Set up too close again, but it worked out. I was watching another one gobble and spit in a tree about 60/70 yards out. Didn't even know this one there until he pitched down about 20 yards from me. Second multiple bearded bird in 2 years.
What you do today, you have to sleep with tonight.

Had one roosted this morning but spent our morning talking to some fellas that weren't supposed to be on our property while we waited on the game wardens.

Man, this Portland Landing place is a truly amazing place! Awesome actually and I feel blessed to have this opportunity to hunt this weekend. Unfortunately, the turkeys are not cooperating. It was silent this morning in my section and on the SOA land within hearing distance. The only bird I heard this morning was across a slough on Corp of Engineer Land. He answered me once but between the boats flying up and down the slough and folks fishing, I could not coax him to fly across to my side of the river. I've got about 1000 acres to myself and the only bird I heard was off the land. But that's turkey hunting. I called up a hen at 730 but she was by herself. I hunted til 130 and called it. I spent 13 hours hunting yesterday (I even stayed late to try to roost one), hunted 7 hours today, covered over 12 miles walking, and have heard 2 gobbles in 2 days in my section. According to the ranger who lives on the in the section I'm assigned, there have been at least 5 different birds hammering all week in the area I'm in. He gave me some good intel about where they've been strutting but so far, I've yet to see a gobbler while hunting. It's hard to kill one when they don't gobble and you don't lay eyes on them. I've got til noon tomorrow to get it done so we'll see what happens. They're in here but it's tough to kill them when they don't ever gobble and you don't lay eyes on them. Evidently they had one of those outdoor mentor hunts in my area last weekend and they worked on these birds pretty good. None were killed but they definitely got a little exposure to some calling. This place is eat up with hogs. I had about a half dozen come by me this morning while I was calling the bird across the river, saw a group of about 15 with sows and piglets about the size of rabbits, and at my last set up close to a swamp, I videoed a boar wading in the water eating acorns. I've probably seen 30 or so during my time over there. I also videoed a baby alligator at the edge of some standing water. This place has got the critters. Congrats to the killers today! Dr. B
