Usually I wait for a nice sunny weekend but this late April Saturday was cold and a little damp. The Toms were not talking. We couldn&#8217;t get a gobble anywhere out of the shock calls and started to use a hen call to see if that might work. At one stand we started to get a lot of hens talking back quite loudly but no gobbles. We waited a long while and finally moved on. Well the new spot was no better but walking back towards where we were, sure enough there is a Tom coming to our old stand through the woods. I took a bead on his bobbing head and when I had a lane between the trees took my shot. That did it, nice Tom in the bag yet again. 100% last four years. Then it was looking for pigs. Seemed like great weather for the pigs to be out but no luck there.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mseanbrowne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_3140-e1461986608263.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1726\" src=\"http:\/\/mseanbrowne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_3140-e1461986608263-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3140\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mseanbrowne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_3140-e1461986608263-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mseanbrowne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_3140-e1461986608263-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>My second mission was to retrieve my 2010 trophy bucks that I had been keeping at the cabin. The first huge non-typical buck I took in August that year and the second in November, a typical 4&#215;4 that make the Boone &amp; Crockett all time book. I finally moved my elk head and other smaller bucks to storage and am going to display my 4 Boone &amp; Crockett bucks in my study.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mseanbrowne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_3125.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1728\" src=\"http:\/\/mseanbrowne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_3125-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3125\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mseanbrowne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_3125-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mseanbrowne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_3125-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mseanbrowne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_3125-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1729\" style=\"width: 666px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mseanbrowne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/20120_bucks.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1729\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1729\" src=\"http:\/\/mseanbrowne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/20120_bucks.jpg\" alt=\"My 2010 Trophy Bucks\" width=\"656\" height=\"528\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mseanbrowne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/20120_bucks.jpg 656w, https:\/\/mseanbrowne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/20120_bucks-300x241.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 656px) 100vw, 656px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1729\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">My 2010 Trophy Bucks<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My annual turkey hunt was looking like a bust.
