MUDRUNNER Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 You know the drill..... After school today Emma has softball practice. The wife & I will probably do our grocery shopping tonight. Tomorrow youth turkey season opens up. Evan got a tag, but the weather looks terrible for tomorrow morning. I think we'll sleep in and head to the farm in the afternoon, start a nice bonfire & camp, and try it out Sunday morning. It looks like lows in the 20's and highs in the 40's for Sunday but we'll see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DowninWhiteys Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 My nephew has a trap shoot tomorrow I'm planning on going to and then for the rest of the day I'm on my own. Sunday my brother and I will be back to work, as we are flooring subcontractors and we have a large remodel project to be getting after. Hopefully one of these weekends in the near future, we can get up to our hunting ground to do some hiking around. We haven't been there since mid-January at the end of our late deer season . With all the snow cold and bad weather we've had in the interim there has been no desire really to get out into the woods . The cabin fever in the last couple of weeks really has set in and I know we're anxious to get out and stretch our legs a little bit . Pretty soon we're going to have some morel mushrooms starting to show up too. Love to cook up a batch of those they're mighty tasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DowninWhiteys Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 I guess I should add another reason that we haven't been able to get to our hunting area, is it within the last couple of weeks with all the flooding we've had is damaged a lot of Roads that take us to our particular spot. A lot of the highways are slowly reopening. So we will probably have to make some detours along the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 Good luck to Evan. Just had a round of thunderstorms with gulleywashers come through, get much more tomorrow and critters might be pushed to higher ground, hmmm...... Our regular turkey season opens here tomorrow and looking like the weather is not gonna be too nice here either. Windy and stormy. That being said, if it is nasty in the morning like it is supposed to be, I might just get out right after it breaks if it does, and see if I might get lucky with a longbeard in a foodplot. Snakes are very active here right now, walked up on a couple cottonmouths ready to strike last weekend, luckily saw them before getting too close. Wife has nursery duty at church, gonna predict everything outside will still be too wet to do much outside Sunday but might get out walking and look for some sheds.

Adjam5 Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 Hey guys... Looking forward to April. Good bye March. The Robins are back...3 solid days of weather above freezing and now rain for the weekend. I am still seeing bucks with head gear! About 8am I get a good group coming through the yard and I saw a wide 6 still with a rack. Amazing. Have a Friends of the NRA dinner coming up on the 7th. I am a committee man there and dinner is sold out. On the 13th I am doing a adaptive archery shoot at a Rehab hospital in my area. Then I am leaving for Texas on the 16th for a week to chase some Rios and take a look at some model homes from a builder we like. Getting a fence estimate and a well estimate for the Picarosa South. Good luck Turkey hunters and hunt safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 Got robins in yard as I type, but then, i had Robins in the yard back in -20 in Feb.

Shaun_300 Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 Not up to much here, pretty sloppy out at the moment. Had snow this morning then changed to rain, changing back to snow and freezing rain overnight. Hopefully this is the last of winter. Snow is melting away, flooding hasn't been too bad yet thankfully but looks like a fair bit of rain is on its way this week with a high of 50 on Wednesday.

elkoholic Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 I've been out scouting for turkeys most of the morning and with only 2 weeks til the opener they all seem to be held up on private property where they are getting fed. Still a lot of snow on the ground and where it is melted there is a couple inches of "soup" on top of frost, which makes for treacherous walking. With spring bear season opening a couple of days after the turkey opener I have yet to see any tracks or signs of any, but there are reports of sightings. Need to get the studded snow tires off my one rig and the chains and plow off the atv. I'll keep the studded snows on the truck until the forest roads are clear of snow, which is probably a couple of months away. Spotted a couple of bees so it's time to set out some bee traps. I've found that if I get the traps out early and catch the queens, then that really cuts down on the bee/hornet population later in the summer. Looking forward to April and chance to play more outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultradog Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 I bought the lumber to build some shelving in the new garage yesterday. Am slowly getting it organized. Will order the siding for the exterior this week. My 83 yo pal Kenny wants to give me a big Miller wire feed welder if he can use it now and then. He brought the phase converter for it over yesterday. I will start wiring that in today. Me and the Mrs. went to the big fish dinner at the Catholic church on Friday night. We do that every year during Lent. I love to go to that. Last night we made a big venison/pork meatloaf. Got leftovers now. Mmm mmm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted April 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 Well no turkey for my boy. It ended up raining all day Saturday & into the evening, so we didn't even go up Saturday. Creeks were out, roads were flooded, just a sloppy mess. Went up early Sunday & spent some time in the blind. It was 24 degrees with a northwest breeze....felt more like November than March. We heard one bird gobble a few times at first light about a half mile away, and that was it. Seen a few hens so not a total bust. Hopefully we can give it another try next weekend.
