    Dan and I put out the Coverts Sunday morning in the bottom of a big ravine in hopes of getting a double! Should be a good spot! Can’t wait!!

    Hopefully the snow doesn’t collapse the blinds.

    Does it look familiar Dannir? It’s in the valley just below where you shot your tom a couple years back on Joe’s place. Right below where you found that shed.

    Looking good! Good luck! I hope a big tom doesn’t end up strutting inbetween the blinds.

    I’ll be going after them with the stick and string and Dan will hopefully follow it up with the fire stick. (Hopefully on a 2nd bird) Well, that’s the plan anyhow!

    Wow! I am impressed Pat that you recognized that area for only being there one time. Yep, hope the birds cooperate this week and that all the blinds are still intact for the morning hunt. If we get the snow they are predicting, this will be a first for us with this much snow. Should be interesting to say the least. Could make for some great video.

    Still nothing here…I’m hoping the roads will be decent for pulling the camper! Blinds will be fine…they are out of the wind in that hollow and the snow won’t hurt them!

    That’s a great question Dan and one I really don’t know because I’ve never had to hunt in these conditions. Our resident turkey expert Joel might be able to answer that one or one of our members with more knowledge than me! I will however give you a report once we are out in this crap tomorrow am! Still, hunting in this weather will be better than working in the office!

    My friend was out this morning in WI and had 2 toms come right off the roost together into the field in the snow and start strutting. He was done at 6:15.

    EDIT: He was actually sitting in an opening in the woods.
