One more day left here.
So far as I know the harvest around our property was just the two I tagged. So next spring should be banner as well.

We have 2 weeks of spring squirrel season starting next saturday. I hope to get out at least one or two days and get some tree rats for the grill. Otherwise, it's a short 5 months until early muzzleloader season and I have a new Knight Mountaineer to work on. Right now is a good time to be on the outdoor range before the humidity hits like a freight train in mid June.
Right now, there are lots of guns and ammo coming back into stock. I am getting notices from online retailers daily for ammo - the previously hard to find kind. So now is the time to stock up.
But as Pullit said, the yard is calling, too. I had the entire exterior of my house remodeled over the last two monmths and a new sewer system installed and the grass is a disaster. Excavators, and pallets of siding sitting on the grass for 60 days, aren't friendly to laws. After every rain I have to cart more fill dirt to fill in around the sewage basin and line because no matter how much you run the compator over it, rain makes it settle more. Just now getting to where I think it is settling as much as it will.

You'd be better off taking up fishing....because you sure ain't no good at hunting.
On second thought I bet video games would be a better fit.

P.S. Go re-read the "turkey on the porch" post.
It's not my porch. It's not within 3 miles of my porch.
Sorry..............

Dean, Put one more in the freezer yesterday. Glorious morning and a really fun hunt - probably the most vocal bird I've ever brought to bag.

Top pic is just about perfect.
I didn’t get one this year as my corner of Iowa took on the “AK weather rule” of maybe half the days were huntable due to conditions (IMO). High winds and or rain — I’m past the point of having the sorrows out weigh the joys.
But, had one big boy who learned his lessons on public land well do a 270* circle around me and the decoy before concluding, “nope, I’m not buying it”.
Second big Tom I had unexpectedly in at 25 yds hard to my left, in the open. I’m left-handed and had my barrel pointed to the hard right. Didn’t even attempt it.
Enjoyed it all just as much.
