I knew I wouldn’t be able to stay in the woods long today. I had an appointment with a fellow for driveway work; had to take a mower for repairs and, mostly, I needed to get a tire repaired on my vehicle. At 3:45 this morning, I was putting air in my tire. It was flat! (Later found out that I picked up a nail.)
I made a perch where I had seen the turkeys on Saturday morning. In the lightening woods I noticed my deer friend again. She didn’t see me this time. I heard three gobblers across the road and nothing on my side. The gobbling was sparce and few. I, later, saw two turkeys in a pasture field and bumped one off the ridgeline while exiting the woods. I was done hunting at 7:30 for the reasons mentioned above. The day soon became a rainy one.
From a turkey hunting view, I don’t believe I will get much in this week. The contractor hopes to start on the drive on Wednesday. When the initial plans were made, he spoke of June for the beginning of the work. Also, Laurie and my mother-in-law are headed for a visit of my wife’s aunt on Thursday. They are, also, going to Statten Island by bus. My mother-in-law was raised there and hasn’t been back since 1980. I will need to be around in the morning for Susie’s insulin shots unless the vet says an earlier shot would be possible without harm.
