Today was the New York Opener. I got up at 2:00 am to pouring rain. Wishful thinking was that it would stop at day break, it did. But for only about 30 minutes. I had decoys out, and said I am sticking it out. Everything was wet, so I used my mouth call. It worked out. Heard a gobble at 7:05. Worked him in, by 7:45, he came strutting in with two hens in tow. 30 yard shot ended a wet, but very rewarding story for opening day. Be safe....

Congratulations Tom, good looking bird there. Did not go so well for me, Could not get to sleep, got up to late, started on my way and could not figure out why things were so blurry and then it hit me, I was wearing my reading glasses and I had to turn around, go back home and get the right glasses. By the time I got there the light was pretty much up, did not really need to use the green light to get my area set up and did not hear anything all day long. I only hear 1 shot all day and that really surprised me.

Very wet, I was worried my blind would be gone. Thanks for the well wishes and continued luck to you as well. Be Safe
