Headed down about noon. Bit of worry just because my last out of state hunt ended in disaster. Still have high hopes of a good outcome. I'll keep everyone posted.

Did he make it there yet? I would sure hope so since he said he was leaving around noon on the 17th. |

Well, I’ve met him twice, rabbit hunted with him one of those times, but don’t know him that well.

I bet his excuse for no rabbits was something like....well you see it was the 3rd Sunday after the 1st new moon of the year. Coupled with the barometric pressure of hydrostatic coefficient the scent particles of the rabbits is mixing with the relative density of the rattlesnake juice. Almost impossible for a beagle to run rabbits under those conditions |

I’ve never met Span870 but I did get to break bread and socialize with his dad a couple times at an H-I get together. If he is anything like his dad then he is a good man.

Yeah but he was a goose killing mo-cheen. His boy...used to let dogs chase rabbits. He used to hunt big deers, he claims to be a decent turkey hunter. One thing he isn't is a goose Killen |

Got down to the property on Monday. Knew immediately I was screwed. Hunted it to 2 days. Not a single bird, track, feather, or gobble. After looking at the pictures the guy sent me I realized they weren't from the property. Pictures showed a cut crop field and the property was a pine plantation. Called the guy on it but we swore that he sees birds all the time. Yeah okay.
Decided to try the national forest down there. 2 more days of hunting and not a bird to be heard or single track. Decided to change areas and driving down a forest road what I thought was a simple puddle turned into a 3 foot deep hole. Sank the drivers side front down to frame. After a 4 mile walk out finally found a local store and called a tow truck. $450 to get pulled out. Had one last thought of trying. Moved to another area of the forest and fish and wildlife Decided that opening week of turkey was a great time to decide to burn the whole forest down with prescribed burns. Turned the truck north and headed home.
Moral of the story, when it comes to money or hunting and especially money and hunting, trust no one.
