OK! Will this be the last turkey hunt for the 2013 season or not?  All I want to do is get a shot at one of those little buggers.  So does the Weasel.  We think if we get a shot and miss or whatever and don’t get our bird…well the season is over.  That’s good enough.

So, in the morning we are heading out once more to try and seal the deal.  Our game plan is simple.  Get up way before anyone else.  Drive the hour to the spot.  Hike the 30 minutes to the blinds.  Sit for hours hoping beyond hope that a gobbler likes the meadow we are watching.   And pulling the trigger on mister big boy tom.  Could the game plan be any simpler?

So, yesterday I woke up with a split in my right heel.  I have nursed it with Udder Aid

A product that we found in the old milk house when we converted it to the trapping shed.  I saved all of the cans…want one?

Anyway, this salve will fix anything from a cut to a sprain and I even think it will fix the rain gutters.  This stuff is fantastic.  Of course, for you people who are reading this and live in California…sorry guys…this stuff is known to cause cancer in you guys.

I went from a very sore, painful, split in my heal to one that could use that same heal to split bricks like a ninja warrior.  It still shows the crack, but it’s all healed over and is not sore at all.  I will sprint up the hills to the blinds!  Watch out Weasel, stay within sight of  my head lamp light or you will be left behind!

We are convinced that the turkeys will be roosted “where they are supposed to be” (never expect the expected), and they will come up the hill right into our waiting guns!  BLAM!!!!  BLAM!!!!  Two gobblers down!

Back at the truck will await two Oly beers to celebrate the kill and we won’t mind if that happens at 7 a.m. or later!  We also have two Spam sandwiches and some chips for our breakfast/lunch.  Can things be better planned?  I think not!

So, before the morning comes, I am writing this so you know when you wake up and read this that I wrote this “last night” (tonight to me right now) and now you know what me and the Weasel are doing.  Enjoy your cup of coffee and think of us sitting in our blinds in the cold morning air….but it ain’t raining and that is a very good thing, even though today we are prepared for it!  Heck, why don’t you go to the cupboard and get yourself a donut or cookie to go with your coffee…eat it and stare at this computer until the update comes later…It will you know!

Gobblers are coming to us today!
