I got to hunt 4 days last weekend but was not able to harvest another bird.  I still have a few chances to get after em.  I'd really like to upgrade.

Good luck to you and all that are gonna be out hunting. I have 2 days left I'm kinda glad it will be over. Kind of Bittersweet!

filled 3rd and final tag yesterday
was headed home early after a long morning of tangling and losing against 2 toms. changed my mind after driving out and with a little more than an hour before quittin time at 1, swung by another farm a couple miles away
walked in, sat down, first call on a gooserbat double bit and a tom gobbles a couple hundred yards away
call again, another answer, hit him with a couple cutts, a couple more gobbles and he's comin in! 15 minutes later after maneuvering through a dense jungle of multiflora rose he struts out into the clear just 20 yards away
great way to cap my 25th season of chasin longbeards
2 year old tom had 9 inch beard, inch spurs and weighed just under 20 pounds

Guys it's not looking like I'm going to be able to contribute to the team I only have two hunts left and yet to see or hear a gobbler but yall have done a great job and taken a lot of nice birds

[Illini Tom]

keep after em, nick
a lot of birds get shot the last day of the season, including my first one this year

[ericjames]

Yeah. You'll get one just keep at it. I figure footondaface will upgrade a few times within the next few days. He should be on his first hunt with gooserbat right now.

[Gooserbat]

He upgraded, in fact we both killed great birds this am.  Here is Andrew's
