Got my blood pumpin'!!

[CornPirateKiller]

Left the house this morning and stood in my driveway as the sun was turning the Eastern sky lighter. I was throwing the ball for my lab a few times before I headed off to work and enjoying the crisp Spring morning. I live on the edge of a small town near Rochester. Across the street from my driveway, and behind my neighbor's house, about 150 yards away, is a cemetary, filled with huge trees. Behind the cemetary is a river valley. The turkeys like to roost in the cemetary and as I was tossing the ball for my dog, I thought I heard a gobble.

Quickly, I grabbed my box call and let off a series of yelps. In seconds, I was answered by four gobblers in the cemetary and they were echoed by at least three more down in the river valley. Whooooeeee!!! The adrenaline level rose and my heart started thumping in my chest. What an awesome sound! I talked to those gobblers for about ten minutes while my dog sat listening excitedly. He figured we were going to go after them, I guess.

I wish I could have talked to them longer but I had to get going. It's going to be a long wait until season G when I get to chase them for real!

I'm right there with you man! I'm chompin' at the bit somethin' awful, waiting for F 4/9-13 for my wife and G for me. If the people from the state mental medical facility don't misinterpret my turkey-induced frenzy and grab me first, I'll be ALL RIGHT!!
BEst of Luck!
