They had me pinned down from all sides before the Tom came in..... and finally identified me as the old fat man that I am.
That was one lucky tom
Good luck folks!

I'm not sure the forum decorum would allow for it.

Were you wearing your favorite pants?
LOL...... after more than 20 years and nearly 200 patches I had to retire them. Man, I killed a lot of stuff in those pants.

Had a nice gobbler fly down at first light into my meadow about 100 yards away. He could see my dekes and probably gobbled 70 times but he would not come in.
Several hours later another Tom walked by but he was totally disinterested in what I was selling. He didn't even look attracted to the fake ladies giving him the "come hither" putt and cluck.
Tough weekend for me.
I'd grown used to coming home with birds on the openerm
Now I have to go back. 8)

My spring opener highlight was a mountain chickadee landing on my shotgun barrel.
It perched on the ventilated rib, looked around, hopped a little closer to me, and took off.

I'm not sure I want to see Dan-o hunting without pants.

Sunday was tough, too.Sounds like my entire year last year.

Lots of birds, lots of gobbling and strutting, but no good shot.
I'm going again though.

You didn't want to see him in those old pants either. His stitching on all those patches was suspect. It's good that he retired them.

How do you think the ghillie suit was created?
And I do miss those pants.......

Gee, if he was in ur dekes then he was well within range and if he was strutting then swing on him and kill him, unless your the slowest fatest old man in the woods he'd be dead the second a few hens putt and his fan comes down

I thought about it......
But if you knew how slow an old dude I really am you'd know how bad my chances were! :hello:

Clearly, Dan-o was pinned down without his pants. He didn't want to jump up half naked and spook the birds. Turkey hunting without pants changes the whole game.
That and I didn't want to permanently scar the rest of the turkey flock. :yike: :yike: :yike: :yike: :yike:
