Just put my boots on. Trying a little spot here in Louisiana this morning, got about an hour drive. Sure is a beautiful morning over here.
Just pulled in to my spot on Freedom Hills. Hoping they gobble their heads off with this cool clear morning we got blessed with

Good luck folks. Sadly I have to work the next 4 out of 5 days. Looks like some good weather.
Going to be a beautiful morning. Get out there guys. 48 slight breeze here. First good sunshine morning n a few days. Not a cloud to be seen. Gobblers should have a sore throat gobbling this morning.

Here. Pretty breezy. I’ve heard 2 birds way off gobble one time each. Hoping one opens up a little more to get a better location on him.

Hunt day #1 at Thigpen. Nothing right off the bat but I’ve heard one gobble a couple times about a half mile down the creek bottom we’re in and on our section. Hiking our way to him now

Beautiful morning fresh tracks since the rain yesterday, but not a peep. Guess they didn't get the memo on what a beautiful morning it was to gobble.

Gobbler was roosted right on the edge of the field im on. Got in here real early. He flew the other way onto the neighbors property and proceeded to gobble until about 7:30. Gobbled at least 100 times. Gotta believe he'll come in this field eventually. Gonna wait him out

I'm yet to experience this, but that has to be the most disheartening thing. Least he sounded off for you.

He’ll be there before flying up this afternoon, unless he roost somewhere else.

Got on one this morning that gobbled 50 times in the tree. Hit the ground and answered a mouth call. A few minutes later hit him with a crystal pot call and he gobbled 5 times so fast I am surprised he didn't pass out from lack of oxygen. Shut up and put up the gun when he went silent. He gobbled again flanking left and I moved 20 yards. Silence so I hit him again. Had moved back where he roosted. Then moved into a creek bottom and gobbled 2 more times. Had to sneak out or be late to work. Hope he didn't pick me out when I moved. Tomorrow is a new day!!!

Oddly silent morning for me

Re: LFTW 4/12/24 - 04/12/24 02:32 PM
Well, that didn't work out like I planned. All of this missing talk gave me som bad juju. Gobbler strutted in to about 35 yds and I guess I was too busy looking for a flopping Gobbler and I guess I didn't keep my head down, bang but no flop, flew right outta my life. It was beautiful right up to the miss part. He was facing the sun and was lit up. Oh well, I'll get over it
Humbling morning. Headed to work

The state said I'm not allowed to kill anymore this year, but I went to a new property to listen and didn't hear anything. swung by another place, stepped out the truck and hit the box call and was cut off at about 125 yards. eased back in the truck and listened to him gobble as he closed the distance. I could have shot him out of the truck. Boy I wish it was still 5 on the limit. I'll continue to go and listen for the rest of the season, I love hearing birds gobble, hoping I get to call for a few people also.

Took my Dad this morning. First time we have been hunting in years. Good morning. We heard some and got within 100 to one. He just didn’t close the distance. Hope to take him back before the season ends. Thank you Lord.
