Sitting here on a cool, windy morning waiting on a critter to come wandering by, it does not if it is a pig or a deer, male or female. The corn under the feeder does not look like it has been touched in days but then again the acorns are everywhere so not much need for a critter to eat corn.
Got here in plenty if time to spare sunrise is at 7:28. It is good to be settled in and still have 30 or so minutes to spare before first light, it lets the woods settle down. These critters are not needing the corn by seeing all the acorns on the ground and they are plump looking.
Charlie and I got to stands around 5 pm and that gives us about 2 hours of daylight left. Now had we known that it was going to cool down then we would of got here sooner but its still in mid 90's so we didnt see any sense in sweating and stinking.
It is the second week of the 2015 - 2016 and we didn't make it up last weekend due to being ill.
Been turkey hunting now for 2 weekends in a row. The first weekend we heard them gobbling but could not draw them in.
Now on the second weekend (4-25-15) Morgan, Nick and I went up there. The ground was still saturated from the rains of the last two weeks. I set up by my self and Morgan and Nick set up together, around 7:00 am I heard a shot followed a few seconds by another shot. I called Morgan and asked what they were shooting at and he told me that Nick shot and missed and he shot and connected and was at the truck needing a knife. Several minutes later I heard another shot and called the boy back and he said that Nick had connected. It was the first time either boy had shot a turkey. Congratulations on a successful hunt! Nick's turkey had a 9" beard and Morgans which is on the tailgate had a 5" beard.
You can see our decoy in the pic and both birds were in the process of attacking it when they were shot.
The bugs were not bad but then again i had a thermcell and i did not find any ticks on me.
So all in all it was a great hunt. And i am very proud of these two young hunters.
