sunrise on foggy morning, as he lies, tagged out.

Rain may hold off. Skipping pop up blind. Kid ready and in car. Good luck to all headed out this morning.

Looking at the radar, the rain looks to hit here within the hour. Looks heavy to the west with some lightning mixed in. So I'm sitting here questioning the wisdom of sitting in a pop up blind in a thunderstorm? Am I being a wuss?

[Doewhacker]

Well I got up and checked the weather and after weighing my odds decided to wait for better odds. 

I plan on killing the bird I have been saving for my son because he made some bad decisions and got himself in trouble at school. It will be one of the many lessons he will learn this week while on suspension. I will even save the fan so he can look at it as a reminder to make good decisions in the future.

Sprinkling out. Hoot tube drawing a blank on roost gobbles.  We hear birds eere going ninja mode to set up tight.

Hunting with a buddy at his place. One gobbling on roost. We're playing it quiet for now. They usually head our way.

[turkeyfeathers]

Yup , raining harder. Guy who owns property has a sweet cabin so we’re staying dry and listening for gobbles. In all honesty we can work birds from right here. I shot at and shot bird 75 yards behind here

Bird is gobbling on the ground a little but not moving. We're still quiet.

Use ridges to cover your move if you do, dang , woods are thin. Ground gobbles have been hot 7-9 lately for me. Choot em in the beak

Very quiet so far, only a couple early gobbles.

Not looking good. Heard some weak hen talk , since then no gobbling. My buddy told me another guy missed one here a few days ago so he might be shy now.

[Steuben Jerry]

Is this classified as sleeping in the woods ? Her streak in jeopardy if not

Sure, I see wood behind and under her 

[turkeyfeathers]

Not only can I not get a shock gobble from birds I know are here but crows are silent to the crow call too.

Too much wine and a movie that ended late. Looked good when I woke up at 4 but just couldn’t do it. Set it for 6 and thought I’d go in for a later start... then it was raining...

Kinda bummed at a missed week.

What's with all the spent brass?

Woodchuck trouble I'd suspect.......

[mowin]

I slept in.   Just couldn't get my old tired butt out of bed that early.  

[Robhuntandfish]

Liars!!!   I planned my drinking last night on the weather forecast and it JUST started raining here.  Cpuldve had that early morning hunt at my close spot damn that meteorologist.

But a late night with GF and a couple beers and a couple sangria's and I wasn't getting up at 4 am this morn.  Lol. 

Tomorrow it's on in my best spot and gonna setup with a Jake on the woods trail on one side and a hen in the field on the other.   

Good luck everyone
