Osceola Opening 2010 couple pics

[metsastaja]

Four thirty comes very early but hey it’s opening day.  Temperature in the trailer is a balmy 39 degrees and outside it’s a brisk 33.  Coffees on and the 50 gallon barrel is slowly percolating heat out into the screened in building.  Every one else must be sleeping in till 5. Perhaps they may post some thing later

Sure glad I did my set up yesterday. Recurve, chair decoys  all just sitting there waiting for my arrival all I need is my backpack and large thermos of coffee. Will be an easy drive and then walk into the edge of the cypress.

Here is the layout.

 
No where is it written you can't be comfortable

Guru thanks on that advice of getting the 12x camera. Makes a big difference. Oh your wing bone call. Very impressive in person and 'Sweet" is the music it can make.

I think I hear a turkey yelp,

Like Biggie says not allowed to. However this is the same location.
 
Scratch, scratch yelp yelp and I can see a group of hens coming in.  Big deal hens guess I'll grab the camera not the bow.

In hind site was a perhaps a mistake. I will get the video up a little later and you all can let me know what you would have done.

I got carried away Biggie .... good luck to you all, our turkey season is five weeks away      

[Biggie Hoffman]

No worries Ken, that's why I can only post two of my turkey kills on here 8-)

[metsastaja]

Here are some videos of the hens coming in and passing the blind.  Watch the last one carefully.  Is it a bearded hen or do I need to get my glasses checked?
