Looks promising for the last morning in my turkey season. We put two big fellas to bed tonight and I'll set up within 75 yards in the morning for my second bird for the frezer, at least I hope.

Good luck to all in filling those remaining tags.

Good luck. Find it works best to not pluck 'em before shooting them, though.

No trurer statement was ever made!

Long story short it was a great morning.

Three deer in the first half hour that looked around had a bite to eat and left.
Called a hen out of the hardwoods and into the decoys on slate.
She was followed by a jake, I did not shoot as I am waiting for the two big fellas. They spend a half hour in the decoys and proceed into the meadow for some grub.
More deer now enter the meadow as well, 2 bucks followed and 3 more does. Now I am watching two turkeys and five deer. Time for some camera action I am thinking, but now it is time for a new camera because it will not work.

Meadow clears and at 9:30 yet another doe wonders in until the neighbors 4 wheeler rolls in. Oh well hunts over until fall I guess. Still a great morning and season none the less.

Just on more thing to add. This is the first season I have hunted out of a popup blind. I got one with the scent block built in. Well if what happened yesterday morning is any sign, then I am sold. The wind was directly in my back and right into all the deer's noses. Not even a look out of them at 50 yards.
Should be fun this fall, all these deer remind me of hunting in Michigan years ago and having a half dozen deer in your bait pile at a time.
