I gotta work rest of the week but I will be there chasing them Saturday morning ...even if it is a tornado. This last Saturday on the youth hunt I remember looking at my little boy and asking if he was ready to go home , he was shivering and cold and he looked at me gesturing to another green field and said let's go set up on the next field for an hour ....we are bound and determined to get him his first

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.

I weathered the storms and got my #2 this morning. Not much in the spur department, but he does have 3 beards, about 18 inches worth total. I've got to catch a nap, but I'll update with the story and pics tonight at work. Good luck to anyone out in this mess. CD.

Here he is fellas. I knew where a couple toms had been using around a big field, so with rain in the forecast, I was almost positive they'd show up there today. Since I had to start night shift tonight, I only planned to go for a short while and if no bird was seen or heard early, I would just go home to nap up. By 7:30, with no turkeys seen or heard and the rain picking up, I decided to head to the house. About halfway across a huge field, I got to a spot where I could see around a little point of trees. There they were, about 300 yards out. Looked like 7 or 8 hens and a Tom. I just crouched down behind my decoy and gave them a minute to see what they were gonna do. When I peeked back over, they were all standing tall, looking my way. I thought the gig was up, then the Tom blew up into full strut. I just stayed low and eased up another 75 yards or so. He'd strut, walk about 10 yards closer, then strut again. He did this all the way to about 75 yards out, then he stopped strutting and walked directly down my gun barrel. He never gobbled, but when he got close, I could hear aggressive purrs. He was ready to fight. It was a miserable morning followed by 10 minutes of intense excitement. I didn't notice he had multiple beards until I got home and started to clean him. CD.

I run to the club this evening after work, got there bout 5:30 and saw a gobbler all by hisself in a food plot, eased up there and set up and called and all he would do is stop eating and look, never strut or anything, I called a little more and all he'd do is look and just feed away from me. I didn't understand that at all

I never was able to get Photobucket to work for me. You guys think it's worth messing with the picture of one bird? I would be happy to text the picture and score of the bird to a teammate. I really enjoyed it guys. Good luck to those of y'all continuing your season out of state.
JR Text it to me at 256-397-4409 and I'll post it for ya buddy
