As seasons end what is next

Many of us have watched our seasons come and go. For some it's been a cornucopia of dead gobblers for others it been a scratch and claw season. Some years you seem to find every suicidal gobbler in the USA and some years you find every wise stubborn gobbler that ever lived. I had one of those "stupid Seasons" if it was unforeseeably stupid it happened to me. Some of it was my fault and some of it was not, but in the end it was a stupid suicidal bird that closed my season. I was fortunate enough to fill two of three tags for two states and was around a lot of birds. I can't complain at all.

So what's next on everyone's calendars and to do list. All my elective time will be spent one of two places; at the fishing hole or in one of our gardens ( we have three). Other than watching for young broods turkeys will not be on my radar again until October. I will be back in full gear come October in both Ohio and Kentucky. I love my fall hunting and I actually think I hunt more and harder in the fall then in the spring. Post what the rest of your summer will be and what is your next most anticipated season....

I have one week left here in WI. I have went 3/3 so far with one tag remaining. As always I will miss it but the bugs are starting to get bad and it is awfully green. I will walleye fish for about 6 weeks and then start putting stands up for bow deer season.

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.

No season for me between my foot and what is going on with my GF but I am hoping to get some fishing in this year. I catch and release, nothing against cooking them, my hands just hurt to much to clean them so I throw them back in for somebody else. Same reason I have been photographing turkey more than shooting them when I have had the chance the last couple of years. If I can get out to do some photography I will try to do that as well but I don't think things will let me get out to do either this year, but there are other years. Have fun everyone. Edit: Sorry, Fall turkey is the season I am most hoping for this year, after that coyote season with the dogs and trapping.

Reading, posting and aggravating others on Old Gobbler. Buying and playing calls ... gardening, grilling and making homemade ice cream. Getting ready for deer season at some point...

Catching up on house duties, plenty of fishing ahead. Could be bream, bass, trout, redfish, sharks something off the beach or in the gulf.  Couple weeks we will start prepping our dove fields n plant those in July.  September begins deer planting.  Gotta survive  hurricane season 1st. Gotta keep my daughter shooting, she wants to try and kill a deer this season so that's on me to get her range time.

I have one last Hooray, start driving Thursday for a couple days hunting in Maine.

I have run into those suicidal turkeys this year for sure. I literally was thinking a couple hours ago how I haven't went through my turkey hunting snacks. It's been mostly short days hunting!

Gardening, which I suck at! Normal work schedule, house work, lawn work. Normal life stuff.

Yesterday and today were the first days I haven't had an alarm set since 4/13. Early alarms. It has been awesome.

Yesterday I actually even went and visited my 83 year old mother. She has been Covid crazy from the start so I haven't seen her for several years.

Like I said in an earlier post a month ago. "I AM HAPPY when it's over for the year!"

I fished a few days last week after my season had ended and caught a few but last Friday I caught more than I ever had in my life, almost ever cast and good ones. We left for our season ending beach trip last weekend but I hope those fish haven't moved too much because I will back after them tomorrow!

Moved on to flatheads and such. I'll gig some frogs and hunt mushrooms as summer comes on. Work in the garden. Start fooling with deer setups. Stay fooling with yelpers.

Oh, the frog giging, I almost forgot. It's only a month away!
