Shot this 21lb 3 or possibly 4 yr old last fri in NY.

Best part is thats me after 8 days of hard hunting. Getting up at 3 everyday.
my friend say I look dead.
I had a few buddies come up this year only for the weekend and on day 2 they said you do this for 9 days strait.
they were done on day 2.

You got that right. I would do all 30 days if life would allow it.

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.

Congrats.  He's a nice one.

It is a lot of early mornings.  It almost makes you question your sanity after a while.  Basically for the whole month of May, if I'm not tagged out, I'm up at either 3:45 for hunting or 5:30 for work.  It's sad when 5:30 feels like sleeping in.

Funny, I get up for work at 4:30 as well and that's usually a kick in the pants
but my first day back is like a day off. I hunt with my dad and brother and after a week or so we get what we call the blind stares
were you are awake but your brain doesn't know it. Well one day after a 10 day turkey week
I was driving home and there was a dodge Durango in the medium.or rt 17 on its roof and a guy
in full camo standing next to it with this puzzled look on his face like WTF just happened. We looked at each other and said."blind stares" . Gotta be a turkey hunter. At least the guy was alright.
