Well my mom got to come home from the hospital on friday, well my wife told us that she would stay with my mom if we wanted to hunt. Well Saturday we went in well before daylight and set up. It wasn't long before we could hear one drumming over the hill right below us, well after he gobbled probably 50 times he flew down over the bank. I called a little and it wasn't long before he popped up into the field looking right at us but as soon as he saw the decoys he broke into a strut. I let him get almost up to the decoys and I put my first bird of the year down by 7:04. He had a 9.5 in beard 1in spurs and weighted 22pound 13ounces and was my first bird with my little single shot 20ga but this one made the 3rd bird taken with it this year. Well Sunday we had a great hunt but didn't get a bird but we did find 169 morel mushrooms,  so tonight for supper we are having turkey and mushrooms, sorry for this being so long but I feel very blessed to have such a great wife and family that makes times like these possible,  Once again thanks for the prayers

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.
