Spent 4 days in P.C. and came home with no bird but a lot of fun, good fishing and great eating.
Friday was the best action day. Had a Tom hammerin hard from 5:30 till 6:00am on the roost and a few minutes after he hit the groung. Guess he had company as he went the other way from me and down the hill. I could never get in front of him but he kept gobbleing all the way down. I heard a lot of birds and a few guys in camp got one so all was not lost. Just being able to get out and enjoy what mother nature provides us with is enough to make me happy. We saw a ton of wildlife over 4 days so all was good.
We did find a dead Tom that had not been shot and did not see any sign of a fight on the ground. Something had been eating on his breast but his neck and legs were still limber, so was not dead very long. Seemed very odd to us as to what had happened to this bird.. We took the beard and it was 11 1/2 inches long.
I have one more weekend to bag one, so the hunt is still on.
Congrats to all those that filled their tag.
