Spent Tuesday in the field (Stevens Co.) looking for birds with the wife. A little different story than the opener when my sons and I were fortunate to kill 4. Rained all day and the birds were barely interested. We did call in one big Tom but he busted us before she could put the bead on him. We did watch 4 Toms go to the roost with several hens. They gobbled for me, but had no interest in playing. We watched them roost and may have been able to make a play on them the next morning, but I had to get back to the grindstone. I am planning to get out this weekend to chase again. I agree with one of the comments that the birds at higher elevation seem to be more active at this point. We'll see....

Good luck to all of you still getting after em.  A lot of us have "hung the musket up" until the Fall seasons kick in.   :hello:
