A late CONGRATS on this one, man! I actually got confused about this one. I must have jumbled your hunts from the first two days together when I redacted your quote to make you sound like a creeper on my reply. I see it now.
Before:
I scored opening day on Monday. One of the most boring hunts, but a heck of a bird!
Took the farmers daughter (that sounds so weird) today and had a jake sneak up on us. Scared me to death. Saw a nice strutter, but just couldn't close the deal.
Going back there tomorrow and hope to get her a bird called in again!

Either that, or else I'm just losing track of the days. I probably need to get more sleep, which I never do in April.
One thing I learned is... you cannot shoot them while in bed!
I say it all the time! This is my post on Facebook from the woods when I killed one on 4/6 and it rained from daylight until about 10:30, or so: “We don’t always get those 80-degree/sunny/still days. Sometimes, we have to fight them in the rain. You can’t kill them if you’re not out there!”
Nice start to it, Mike! Now get out there and take another one!
