Added a video from shed hunting these last few days. I'm shed hunting a unique spot tomorrow, I'll post a video if I find enough sheds

The hunt lasted two hours, I roosted some birds and had to run and gun on them. Missed twice at 20 yards, bought the same turkey loads but they were shooting tighter out of the gun for some reason. Shot right over two different tom's heads.

After that, I went down the road a few miles and saw three hens out in an open pasture. Yelped out my window and heard three gobbles. I figured out they were only a couple hundred yards off the road I ran up to the ridge they were thundering off. They wouldn't come down the ridge but were fired up and I kept hearing them gobble. I was tired of waiting for them and once I heard them gobble in the opposite direction I took off over the ridge and had one 3/4 strut at 30 yards. Ended up shooting his wing and he flew down and bedded up under a tree where I finished him off only 20 yards from the road.

Was able to fill both my Idaho Black bear tags on a small and giant bear. Very happy and can't wait for 2018 Black Bear! Lost my Sitka jacket the other day though...hopefully, it turns up.

I'll update the story on Sunday, had an Owl attack me, charged by a bear, my bear was buried by a bigger bear, and freeze my behind off in a foot of snow...twice.
