Title: Lots a gobblin
Post by: Intruder on April 21, 2010, 03:27:36 PM: Best opener ever for me. Played guide to a bunch of friends over the first 4 day but still manged to kill 2 birds myself.... one a double bearded bugger. Grand total over the 4 days:
- 9 gobblers and 6 jakes called in
- 5 gobblers killed
- 1 jake killed
- 1 gobbler missed

Hunted several different spots in 2 counties.... never took more than 2 birds off 1 spot.

While in the grand scheme of things it probably doesn't make a big difference, it's just something that I've adopted... especially early in the season on the young birds. The 2 time we did take 2 it was 2 hunters each taking a bird when multiple birds came in. I kinda think they should only allow 1 bird a day per hunter myself..... just my :twocents:. I do think a lot of jakes get whacked by allowing that. Again, probably not a big deal, more a personal preference. Definitely not looking down my nose on those who do or have done that. Have seen it happen unintentionally too.
