Congrats man on a great hunt. That is some tough looking places to hunt.
Thank you Daryl, some say, if you can kill a Bird in these Swamps, you can kill a bird anywhere. There are no 30, 40, or 50 yrd shots here. This Bird came in silent, and at about 50 feet.
Ya have to set with your gun ready in there, no way in heck of knowing, when, or where, or if, they are even there when they are this quiet. I called this Bird Ole goofy Toe Joe,
, His middle Toe, had a Nail like your thumb, then, 2 little Nails sticking up from the outsides like the devils horns imself, must-a stubbed it, when he was a youngun. He was killed with just a few quiet 3 and 4 note yelps on my Burnt field grade calls I posted earlier, and I put the call down, within just a few minutes, he was just standing there, like a ghost had appeared.
Talk of out of state pressure, In the Swamp, there was about 10 of us, 4, from Fl.
In the WMA I hunted and camped Sunday through Thursday, of about 20 campers, 6, were from fla, all others, were from out of state.
I had 5 draws for Spring Turkey, got the 5th draw, a Late hunt, april 23, the reason we were all together in camp, was, NONE of us residents, drew a tag for any of the Wma's, the first two weeks, some of us, did not draw one at all.
So, for all you out of staters, thanks, fer droppin by.
Roger Parks is here this week, hunting the same areas I am. I wish him luck, and look forward to meeting him personally in the next day er two.
Again, good luck to you all this spring, hunt safe, and remeber to take a Kid Hunting.
