Huxbux was kind enough to invite me to hunt and camp with them in the HNF. He introduced me to his friend Steve and a couple local people named Tonya and Mark. They allowed us to camp at their home and were very nice folk. They Bar B Qed one night and had a fish fry the next. Great people! Opening day Hux and I heard a lot of gobbling but couldn't get close to a tom. I learned that a turkey will always walk upon you during your afternoon siesta....... . Steve hunted across the road from us and killed a nice tom around 1PM. It was 19 lbs, 8" beard and 29mm spurs. Tuesday it rained at daylight until 9:00AM and then the sun pop out. I heard 2 gobbles all day. I had two hens in range but no toms. Hux didn't see any turkeys at all. Friday it started raining at 2AM and I packed up and left in the morning due to all the rain fore-casted for this weekend. I want to thank Huxbux and his friends for treating me like one of their own and taking me on a very fun hunt. h.h. PS. Anyone interested in hunting Brown County better be in shape and have a good pair of hiking shoes.........

Great to hunt with you h.h. Hope you come down and try it again, you're welcome anytime. Steves bird. 19 lbs, 29mm spurs. I've forgotten the beard length but it was a paintbrush. An interesting story on this one. Steve found a deteriorating spur embedded in the breast of this tom.

Sounds like it was a good time. I'd like to get over there and hunt those "mountains" sometime. Congrats to Steve on a nice bird and an extra spur!
