Hey, leave my poor Alabama birds alone! I haven't even been able to hit the woods yet in April!

But seriously, I just went to the TCC page to find me a butternut call,

. Still trying to decide which one . . .
On a completely unrelated note, I've tried to get up and go the last two mornings to a place nearby that rarely gets hunted (other than by poachers). I keep telling myself that if my uncle can still get up and drive an hour to the swamp and still make it back for a 9:00 meeting, I can make it to this place 30-minutes away and to work by 9:00. However, I have yet to prove that assertion. I've never killed anything there, but the first time I went out there was towards the end of last season, and I did hear some gobblers + a hen tried to jump in the blind with me. It needs a lot of work (thick thick thick), but maybe I'll be the first of the family to kill one out on that plot, if I can ever muster up the energy for a weekday hunt.
