I actually do have one this year Joel. I’m going to try my best to put down the fishing rod and arrow one this year! It just might be one of your pets as well! No hard feelings.
Sauger Turkey season is only 5 days long better shoot it on the 1st day so you have the rest of the week to find it

I’ve already locked down permission on that farm for turkeys. Besides, what’s one more pet of mine you’ve killed?
Thats perfect!!! Now I can just sit in your blind!
Blind needs to be big enough for 3 of us….

WOW Gut!! I would have never expected a remark like that from you! As long as they can’t swim I should be in good shape!
Sorry you guys had Joel outnumbered 
With the new baby I hope you get to hunt and fish a little 
Last time I checked they cant swim but the water is cold wading after them

to scout more and hunt my farm instead of friends farm, when the birds are on my farm 
Quote:
Promise not to yell at my old man when a bird is coming in and he can’t hear it or see it and I tell him turn “SLOW” to the left ,he coming from that way and be ready . Then he moves fast/makes noise and the bird runs off
Sounds like we could be related Sounds just like my old man (83yrs old in April)
Next time I get to hunt (the drawing hates me) I will not get caught smashing wood ticks on the grip of my gun. Nelson got pretty mad about that; something about a Tom strutting around while I was smashing woodticks?
Oh and I will bring my bullets with on the long hikes, and I will not get scared and run away when a pheasant sneaks up on my at o’ dark thirty nor will I point at the turkey strutting in the tree as he looks down at me. My guess is I will also need a new guide as my old one most likely will turn down my request.
I’ll still take you hunting! You’ve learned (and done) all of the stupid things so that’s outta your system right?
Joel
I will not force any situation in the blind and I will go with what I have learned from scouting and previos years of patterning. I might also want to learn how to shoot Three years after the same tom and I won’t walk away without him over my shoulder.

That’s one of my favorite stories!
I’m going to do a better job with my decoys. 2 years ago I blew it and had the decoys set in a bad spot and got busted. That wont happen this year.
Nelson, your goal should be that next time you take Jonny hunting you have to video the entire debacle for all of us to see!
My goals:
Don’t get the itchy trigger finger, misjudge distances, maintain my patience, but mix up the hunt a little more aggressively when necessary. I rarely go after the birds (because most of the time I don’t have to) but I should try it more.
Don’t be fooled Nelson learned a bunch on our outing also.
He learned:
1) You can sneak/run massive turkey flocks down on foot (I didn’t know that was bad, he should have stopped me)
2) The true power of using a BPS steel special long barrel 10 gauge goose gun for turkey
3) Just how effective a good boonie hat can be to conceal head turning
4) Guys from up north are scared of Pheasants
5)Not to leave your custom strikers laying around when Jonny big foot is steppin’
6) You can not see the bottom of a Double Bull window in front of a big 10 gauge
7) Guys that live in the northern swamp do not do well with southern hills
