Mon, 14 May 2012 08:16:52 -0500

My wife Stephanie and I drove two hours to the San Antonio International Airport to fly to Colorado Springs. We were both excited to hunt turkey in Colorado as neither of us had hunted them there. Things started off slow at the airport because we had two problems.

It seems like every morning we try to hunt a roost here in Kansas there is a serious lightening storm in our way. This morning we walked into a field about ¾ of a mile to where we had roosted a bird. Just when we were about to owl call to him the lightening started popping all around.

From the Mellon Creek Outfitter lodge to the Coronado National Park entrance was a 953 mile drive. We arrived to clear skies, moderate temperatures, and 55 mile per hour winds. I thought for sure the tents we were sleeping in would blow away.

Having some bad luck cat hunting....

Thu, 12 Apr 2012 09:57:01 -0500

I guess I'm just having some really bad luck cat hunting right now. Yesterday while training MMA my trainer accidentally tried to push his finger out the back of my head via my left eye. Being hard headed I didn't go to the doctor even though blood was coming out of my eye socket. I went by my mother's to say hello and she took one look at my eye and started giving me the third degree.

Jon Gloor, was new to turkey hunting when he accompanied Jimmy and me to Florida this year. We thought that he would make a good guide for MCO so we took him along to see if he might be interested in turkey. He was, so once we got home we started showing him the ropes.

Huntonly was the next group. Steve Johnson, Tom Bateman, and Jason Mills showed up for their turn on the screaming rios. The weather was bad the first morning with thunderstorms and rain. With the bad weather came quiet birds and the ones we did hear wouldn't cooperate. That afternoon we set up and called; heard a few and even had one close but never sealed the deal.

Back Trax Tracks

Tue, 10 Apr 2012 11:50:37 -0500

Snow started falling just after sunrise with no real course or direction, other than hitting the ground and everything attached to it, including me and they were large flakes, breathless; just float falling, without the slightest breeze.

Tue, 10 Apr 2012 11:45:59 -0500

Another 60 degree morning in south Texas during the month of April. That is something one doesn't see very often. Started hunting this morning just as day was breaking. The sunrise was beautiful coming up behind a huge thunderstorm in the distance. The colors were spectacular with gold, red, and orange all over the sky. I stopped for a few minutes to video the sunrise.

Third Group of Turkey Hunters

Tue, 10 Apr 2012 07:57:32 -0500

Pete D'Amour MD from Indiana was my third client. I'd hunted Pete before and we have become good friends.. Pete loves turkey hunting and is a real pleasure to hunt. On the first morning we went to a new area and tried to shock some birds. We knew birds were in the area but I never could get them to gobble. We moved and set up where I knew birds where.

Morning Cat Hunt

Mon, 09 Apr 2012 16:52:45 -0500

This morning when I walked outside at 5:00AM I couldn't believe what I was feeling. It's not very often that one feels a 57 degree morning in south Texas this time of year. Usually this time of year it's at least 70 degrees and rattlesnakes are crawling around.

Second Turkey Hunters of the Year...

Mon, 09 Apr 2012 08:30:03 -0500

The second clients arrived from east Texas. Jeff and Nicholas, a father son combo was ready to experience turkey hunting. Jeff had been once, this would be Nicholas' first time and neither had ever taken a turkey. It was important to Jeff that he see his 11 year old son take his first turkey; so, on the first morning they wanted to hunt together. We went out the evening they arrived and tried to locate some birds. We heard one gobble and it was distant so I elected to hunt some birds in an area I knew.

First Turkey Hunters of the year...

Mon, 09 Apr 2012 08:00:37 -0500

First clients arrived and I couldn't wait to get into the turkey woods. A husband and wife from San Antonio, Tx that seemed just as anxious as me to get after it. After scouting for the better part of a month I had a god idea where the birds were. After Tim and Sue got settled in, we drove down to where I wanted to hunt to find where we could set up.
