Ravin R10 man Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 Wis. opener was moved back a week this year, so Wed. was first day of the first season. Been REALLY busy on logging job, so i was going to just hunt Sat & Sun. Put in 4 12's, and just worked 8hrs today by noon. By the time I got gas and fuel, stopped by NCI shop for oil and a few things, I got home and went right to blind. Got in at 2.30, got my decoys set up and hunkered down and called a bit. Heard one in a distance, answered a time or two, and wasnt long they were coming. I seen them coming out of the Balsams and I hit the slate call, they all just HAMMERED back! They saw my Pretty Boy and hen, and came on the run!! I picked out one and dropped him on the spot! 9.5" beard 1&1.4 spurs. did not weigh him, but figured he was in the 25# range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
