Congrats preacher, always enjoy your threads.

Congrats again Mr Steve, you're having s good trip

Keep piling them up PCP!

Got my 3rd OK bird this morning. I spent about 3 hours trying to get 2 strutters away from a bunch of hens, and didn't have any luck with that. They gobbled good early, but eventually quit and followed the hens over a ridge. I moved a couple of times, and finally lost contact with them altogether.

I sat under the shade of a cedar and called loud on my trumpet for a few minutes, and it was time to go meet my ride. I looked behind me before standing up and both strutters were about 40 yds behind me; slipped in without making a sound. One of them didn't survive the encounter.

You are hard on turkeys.

Congrats

Congrats Mr. Steve! Keep pouring it to em!!!

Congrats PCP, looks like you are having a great time.

Finally got a KS bird today. They are really henned up, and I've yet to find a lone gobbler. Had to break out the big gun today.

I know you've had to work for them but you sure are having a good trip, congrats! Did you shoot him on that concrete slab?

Dang PCP, you've had a heck of a season. Good luck on the rest of your trip, and safe travels

Thanks! Rest of the season ends today. I am set up in a blind on a 30 acre field in rain and 30 mph winds. But there were 2 gobblers right here all morning yesterday. They are probably doing the sensible thing and staying inside today.

I think I'm gonna seek some kinda professional help when I get home. Anyone who would do this for a turkey must be crazy. I wonder if there is hope for a cure?

Congrats on your success during your trip Mr. Steve I know you have had some awful weather to deal with during your trip. I'm glad you were able to stick it out an kill some birds. Safe travels back home!!

I just had the most unlucky hunt I think I ever had. I decided I'd had enough of the blind and packed it up at noon. About to start out when I saw a whole flock coming.

I hunkered down beside the river and started calling. Eventually 2 strutters were in a race to get to me. I was just about to yelp and kill the front bird when a 3rd strutter running the field edge charged within 10' of me. He saw me and putted and ran back, upsetting all of them. The first 2 stopped and I still had perfect shot, but they were right together and I woulda killed both. They finally ran some more and one stopped. I had to get lower to avoid a limb, shot, and all the turkeys flew off.

I had killed 18 without a miss, but that streak is over. And the last miss was in this same field. Think I better avoid it. They all flew across the river and I just heard one gobble. I'm gonna try to wade it. Hope you all have a better day than me.

Stay with em Mr. Steve! You'll get it done!

Stay on them

Got a little bit of redemption, though a miss never goes away. I was able to wade the river though it came within an inch of running over into my Mucks. The turkey gobbled sporadically and finally he crossed the river back to the original side. I had about given up on him and was nearly back to the truck when he gobbled in the woods on the other side of a 40 acre corn field.

I alternated with a Hatchet Creek Screaming Green and a Dixie Darling box and he picked up his gobbling. Then he got quiet and I spotted him standing in the field on the other side. He walked the road around the field and came right in. Nice way to end the season, one that I really enjoyed. Good luck to those still hunting hunting! I've put in almost 2 months of it.

Congrats PCP. Seems strange to not see the double barrel in your pic. Safe trip home.

Heck of a season, congrats and safe travels home

I had to pass on a couple of birds about 55 yds, so yesterday I decided to pull out the big gun. This was the first time I've used it in 2 years. I don't like the Holo sight; it's soon gonna be for sale.
