it's over
« on: May 24, 2010, 09:46:35 AM »
hello all. i'm done and the reality of going back to work has set in. did not get to hunt as much this spring only ohio and new york. hunted with many different folks and the birds were pretty good to us. i had 8 birds killed the first 11 days of ohio's season. managed to harvest 3 more before it was over and was able to hunt myself a few days. i did manage to harvest my own 2 turkeys in ohio which many times i never get to do but honestly i would rather take someone any day than to hunt by myself.
found the last week in ohio to be tough. not much gobbling on the roost or later in the day. we then went to new york on the 16th of may and found the same thing there. never heard a bird on day one and heard one bird gobble one time at a 1/2 mile the next day. that afternoon it rained and when we scouted some fields that evening there were prenty of gobblers in the spots we were hunting just had a case of the shut mouthed. the last morning i managed to get one killed so that ended my spring hunting.
  now the long hot summer and counting the days till oct. when i can take my dogs and go to the woods.

Marlin,

Looks like you had another fine spring in the turkey woods. Congrats on getting so many folks on birds and actually filling your own tags.

Marlin what a great season for you!!!  It was over way too quick for me too....  but toward the end I really was wishing fall was here!  I think I'm starting to enjoy fall hunting more than Spring.

Porter,

   I already do enjoy fall wayyyyyyyyyy more then spring hunting......

   The smell of the fall w/ the leaves changing colors & coming down. The bucks chasing the does around....Sightings of Black bears foraging hard for the pending winter.....Fall flocks, & oh yea, the wonderful turkey music following a flock break up..... *bannana*

   It will be here before we know it......... *dance* *dance*

because i ended my season in new york i was with my buddy pete clare. before dinner one night i told him it was only 5 months till the real turkey season started. that became the standing joke between us for the remainder of the hunt. plus i have a new turkey dog puppy coming in july. my wife and i are in the "name the pup" arguing stage at the present time. my vote is "cutter". 20 years ago pete clare got his first dog from john byrne and it's name was cutter. we thought it was time to resurrect the name because the first cutter was such a great dog. anyway counting the days.
