    I thought this May be the shortest hunting trip ever. I set up at 10:30. I am covered in birds! And they are gobbling.

    I passed on a tom with a 6 or so inch beard and then 2 yotes ruined my sit. I did see a another group of 10 with 2 toms and a mix of hens and jakes. Two real nice toms by themselves. And 2 more nice toms with 2 hens. All of which came in from different directions. LOL! This doesn't include the 25 plus birds (3 different fields I saw on the way there. This place is 9 miles from my house. I am going to try it in the PM tomorrow. I'll setup about 50 yards from where I set today.

    If I'd been using a shotgun I would of had it done twice.

    We've been having severe thunderstorms, floods, and high winds, this past couple days here. About leveled the town of Penn Yan. After it clears up ( hopefully tomorrow) I'll be back out.

    I've been in the field since a tad past 1PM CST. Wouldn't you know it. A gobbler was at full strut 49 yards from where I was going to sit. I snuck in on the other side of the draw about 125 yards from where he was at. All has been quite.
