    I am OK with it and I am not ok with it . She wanted to go to a after party I said no she fought me but I stood my ground and I am glad I did . Cops  busted up the party. Tickets were given out  for under age drinking . Glad I stood my ground .

  3. The other day when Bill was doing the box call and the turkeys were hammering so hard to it . My heart was racing I started shaking lolol then they crested the hill and I miss my shot . Bill was down hill so he couldn't even get a shot in .  I love hearing them gobble like that .

  4. Went fishing with hubby today . No fish :( but the toads were in a  mating mood . Had to be over 40 of them . I also learned something I didn't know . I always thought toads didn't like water and had their eggs in puddles or some place damp . No they lay them in water while they are mating.

    Biggest I’ve shot (that I recall) was my very first bird.  Shot it in Greenwood NY in 1981 with my buddy Al.  
     

    We went into the local grocery store (Red & White maybe?) in Either Greenwood, Canisteo or Hornell and asked if they’d let us weigh the bird.   They said absolutely!!

    Ran out to the truck and flopped it onto the deli scale.  23lbs and a couple ounces.   
     

    They aren’t the easiest things to weigh.  Regular postage type scales don’t work well and I don’t trust the old fishing scales.    
     

    What scale did you use Cynthia??

    I weight myself on the my home scale . The did it again holding the turkey . Then subtracted my weight  came to 26.1

    I KNEW IT!! I HEFTED THAT GOBBLER AND TOLD CYNTHIA-- THIS IS LIKE THE HEAVIEST  GOBBLER,I HAVE HEFTED. I KILLED A FEW 23LBERS AND ,I KNEW THIS GUY  WAS HEAVIER.  I SAID 23-- POSSIBLY 24LBS.--

      BUT 26LBS?!! THIS IS NOT IOWA!

     CYNTHIA- THAT MAY BE YOUR GOBBLER OF A LIFETIME- SIZEWISE.

       TEAMWORK. CYNTHIA SENT ME BACK IN. WALKED RIGHT DOWN TO WHERE,I SAW HIM AND THE BIRD POPPED OUT IN FRONT OF HER.

      Multiple  Birds responded  to my Cedar Short Box. Cant  wait for tomorrow!!!

    Wish I was off tomorrow.  If not I am Tuesday.  

  7.  We found some birds but the Hen took them away . So Bill and I wonder  around  looking for away to this other ridge that we heard some on . Can't get there unless we go thur thick stuff. So we were making our way back . Walking and talking and all of a sudden on the trail ahead  gobble gobble gobble . So I got tucked into a tree bill did his magic  but the bird was going around us and he went quite . So we got up and start making our way down the trail  and the bird spots us and head back to the trail so I go out to the trail and bill  follows . I said  bill he is still in there go back around and push him my way . So bill goes back in I make my way down alittle on the trail . Then pop I see him coming  I figured  he was going to run across so my first shot missed and this dumb bird just turns and starts walking up the trail so I shot again and  dirt nap for the bird   beard is 10 inches  spurs are alittle over 1 inch. And he weight is 26 pounds . Wesome bird . Thank you Mr Bill. We make a great team . Can't wait to do it again . Bill stayed in the woods the birds we really moving around today. Butchered myself . So still learning . Don't think I did to bad .

  8. My darn gobblers would not commit . They would start to come then get to the water and go back.  bill would call they would come back to the waters edge then go away . Ughhhh these birds . Lots of fun had a couple of hens wonder by . That was cool . My heart was thumping so fast My arm was starting to cramp . Was getting ready to scare the he'll out of them if they didn't move on lolol

       Went to 2 areas with my Turkey Hunting Partner Cynthia here.

     No Gobbling at the 1st area. Got wet- back to the cars and warmed up. Back out-- nothing.

      We left for another  area that must remain secret. 

       Got there at 9.15am. Called close to 9.30am and lo and behold-- there be Gobblers Gobbling.

     Closed the distance. 4 Gobblers and a few small Jakes. They were on Private and would not Flap Twice across a Stream.

     We had a Ball. I Cutt- they Gobbled. Loud + Long Yelping-- more Gobbling. We watched them come close.

     Cynthia saw 2 of them Fighting after,I tried some Fighting Purrs.

     Try again tomorrow  She gets first shot

     

    Can't wait to connect with one of those big boys . Was fun watch but frustrating  when they could just jump over to our side.  I didn't want to leave . Lolol
