big congrats mrs. hill and mr. buck 

after 3 hard hunting days with lots of action but no score, finally pulled the trigger on my second tom this morning.
3 year old that i thought was gonna weigh 25 pounds after the long walk back to the truck, but he only weighed 20.
just ran his numbers with a 9.5 beard and 1 1/16 spurs that puts him at 60.25, so no upgrade but i'll take him.
permit no. 3 starts thursday

Well had a great day, but no bird. I heard 6 different gobblers this morning, 3 singles and 3 in one bunch. I got to with in about 75 yards of the 3, and they would not budge. They were just up above me on the ridge and were blowing the tree tops out. A bad storm started moving in thunder, lightning and heavy rain. So the birds dropped over the other side of the ridge and I headed home. Never heard a gobble till about 8 am but after that they turned it on. Be after them again tomorrow, 100% chance of rain though.

Stay safe Tom. We are getting some really nasty weather here in Chattanooga right now. I guess the same front headed your way tomorrow.

Weather was really bad in mid tn this morning it was raining so hard that the bird I missed I lost sight of him two different times at 50 yds high winds and lighting and tornado warnings but all you guys in the path of this storm system be safe

I've found in the past that after a few days hunting it's best to give the birds some rest and try a new group of birds. As far as the deer if you need help let me know this fall

[nickhrp]

Got another spot I'm gonna hunt the next four days maybe I can get something going there
