I hunted on the first Saturday of gobbler season, but didn’t hear a single gobble. The wind was horrible. Busted one bird off the roost while walking in, but I couldn’t tell if it had a beard or not. It was probably a 4-year old tom with 2″ spurs and a 12″ beard. I did watch 3 hens feed in a clearing from about 100 yards away and kept hoping that a gobbler would walk in, but it never happened.

I was going to hunt on Sunday, but the forecast said that the wind was going to be even worse, so I slept in. I plan on heading back out this weekend. Stay tuned …
