Opening day in GA. My son John and his buddy Travis both scored nice long-beards to open the 2018 season. Seems like all the grasshoppers have surpassed the "master" now.

Me, I remembered everything but my hearing aids this morning. Never heard a gobble, but without my ear-bobs I wouldn't hear one in the tree over my head.

As you can see from the picture below it was a beautiful morning.
Cold enough to keep the skeeters away and the sunrise through the pines was spectacular. You notice cool stuff like that when you forget your blooming ear-bobs and don't know whether a bird is answering your best calling efforts or not!...Geo
