I didn't hear or see a thing today, very windy, I'm done until Thursday morning, gonna hunt a few hours that morning with my buddy in Butler County then we headed to Texas to chase some Rios

Finally my first gobble of the year ....let's see if I can seal the deal

Get him hopper

He is in a cutover about 400yds away I have got my little boy with me so it will be difficult to make a move on him ....so I think I am gonna wait him out, and see. As I was typing this he finally gobbled again

Heard 1 way off this morning. wont be out again until next weekend.

Well the hell with these sumbitxhes till next weekend ....i was muddy , sweaty , and soaked with rain and blood trying to get around opposite side of one. A 4 year old cutover ain't no joke....I am scratched from head to toe, I stepped in a old root pocket and sunk up to my nuts...I left his arse gobbling he got the best of me. Next weekend I will be on his side of gorge

Hahaha. The misery those things put us through.....And we keep coming back for more. I work off in the morning and may give em a try. Will prob just wind up sleeping in the woods tho. CD.

Y'all boys sure are mighty quiet here lately

I'm headed towards Texas, y'all save me a couple Bama birds for when I get back

Back from vacation. Hope to try again Saturday morning.

Man I'm green with envy... I hope you stack em up like cordwood!

Getting ready to head to the club after I eat my anniverary dinner with my wife, maybe if the good lords willing I will have one by 11am tomorrow

I was able to get my 1st of the year this morning. I will try and get some pictures posted.

Congrats on the ice breaker ...I didn't hear a peep this morning ....I got one that is showing up every morning and every evening on one of my cameras on a food plot which makes me think he is roosting close to that field

Congrats on the bird. I heard a few but couldnt get on any. might try again in the am.

Congrats! I'm stuck at work for 4 more days so I'm living thru you guys. Good luck to everyone . CD.

Got one this morning ...I will post pics and story after Church

Congrats Hopper! CD.

Okay here is my story ...about my bird this morning. I hunted all day yesterday from 5am till 8 pm, without even seeing a bird of any type...lol. So while I was getting through the day I checked a few cameras around lunch, one particular camera I was not gonna check because the birds in this area just don't gobble ...EVER. They are call shy to say the least. But I decided to move the camera, so when I checked it I had a gobbler 3 days in a row twice a day, he was there all of the 3 mornings between 7 and 8 am ....and he was also there every evening exactly at 5:45 pm. So I figured he must be roosting in the general area, so I left the camera with a plan to be back this morning.
Okay so forward to this morning ...I was at the spot at 4:45 am and prepped my strikers and pots before I headed in, I took my time careful not to step on any sticks or crunch any leaves I made to the field at 5: 30 stayed in the wood line as I eased to the middle of the field , then slowly walked to the middle of the field and set my hen deke, and backed back into the wood line opposite the direction that he is headed as per the evening pics. I sat there and just listened and immediately an owl hooted and 2 gobblers sounded off, and I was in between them, my heart was pumping and eased my gun up to my knee, and a hen starts clucking and yelping behind me , I was wanting to match her, but held my composure, waited a few more more minutes and everything was silent, ( now or never) so ease my slate out and cluck twice and flap my hat about 10 times and tossed my call about 15 ft away so that I couldn't get it back ( didn't want to call much to the call shy birds) I was looking at where the call landed and took my eyes off the field and decoy for maybe 15 secs and when I look back he right beside my decoy completely fanned out. I didn't give him time to put on a show, I sent the 3 1/2 inch #4 long beards his way bang flop. As I was standing on his neck maybe 35 yes another gobbler double gobbled.....learned something today, I always have heard less is more when hunting turkeys .....I only clucked twice , and had 2 gobblers coming to me. Done by 6:28am and was able to drive an hour and a half back home and be at Sunday school on time. God is good ...all the time.

Nice Bird Hopper.I wont be able to hunt again until next weekend. Hoping I can get on the board sometime soon.
