    2. The black bear.

    Thanks Jenks. Our hunt on the 17th is what got the ball rolling. That was a great bird in a pretty spot.

    The feathers are just par for the course for Bad Luck Brett. We were struggling out west, and had to hunt turkeys in unconventional ways. Brett failed to make a clean initial kill and after some running and shooting, was attempting to reduce the bird to possession. He has heard to step on them, he just stepped on the wrong end.

    Ian took the bear pic last week. We saw a few of them in the country we were hunting. They were much less dangerous than the hillbilly's.

    Great season Booz. Strong as I've seen in some time!
    I'm going to heaven for the weather and hell for the company.

    Be dangerous, unpredictable, and make a whole lot of noise.

    Congrats dude, you had an awesome season as usual. I don't know how but they look like they get better each year.

    I almost forgot how mad I was that turkey season was over until I looked at this thread, now I remember just how mad I am that it over.

    I have only kept a "journal" one year (2012). I wish I had the discipline. But, I do jot down notes on a pad and keep it in my desk, even though I rarely visit my desk during turkey season.

    My notes from 2014 say that I only sat down on 3 gobbling easterns on the roost that I felt I was in the game with. In 2015 I can't remember but 2 or 3 mornings that I didn't have a dancing partner. Another oddity this year was the mid morning unprompted gobble. I can remember at least 3 cases where a bird gobbled on his own and gobbled enough for us to get positioned where we needed to be prior to making a call. Anyone can bat a high percentage on those. We certainly did.

    All I ask out of a turkey hunt is to feel like I'm engaged. I was engaged more this year than I can ever remember. It was as much fun as I may ever have during a spring.

    So, another thing that yall may find funny is that I come completely and utterly unglued when I'm working birds close (I hope this never changes). I will shake like I'm freezing, tap on a pot call like I'm using morse code, and mumble/whisper to my partner and get pissed when they can't decipher this language. To combat this, I sing songs in my head. It helps a little. My standard go to is "The Man" by Aloe Black. Some past favorites are "the way you move" by Outkast and "Breathe" by Anna Nalick. This year, out of nowhere, "Pencil Thin Mustache" made an appearance. Hey, ride her til she throws you right? I also, if I remember, video the flopping birds as I walk up to them. Enjoy (sorry for the language in the cutover. I really wanted that one)

    Great season Michael. Next year - we best share a tree. I'm counting on it.
