LFTW 4/20

Headed out the door to get high.....up on the mountain on this windy 4/20

I'm in.

Sitting at the club waiting on my brother

My dumbazz is going as well.

Bout to walk out myself.

LEO on 82 by the Wal mart exit at Brent

Bout to get out the truck in this nasty, depressing weather

I pulled up Aldeer this morning fully expecting NOT to see an LFTT because of this nasty weather. And of course I was wrong. An Alabama turkey hunter is as real and hardcore as it gets.Good luck, Let’s go kill em’ boys!!!!

Sitting at my spot listening to the wind and the whippoorwills. Mighty windy!

Light rain and a little breezy in Chambers co. this morning. Dropped off on to the green field where I killed one last weekend. Doing it the dry way this morning though. Sitting in a box blind waiting in the rain to stop. Good luck guys.

When I left Birmingham it was raining and the wind was 15-20 mph. In Pickens county at my listening spot for this morning and the sky is clear but the wind is still whipping up pretty good. Good luck fellas

Don’t worry good weather heading yalls way. Beautiful here n South La. little cold for this time of year 44.

I am playing guide this morning. Put Surefire out in the rain and I am sitting in the dry truck with heater running. Y'all entertain me.

All quiet here. Set up on a good plot hoping one wants to get out in the open

Got the wife again. Heard 2 on the limb. Quiet since then

Not a peep in Bullock county this morning.

PCP, y'all lost me in the Dave Owens thread talking about that "putt".

Are y'all talking about the "water drop" putt? That's about all I can think of.

Not a word so far

One of the few mornings I’ve missed. Will be watching kids hunt eggs instead of turkey.

It’s official, they win. Dang birds with walnut sized brains are just too much.

Congrats Bob!

Congrats

.I don't have any idea what a water drop putt would be. I don't know people language; just turkey language.

Still raining and the wind is picking up in Chambers co. Probably should have cut my losses and gone to work.

I'm pretty sure there talking about a gobbler cluck. There where are you cluck. Fairly loud cluck that resembles a putt . But I'm easily confused.

I think I’ll hunt this afternoon. Sun supposed to pop out and be cool. Outta hit the fields I’d think

Sounds like a pretty good plan there 2 fitty 7 !!!

Lol! I understand.

The "water drop" is more of a feeding cluck mostly heard with purrs and whines.

I've heard gobblers cluck and putt but mostly when they already folded their wings and are getting ready to leave.

Congrats Coosa

Congrats on the kills!

Congrats yall.

I just happened to see mine out in a food plot preening and eating clover at about 9am. He was with three jakes and a hen. Tried to get close and call to him but they were just hanging out in one spot trying to dry off. So I doubled back around and got some briars between me and them and managed to crawl within 20yds of him. Ended up being the bird that I “missed” two weekends ago. He’s got half dissolved clumps of feather and shot in his breast from that morning.

Way to go guys. Especially teammate Coosa1. I set my alarm for 4:15 woke up walked outside and it was raining and blowing. Got back in bed and saved my self for what should be a perfect morning tomorrow.

In all of my turkey experiences, a putt is bad.
Putt means you are busted.

Congrats on the kills

I have had gobs and Jake's walk all around putting while, what I would say they are looking for the hen and know whe should be here, but they are not spooked

I watched one putt when walking up to a hen before he bred her this spring. It was a new one for me

I’m done with them. It’s been a tough year around these parts. Ended up killing 3 but none of them got on fire maybe 4 or 5 gobbles. Hunted both private and public and has been the same. Weather has been crap and last gobble I heard was about 2 weeks ago. Some may have but I’ve never seen them act this way. Like I’ve said before I did see a bunch of jakes so maybe next year will be better. Headed to north Texas in 2 weeks so maybe I can get my fix for the year. Congrats to the killers.

That's the sound I've been talking about. It's different from the alarm putt and it's more intense and sharper than a cluck.

Congrats to all who got one today; it was a tough morning

In the words of Lovett Williams, “the only difference in an alarm putt and a cluck is if the turkey is calm, or if it’s running or flying away.” It went something like that anyway. There’s different clucks (putts) just like there are different yelps, purrs, whines, etc. Some are calm and quiet, some are loud and raspy. Some are done standing in one spot, feeding, or getting the hell outta dodge. The only difference is the mood and/or action of the turkey.

Congrats on the kills

Best answer!
