I did some scouting this week and was undecided which birds to hunt until the morning before the hunt. Most birds are still in huge flocks and holding tight to cattle feeding operations. The group of birds I plan to hunt has split into 4 smaller groups that are roosting all along the hillside above a cattle ranch. There's an old road that the birds like to walk down off the hill, my plan for opening morning is to sit in a blind where I think most of the birds are going to pass in the morning, hopefully it's a good plan, in a few hours we'll know?

Reagan and Harold arrived while I was out scouting in the evening. We also have another young man in camp for the hunt tomorrow. We all had tacos for dinner, swapped some cell phone photos and told lots of tall stories, then Reagan opened her packages from the Hunting-Washington members who have donated to the youth hunt, (the money is being put toward a new gun for Reagan to hunt with). Everyone headed to bed, we need to be up at 4:15 so I'm heading to bed too.

Thanks again to the members who donate to make this hunt package so awesome! 

Here's a few photos from the day before the hunt, hopefully we'll get more photos tomorrow!

Reagan just dropped her first Turkey, we are sitting tight for a while to see if others come by.

Just realized Dale was posting some of this at 1 am this morning!  The life of a guide....never sleeps.  Dale put us in the middle of the birds, more than I've ever heard in one spot.  Thankful and blessed!

Four Jake's just walked within 5 feet of us, Reagan opted to pass them, we are sitting tight, we hear gobblers all around us and had several pass just out of range. One Tom has a real good looking rope hanging, fingers crossed that he comes back. 

Sorry no photos yet, we don't dare move.
