I punted this morning due to the wind and going tomorrow morning instead. Half the fun for me is hearing them gobble and that wasn't happening today with 23mph.

Wow, you must have some very loud birds I guess I had a buddy brave the winds today where we normally hear 8-10 sounding off. He didn't hear a peep.

I got one killed this morning right at first light.Lucky for me they were roosted in the same ditch i was in or there is no way i could have heard them.

Setup on the north side of a timber and heard alot of gobbling and ended up doubling with a buddy. :way:

Well being the early bird didn't pan out after all. Ended up being set up right underneath the roost trees which is never good. Two big bosses that had a bunch of ladies wouldn't come into the decoys. I got them fired up though gobbling their heads off.

The next set up I literally stepped in the blind and was digging out my calls when I look up and a big boss was sprinting towards Sneaky Pete (DSD jake). After all the fumbling around and trying to find arrows and a release he saw something he didn't like after wing slapping the decoy. He ran out to about 30 yards and I let the bullhead fly but barely missed him. I thought I sliced his neck but I didn't. Zach then let one fly and came up a little short.

The rest of the day was a hen party with longbeards.

Talk about a cold day. I am chilled to the bone.
