I got out to hit the turkey woods near Martinsville one last time this morning with a good friend. The mosquitoes were so thick that I choked 3 times on the critters before we ever got to the blind. I have never seen them sooo thick sooo early.

I'm done reading, researching, and asking about Thermacells. Real simple - I'm just gonna buy one!

We never heard or saw a single bird this morning which made me fell VERY GRATEFUL that I had an opportunity to harvest a nice Tom a week ago. However, I feel bad that I wasn't able to help my buddy harvest a bird. And I am sorry for those on this site that have had a similar experience. This morning reminded me how tough the turkeys have been this year.

About 9:30, after traversing the hills and hoolers, my buddy and I said ta heck with it and headed downtown to Forkey's for some coffee and a good breakfast buffet!

I wish the best to anyone heading back out tomorrow!

Good luck tomorrow Larry, going out one last go with my friend Ken tomorrow to try and get a bird for him. I taped him getting his first bird last year, within 30 minutes of hunting and it spoiled him. He's learning this year how tough turkeys can and are to hunt

Larry,

I too feel very blessed to just be able to get out and hunt. There are lots of folks that would dearly love to do it but for some reason cant. Sharing it with a good friend is icing on the cake.

I'm approaching 72 pretty rapidly so I do thank God that I still have the health and physical stamina to get out and hunt. I know in the not too distant future I'll have to hang it up, but until then I'll enjoy every hunting minute that God grants me..

My buddy and I were having this same conversation on the way out of the woods this morning. No bird for either of us but having the opportunities that we have had over the years have truly been a blessing. Nothing to complain about at all. So many people will never experience the things that we have.
