Headed into a spot deep in the National Forest. Good luck today guys

Damn you get up early. Good !uck.

i know the feeling. got to beat every other Tom, Dick, and Harry to them public places. Im usually at where im going to listen at no later the 0500hrs sitting in my gobble lounger and just enjoying the world wake up with out having to hear everyone bi@&ch and complain

First day in the woods with a gun and I’m ready to say the least.

Present, me and a buddy trying a new spot this morning.

On my way to mess with a bird that’s kicked my tail the last two mornings. Was moving on him on the roost yesterday and spooked him out of the tree. Hopefully he didn’t go to far

I'm about to leave the camper.

Present. Good luck to everyone!

On the way , good luck

Waiting on the coffee to finish brewing. Good luck fellers!

Good luck guys. Blessing, safety and success to all. Living vicariously here...

Going after um again guys, they been kick my ass so far.
Like y’all say, can’t kill them if you don’t go

Good luck guys! Giving the turkeys a break this morning, going fishing

Leaving truck now

About to meet a buddy to hunt a bird on his place that we struck at lunch yesterday! Maybe he will wana play this morning

Present

Decided to say screw it and try for one before work. Gonna pretty much have to kill him as soon as his feet hit the ground.

Present

68 degrees, cloudy with 10-15 mph winds. Awesome!!

With season going the wrong way on the calendar, I guess having a cool, calm, crisp morning to turkey hunt is a thing of the past for South AL.

Giving Coosa county tract a try for 1st time. Been at my listening spot for 5 minutes and already heard somebody blowing an owl call across the line. Even when owls answering him he’s blowing the ass end off that thing. Be safe and good luck to all!

Dr. B

Patiently waiting to hear something out here at the farm. Nothing but owls and tweety birds so far.

Working..good luck men

First hunt of the season. Good luck to everyone

Been here before daylight, where we killed one yesterday, leaving 2 that were with him. Plenty of song birds, but no crows have sounded off, or gobblers. Heard a few hen's clucks when a deer blew. Going to sit tight. Well, just heard first gobble of today at 6:54. Too far away though.

God Bless,

Got started extra early to setup on a spot I had been messing with birds the last two days. I got to my gate on public land at 4:35 and nobody was there. I got back to my setup spot and was situated and in my lounger at 5:15. I just sit back and start to relax until gobbling time. About 6-6:10 I hear a damn hunter hoot right behind me and couldn’t believe it. He then goes on to yelp before fly down and no bird has gobbled. I honestly have no idea what to do because I’ve never had many run ins with people on public land, but I also would never park at a gate that someone was already at and had already walked in. They ease on off down a gas line, never knowing I was there and I walk back to the truck pissed. Turns out it’s a damn truck from Indiana. I got to this spot at 4:15 on opening morning and someone was there, so I moved on elsewhere. Frustrating man!!

They closed mouthed I'm Chambers co. this morning.

I haven't heard a gobble since Sunday, only clear morning we've had was yesterday and I couldn't go. Mighty early in the season to be running out of patience but I'm nearly there

Quiet in north Elmore county this morning. Heard one gobble about a mile away.

Not looking forward to what's gonna be happening on the WMA's soon. I've hunted public once so far this year and did some riding around to see what kinda pressure the places I hang around during bow season were getting...first car I see is from New York. Hell of a drive to come down here for some turks. And I betcha they ain't going anywhere for a while.

Public land is horrible right now

🙄 this was the primary action i witnessed this am:

https://youtu.be/9GI2_9P2m54

right at the roost site ... of course

Silence in Barbour county so far.

I had a pack cutting up Sunday morning and it just made my bird gobble even harder. Almost made me want to stick my coyote howler in my vest.

well - that was my HOPE - but it shut mine completely down ... when i rolled video, they had actually quieted down ...

Leave them a note

Moving about, searching for a turkey sign.
Had one gobble no more than 50 yards of me in a curve of the road out of a clover plot.
It was just one of those, I see you sucker!!!!...I'm headed out of here gobbles. Lol

I know now where he's hanging out though.

God Bless,
David B.

Had a yote slip up on us right after fly down GF couldn’t get a shot before he took off.

or take a dump right by the driver door. Then leave a note to that POS

Called one up for my daughter again but he stayed at 50 yards walking through some thick stuff. Made a move on him but no response. Probably about to move again. He’s went silent

They are kicking my butt.
I go left they go right.
I go up they go down.
I go to spot a they are at b.
I go to b they are at a.
I sux!!!

Did hear a couple across line where all the owl hootin’ was going on. Never heard ‘em shoot tho. Nothing on my side gobbling. Did see 3 hens but thy saw me first. Woods are still pretty open in these hills.

Dr. B

I heard one gobble twice at 6:30am, went in his direction and set up. After that everything died down. Tried another set up and had one gobble three times. Unfortunately I had to leave at 8am and head to work.

That’s been my experience on my two attempts

Valve stem remover

2nd day is a charm. though I kind of feel bad cause I was calling it in for my buddy and I just got too nervous it was going to bolt.Brushy as heck Beard is kind of spindly but it did hang on a limb. Light bird too.

Silent for the this morning as well after hearing 3 different birds yesterday. Turkeys gone be turkeys!

one was tearing it up yesterday afternoon on the roost. Got in there in the dark this morning and just sat to listen as it got light and not a peep.

Silent for me this morning!

Managed to thin the herd of a 2 year old around 9:30 this morning. Had my Dad beside me too, which is always cool!

We heard 4 but they won today

Watched 4 for 3 hours . Strutted in a field but never made a peep on the limb or the ground .

The turkeys won today. I got thoroughly whipped.

Small piece of gravel in valve stem cap, heck knock their teeth out

Kilt number two around 10:57. Beautiful, fun morning!

4.3 miles, 11,000 steps, 23 floors today. At least I got my exercise in!

Dr. B

Plan to get some in tomorrow myself! First turkey hunt, let’s go!

It is safe to say I will be taking a break from the public ground over the weekend after that crap this morning. Congrats to all who killed!

Congrats killers

Season ain’t been in a week and I’m already tired! From gettin up at 4 for work and 5 on weekends to hunt it’s already starting to wear on me

Well then Rolloverdave and go back to sleep. Get it?

I do need to go back to sleep but these beers been going down easy since lunch

Out here trying to get some afternoon action or put one to bed. Haven’t heard or seen one yet.

Had 2 at 35yds this morning. They were on my dads off hand side. I just had the camera.
