Birds shut down around 6:30 , I had 5 or 6 birds gobbling, they started about 5:30. I was looking forward to a morning of gobbling. At 6:50 4 hens came walking in with a nice mature Tom in tow. He took a dirt nap.
My brother from another mother Phil and I doubled up this morning on a mature pair of brothers. I love turkey season. The old 1,2,3 layed them both out.
62 years hunting with Phil, my bird sported 4 beards.
I bought the lil 410 single shot with red dot Steven's last year for my granddaughter and hopefully Saturday morning 🌄 youth hunt she'll get her 1st bird.
I've flown in to Regan more times then I care to remember. The pilot is putting on the breaks 3 miles out and I watch my grandparents house go by the window. The crashes there are so horrific. I just crossed the river and was less than 500 yards from the bridge when the Air Florida jet crashed...
The hunters were all members of the 602 welders union. My son worked with a couple of the guys. I called him to talk about it and for once I told him I'm was so glad he didn't hunt. One of his forman's work with all the guys.
