Ick 30'C forecast........Wish me luck for tomorrow
Last time out nearly froze my butt off now they are calling for 30'C tomorrow . Thermacell prepped going from heater to intended purpose.
Hope to get the job done early before the heat really sets in.
But in any case a bad day afield is always better than a good day at work .
Time in the outdoors is never wasted

So day ended up being the mirror image of my last hunt.
Hoping to make it a quick hunt before the heat came on settled in close to the last roost tree known to me shortly before legal. But to my dismay only a single hen yelped at sunrise. Picked myself up and returned to where I got my first bird this time settled against a the shady side of a big old maple in a position to catch a bit of breeze. This time the thermacel was needed to keep the blanket of mosquitos away. A round 9:00 am thought I heard a distant gobble but my eyes where closed or actually I was napping so wasn't sure if it was real or imagined. Wasn't till 10 that a tom finally started to sound off. Couple of yelps from me had both him and a hen respond back to me. fortunately I was between them and the trail through the bush provide a path of least resistance towards me. Still took him an hour to get to me gobbling all the way.
Good end to the season
