Boy how time flies!  It’s already the 12th of May!  The turkey season is over half way done and we haven’t connected yet.  Turkeys 5, hunters O,O,O……what can I say and this was supposed to be our year.  Today maybe!?!  Weasel and I are out to get them one more time.  I have always said, You can’t get them by sitting on the couch or laying in bed.

Today’s plan is sort of the same but with a twist.  Maybe the twist is what we need.  The birds have been doing a little twisting of their own this year and we need to twist with them.  It seems that in the past they would do what we have been trying to get them to do this season, but they haven’t held up to their end of the bargain, so we are going into their court yard and hopefully take out the king pin.  It gets frustrating sitting in my blind, high on the hill and listening to them gobbling below me, hoping they will fly down and then come up the hill into my waiting 20 gauge, and then have them go the opposite direction  time after time.  So, this morning we are going down into their strut zone and way lay them….we think.  At least we are doing something different this morning.

So, wish us luck and I’ll be adding more later on about this days hunt!
