Headed to one of my favorite spots this cold morning... hoping for some luck. Been a very hard season. Didn't remember turkey hunting being this hard.

About to leave the house, called 3 in yesterday afternoon and another member killed the lead bird. We were trying to double, but the other 2 didn't hang around no time at all. Headed back to the same place but the other side in a minute.

Headed out to try and even the score with an old bird that's been whipping my arse the last couple mornings that I've hunted.... Now that I think about it, I would have to kill him 3 times this morning just to get even!! Good luck to all!

Been at my listening spot less than 10 minutes and already heard 30+ gobbles. Maybe I can make one act stupid.

I have 3 that are tearing the woods up. I set my stopwatch on my phone and counted gobbles for 5 minutes. There was 28. I'm guessing I've heard somewhere between 100-120 gobbles this morning. That's 10 times what I've heard all year, total.

They are with hens. On the ground and still gobbling but moving away from me. Maybe one will remember me and come back.

As you know.

Three strategies

1) hope one breaks off and comes to you

2) Circle and try to get where the hens are headed

3) bust them up and wait for a while and call between the directions they went

Good luck.

If it makes you feel any better.

I am sitting at the office staring at a computer screen wishing I was hunting.

Heard one a long ways off. Was about to make a move but he hammered again and he's cut some ground himself

Gobbled good in the tree. Not so much on the ground. Had to leave for Dr. appt and wouldn't you know it, had two that hadn't said a word all morning slipping towards me down the hill. Couldn't see them till I had taken 10 steps. 5 more minutes and I would have been standing on one of their noggins.

I did re learn that I am very much a novice and don't know a dern thing about a turkey.

Will try it again on Sunday I guess.
