Got A Text....

[Tominator]

As I was driving to work this morning, I got a text at 6:38.

Getting a text that early in the morning is rarely good. They are rare, and usually involve some rant my wife dumps on me about the kids not getting things done, or someone forgot something, or something like that, so to say I got that sick feeling again is an understatement.

So I opened the phone and see that it's from my son. So I figured he was going to ask about being picked up after school, wrong again. His text was "I hear turkeys in the woods across the street, and they're getting closer!"





I texted back "Gobbling?" and he responded with "yeah, that's all he's doing...going crazy..."



Last week I videoed 8 turkeys in my field. 7 hens and one boss gobbler. I think this bird would crowd 20 lbs.

Season opens Monday. Sure would be cool to lay the smackdown on a gobbler in my field.

Right where I told you they would be roosting. You're welcome. Want me to call 'em in for you too?

That's cool Chris. Seems to be more and more birds moving into areas they never were 10-15 years ago. I know we are seeing and hearing more around our house as well.

Thats a lot better of a text than any complaining! You should have some good weather early next week Chris, good luck with drilling that big boy!

good luck Chris... I'm hoping to get one in my backyard as well this year.

That's awesome, Chris! Maybe you can put the smack down on that thunder chicken this year!

Sure! It's the least you could do since I found that tree for you in '07.

I thought we were even after I found that tree for you last fall???
