Don’t give Gobblebox the keys to your lease. He’s a flat out turkey annihilator.

5 vehicles at the wma gate this morning. A few private track scattered. Not that many birds to go around. I guess Hunters meeting hunters chasing the same birds. Heard one gobble never gobbled again once he hit the ground.

40+ years of turkey hunting and never killed one on April 1st. Streak continues. Nothing gobbled at dawn. Heard 1st bird at 715. Had 2 super jakes with 6” beards at 60 yards gobbling like they was grown. Strutter drumming at 80 yards. Saw him but his hen took him away. Sigh. Congrats to killers!

Went this evening had one come in silent. He popped up on the logging road at 43 yds couldn’t tell if it was a Jake or a long beard so didn’t pull trigger he didn’t see what he wanted to see didn’t stay long enough. Maybe Wednesday I’ll try again

Well they never showed, I sat for a while and sparingly called to see if I could get one to respond to get an eta. I wasn’t able to set up as close as I liked and my only thought is they had some hens that took them the other way. I’m going to give a try again in the morning.

Congrats to all who got one. Seemed like a better day for fishing to me

This morning’s April Fool’s joke carried on to the afternoon hunt and I wasn’t amused one bit!!! 😡

I walked past a Cottonmouth on the way in to hunt as I was crossing the creek.

Then, I noticed some turkey feathers in the nearby foodplot along the creek. Upon further examination, I realized something had killed a gobbler there in the field as there was a wad of beard and all types of feathers scattered for 100 yards across the field 😡😡😡

Mother Nature can sure be hateful sometimes!!!

When I first heard him this morning I wasn’t sure it was gobble due to some cutting on the neighboring land. I cut a little louder and he had gotten closer. I was set facing directly down the middle of the ridge, he hung left and I didn’t see him until he was 35 yards. I tried to move the barrel to him, but he saw movement and putted 2-3x and eased off in the bottom. Few minutes late he started gobbling so I knew I was still in the game. I watched him strut and gobble for about 8-10 minutes waiting until I could move on him. He eased on to the next ridge, so did I. He got quite on me, so I was waiting him out. A wood pecker fired off right above me, and he ate it up, but had moved to the next ridge. While he was hot, I cut at him pretty hard and he cut it off. I caught glimpses of him working the other ridge, and noticed he was coming. The only place I didn’t need him to come was hard left, and you know he did that. He was in some thick stuff drumming for about 8 minutes gobbling periodically. It was frustrating knowing he was so close but I couldn’t see him, but was awesome feeling/hearing him drum. He finally broke out behind the thick cover and I threaded a needle. We battled from 7:15 until about 8:50.
