man I was hopping turkeys elsewhere were abundant. Around my house they are everywhere, seemed to weather the 62″ of snow we got pretty well. But out in western MD they got 282″ of snow(not a typo:lol::shock: ) and those turkeys are in REALLY bad shape. Everything is doing bad. It was honestly depressing. We couldn’t camp where we normally camp because there were some deer carcasses strew within the stream:? the local rangers stopped and talked to us for a bit on Sunday and they said some hikers called in and reported lots of deer carcasses on the trails, along with a bear! So not only was my turkey season shot, the high water from the melting snow swept out a lot of fish, which was good for the reservoir that was drained so DNR could repair a lock at the damn! So the native brookies were few and far between. I was bumbed. BUT . . .
Here in on the “plains” the fishing is pretty good, the turkeys have quit gobbling though, which kinda stinks. But I just had a jake in my backyard yesterday, he busted me, I tried to stalk him as I knew he wouldn’t go for any calls. I was fly fishing for some bluegills on a pond the other day and the carp were spawning, had the wrong tool that day, lol. Needed my bow:evil:, couldnt coax them to take a fly or I would have been in business8)
P.s, I will never get tired of trout:wink:
