This is getting monotonous! Today was basically a repeat of the Tuesday. My wife and I set up in a pasture on a farm by the house where I know some birds are feeding. I heard some birds fly down off the roost, then it got quiet. I tried some occasional light calling, but was getting no response. At about 8:45 I looked out the back of the blind and could see a tom and a few hens on the farm across the road. Of course, he was pretty content where he was at and I couldn't do anything with them. Regardless, it was a beautiful morning spent with my wife. I just hope I can get her on a bird, so she can see the REAL excitement of turkey hunting.
On a brighter note, two of the other Team Poor Boys members laid the smackdown on a couple of turkeys this morning. The second bird they actually worked for over 2 hours before he finally broke and came in. So, at least some of us are on the boards now. I'll be back at it again tomorrow morning, and I am thinking seriously about breaking out the shotgun and leaving the bow and blind at the house. Its time to get at least one bird on the ground!!! Stay tuned.
