naturebob Report post Posted April 28, 2021 Was wondering how opening weekend went in unit 1? I have the tag that starts Friday , coming up Thursday . Have had bad allergies ,had to get a shot the other day. Hope I am better in 2 days .Should just be a fun trip ,but I always pressure myself to tag out. At allmost 65 and now My royal slam done and I have killed many up there over the years I should relax and just enjoy the time. One of my favorite things to do and favorite spot on Earth. I should just be Happy. I am in a tan f150 with a White camper shell if Ya se me stop and say hello . Good luck all.............................BOB! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

naturebob Report post Posted May 7, 2021 Well I got back yesterday. Ended up going to Urgent care Friday in Pinetop got an Anti-Biotic for the crap I had. Saturday Morning I missed a 40 yard shot in the same place I killed my first bird 30 years ago. I hurried it as he was getting ready to leave. My Bad. Had the 20 gauge too. After that I went to the 12 gauge .Played with as many birds as ever, just couldn't get em to come in. Had Gobbles everywhere. Was it my new box call as I lost My30+ year old one in New Mexico last year. Never had that problem before or was it the third hunt and Birds were shy now? I don't know but had lotta fun and action. Then I tweaked my back Friday night ( Its been hurting for 3 weeks) and my Hip and lower Back got all Black and Blue. I kept Hunting and Hiking till Monday night it started going down My right leg the Black and Blue did. So Midnight I decided to go to Emergency room in Show Low. They did Scans and could find anything. It still hurts and is Swelled up ,My lower right back that is.. I got out of Hospital in time to go after a Bird I roosted the night before. Gave it a try to no avail then came home after that yesterday. Follow up with Family DR. next week. They said take it easy for a couple weeks, but still hasn't got any better yet. Fun Hunt Tho, Like I said most Turkey action in 30+ years..............BOB! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted May 7, 2021 Unsuccessful hunt for me. Saw legit 30+ gobblers, let one rip at about 60 last night after an extremely emotional "visit" with my grandpa. Not 150 yards from his final resting place, I stumbled upon the group of toms I had been stalking. 0 response to the call, but we saw a ton of birds. It was a great week in God's country, and a surprise emotional cleanse that I didn't know that I needed. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
