Any of y’all planning to hunt this afternoon? Curious to hear how turkeys react (if at all) to the eclipse

Just had a good hunt. Called him in. Came up thru hardwoods gobbling and drumming. Half strutting. Safety off. Wide open shot at 42 steps. Super Jake. Little beard sticking straight out. He got a pass…. So tempted…. He walked off. Still hear him drumming. He’s still gobbling. I ran off his hen. At least one acted right.
I backed out. Gonna try another spot

Been there Doc; That takes patience and self-control. Awesome to still be out there and being able to hear one drumming. Congrats cgardner to your Dad. Mine is knocking on 70. I plan to take him this weekend. It has been too long since we spent time in the turkey woods together.

I heard one gobble maybe 20 times, but he was about 600 yards across the property line. The puzzling thing was there was another hunter on the same property as the turkey, but he stayed even with me and called to him from 600 yards away. I started to suspect that he must be a Poacher since he wouldn't go to him. Maybe he thought he was good enough to call him that far. He wasn't. Of course, I wasn't either.

I called up and killed a turkey this year that was so far away I could hardly hear him. It was rather strange. I was calling to a different bird, about 350-400 yards across the property line, when the one I killed kept getting closer every time he gobbled. Guessing from HuntStand I’m saying he was 700 yards or so. Likely the farthest distance I’ve knowingly called one up. Shot him at 22 steps.

I plan to take him this weekend. It has been too long since we spent time in the turkey woods together. I was just glad to put the red dot on a gobbler’s head in range! Jake or not, he gobbled and put on a show and the ole heart was a pumping pretty good watching him ease into the road! Stood right there with a “where are you?” gobble which was awesome! Congrats to your pops cgardner! Enjoy that time with y’all’s dads. Mine passed 7 years ago last month. In fact, opening day was the day. Miss him badly.

Guessing from HuntStand I’m saying he was 700 yards or so. Likely the farthest distance I’ve knowingly called one up. Shot him at 22 steps. Congrats! That's quite a feat to call an Alabama bird that far! I have tried many times to call turkeys that were way across a property line, but don't remember many success stories. I called up one in NE one year that was further than that, and promptly missed him. I've got several good excuses for why it happened, but no turkey. Congrats to your dad, cgardner! But if he won't be 70 until May then he is still a child.
