to far away and one hen and tom flying after person on adjoining property shot and they flew away from that area. Going out tomorrow if not pouring and going out Sunday till about 10-10:30 and heading back to town for church. Monday is the last day and the best looking weather wise.

Best of luck!
