Not a peep in Perry county this morning. Got my buddy with me today. I’ve called a bird in for him the last 3 years hopefully we can keep the streak going. Maybe it will get better as the day goes by. Good luck fellas

Good luck gents. My mil ruined my pre-church hunt plans. Happy Easter. He is risen (but hopefully that gobbler is down for the count!)

Nothing happening in this part of chilton

Heard one close, flew down and got with hens. Dusted a yote, 8 yards with tss

I've heard one gobble a couple times off in the hollar earlier but been quite since.

Just killed my first turkey at 20 yards.

Last Sunday when I walked in to where I wanted to set up to listen, I had 2 start up in the bottom that I had just walked passed. I ended up getting on one in front of me and never heard from the ones behind me after flydown. This morning I figured I'd stop short and see if they were roosted there again. Sure enough they were roosting about 100 yards from where I had stopped. They flew down away from me and split up and went different ways down the bottom. I moved to get just over the crest of the hill and between them. When I got set up I gave them a medium couple of yelps and they both answered from different directions so I knew I was in business. I have them about 10 minutes of silence and was going to give them a few low purs and realized I left my slate on the ground at my last set up so I yelped real low and they both gobbled right in front of me just over the hill. 30 seconds later the first one topped the crest and I let loose at the first shot he gave me. Never even flipped. Happy Easter

Congrats on the limb hanger!

Finally on the board

Folks packed in like a dozen eggs this morning on public. Congrats on the kills

X2. Went to the spot I killed one last week and heard one gobble 1x. At least I have a plan for next week

Congrats to the killers. I got on one he flew down with hens I’ll try him at a later date

Got up but just couldn’t go. Today is neither mine nor the turkeys day. Good luck

Couldn’t get them to corporate today

Just dealt with the most sound perception impaired turkey I’ve ever seen. He had me dead to rights, he was on top of the ridge and I was working my up up to him when I got pinned down. I had no choice but to engage. He ate it up too. Went back and forth gobbling for a long time. Granted, I was in a crappy spot, had big rocks all around me, but he should’ve been able to find a path to me. I could not move, advance or retreat, due to the vegetation and him having the high ground. This isn't a big ridge by any means, it comes up to a high point quickly, but relativity low elevation. I didn’t figure he would give up the high ground, but behold, he came off finally and got even on the same bench as me. The entire time, I’m spinning around the tree like crazy. He’s within shotgun range, but I cannot see him. He finally gobbles under me about 100 yards. Now he’s shut up because I imagine he’s in the field. He walked right past me within gun range and I could not see him, nor would he turn left and come 20 yards closer. Dangedest thing I’ve seen in a while.

First turkey I've ever killed. I heard him gobble a couple times off in the hollar this morning but he went silent. About an hour later two toms popped out at 30 yards. This was the lead bird and the LongbeardXR #5s smacked him at 20 yards.

Heckuva good start. Congratulations

Got him. Had not heard a thing. About 8:00, I do a few yelps and a hen comes in fast. She gets to about 15 yards and is looking around for the hen she heard I guess. Then out of the tall bushes, he comes strutting. I feel like I can reach out and pet this hen so I know she is about to bust me. He gets to about 50 yards and I say a prayer to the TSS gods and let fly. Dead bird.

Congrats illusion. That's a great bird for a first.
Congrats to all the killers and those that were in the game. I've got one bird left so I'm breaking out the pop gun for the rest of the season. Never killed one with it so hoping for the best.

Congrats to the killers especially the first timers!

Heck yea - congrats killers
