Well boys while getting my ears lowered yesterday the barber asked if I had been out listening for any ol gobblers.
I replied no,he went on to say that the hear say was..The are starting to warm up.
So I ventured out this morning with my pap who is 77 btw..We went to my listening spot,I can usually hear for a good ways from this place and it's a good spot to do some locator calls.
We got out and a few owls started to cut loose,it wasn't long at 6:30 I heard my first bird of 2014..He was a long ways off but you know that last little bit of a gobble you can always hear.
I stood around until about 7 while they was sounding off to crows and owls..I walked on out a ridge to get a better location on a bird while pap stayed back and maned the truck.
I got back and he told me that he had heard one across the road which lit my eyes up,as I have permission to that ground.
Funny part of the morning was when the owls started cutting loose my pap said welp someone else is owl hooting..which they wasn't..He said I gotta change the battery's in my hearing aid haha.
We did stop along the road a few places on the way home and tried some locators but nothing was heard.
I just got my gun patterned yesterday,it's not as impressive as some but for the little bit of money I have in it I was impressed.
Also have a Lonnie Sneed hot hen on the way,my buddy has it..I just have to meet up with him and get it.I will be counting on that call and Drew's hooked call this year...My Halloran just don't sound the same since it came back...Drew If your reading this,I can't wait for season to start..I'm excited to use it.
