Hello Tony, :) Thought I would check and see if you are having
any luck yet with starting martins at your place after all the hard
work you have done to get your start, I sure wish you the best.
Also want to wish you good luck chasing those longbeards around
this spring :)

Aaron,
I'm sorry for not answering your post. I was in Miami and couldn't log on to the site for some strange reason.

Nothing to report for ether species. I got in after dark last night and I haven't seen or heard a martin this morning. I haven't got to go turkey hunting yet so, no birds there ether. Half the seasons over and I haven't even been! :???:

Thanks for asking though. I'll try to keep you posted.
Tony

Tony,
Sorry to hear that you still haven't had any luck yet
with starting your martin colony, :-( but don't give up hope
your day will come.
As for myself i have one ASY male back, this makes the third
year for him to be at my place :grin: he goes to the same gourd
every year I'm very thankful for him hope he will find a female
again this year. But it sure is tough for me to build my colony
to more than one pair a year but don't get me wrong, I am
very thinkful to have him. :)
As for turkey hunting, you had better get after them, the season
is way to short. I have been chaseing the longbeards all most
every day of our season so for, I still don't have a thanksgiving
turkey yet :-( :)
Good luck to you with your martin season, and also on chasing
those thundering toms :)

Aaron,
I would be thrilled with one pair! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Looks like I will finally get my chance at the turkeys this weekend. My hunting partner (my ticket to the property :wink: ) called on Monday to set up a hunt this Fri. or Sat.

I ain't giving up, no sir, not me! No way no how!
Tony
