Mich Buckmasters 2007 Journal!!

[Michbuckmaster]

Well the year has already started VERY EXCITING!!

I have been LUCKY enough to be chosen on the R&S Prostaff!!!!

I also have been a prostaff member and sponsored by many products in the industry!!

As for this year I am hunting for Turkeys in two different states, hunting deer in at LEAST three different states, hunting bear in Canada, hunting boar in PA, and who knows what else.

I will be taking you ALL with me every inch of the way and let you know how my adventures go.

This year will definately be new to me because I am suppose to VIDEO every hunt which will be very hard to do, but my video team should be able to get it done. We just got our website done, and I have dropped the ball on getting pictures organized, but I will post our link soon.

Thanks for reading and I am excited to take you on my adventures this year!!

March 24, 2007

Went out looking for sheds and didnt find a one. Did find a lot of coyote tracks, some great DEER ACTIVITY, and some great times in the woods again.

I love this time of year to be able to SEE the activity, paths, sign that you cannot see in the fall.

I know a few new places that I will be placing stands!!

Haven't been able to get on the computer much with all the hunting going on and baseball so here is a nutshell of what has happened for me in my hunting journal!!

Well the year started by having a great gobbler in an open field where we got within 20 yards of the strutting tom, but the cameraman couldnt get him in view and I had a BEAD on his head. Well he turned and went with the hens onto the other property.

Two night hunts I called birds into others that were hunting property lines and they shot birds right before dark.

Two hunts spoiled by coyotes and chased birds in to property I couldnt hunt.

A couple hunts where the toms got so hung up we couldnt get around on them.

Baseball has started and being that I run the league and coach I am busy, so that didnt help,

BUT it finally happened!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday we went out in the AM and set up on three gobblers that turned out to be jakes so we went to the next field to see and hear nothing. Well it got to be about 8:00 and they broke loose, we had gobbles in every direction. They were talking to each other and we were right in the middle. I took my Primos Power Crystal and hit that baby and GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE, right behind us. I got quickly set up and there he was right in the field in full strut coming our way. We quickly got the camera ready and we waited while he strutted. BOOM!! In full strut at 30 yards we got him on camera and everything. We now have I think 12 on camera for our DVD.

The tale of the tape:

9 1/2 inch beard
1 inch spurs
22 pounds

Pictures to come later!!
