While we didn't get a big tom over the weekend, we did have a great time. Heard some gobbles early Saturday morning but never saw them. Later in the morning we heard big gobbles to our left and spotted a bachelor group of three toms in the woods. We were in a ground blind with decoys set in the field. We thought about exiting the blind and going after the toms but they began strutting in the woods and I knew they would have seen us if we tried to get out. So we did some calling but they never did come our way. They wandered behind us and disappeared over a ridge. We went their way but never saw or heard from them again. Didn't have a bit of action Sunday with the high wind. But hey, it's okay, Brennan and I spent alot of time together with friends and enjoyed every minute of it.
We won't be making it out on opening weekend either. We'll be in Florida for spring break. But we already have plans to head back to the farm over the second weekend which happens to be Easter. B's got that Friday off so it will give us an extra day to hunt.
torrent - I've sent a note to the DOD to check with you and the KY hunting schedule before scheduling drill weekends for 2012 and beyond. We'll see if that helps.
