I got my tail whipped in mississippi. That's very hard to say, but I did. Took 5 days to find a bird that I could get on. Spent the next 3 days playing tag with him in a maze of small ridges, twisting creeks and swampy bottoms. He had one hen that he was with every day and all he really did was strut. I had the safety off on him each of those 3 days and could have killed him once but I just can't bring myself to shoot as far as my gun is capable of killing one. He wasn't even a espically smart bird. Basically he survived on luck and the whims of the hen he followed. Smarter than me I guess. Lol. I shouldn't have got hung up on one bird but with so little gobbling, I had to stay with him. Had one other bird that was on a suicide mission but a hen walked into my lap and freaked out. The end.
We shall see how these birds act in the next 2 days here in KY. Bad flooding going on here and I'm not sure what land I can access. KYgobbler, I hope your youth hunt goes great. We saw a pile of strutters coming thru KY today. Good luck.

Well no luck this afternoon. We did get to play with one gobbler but couldn't call him away from the hens. We tried circling around but lost the group.

While putting out eggs this morning I did hear a gobbler close to the house. First time I have heard birds in the woods here.

Both the girls killed gooduns in kentucky with the muzzleloader. I'll put some pics up soon as I figure out how to resize them. My oldest girl killed a hoss. 23.5 lbs and 1 3/8" spurs. Eastons was a beautiful 1" spurred bird.

My girls finally let me go hunting. Killed a average bird. 22lbs, 10" beard, 1" spurs. I got all the pics and measurements but I'm sure that I'll find 2 better. Do I still enter the bird or just wait???

Sounds good. It's a major pain for me to get pics posted. May require assistance when the time comes.

Well, I finally figured out how to get the pics to resize right. If it matters, I have a couple more birds if we want to get a team total.
