Pretty work

Good job Turkey Neck

Following along from work. Congrats on the kills so far! My son called and he and a buddy doubled up. He’s killed a few, but these are the first ones he’s ever called in on his own. He’s definitely hooked now! Waiting on pics. CD.

Pic added.

He gone

Mine started hammering at 630 this morning. And they are still on the roost. Reckon why

They skeered!

Well they need to hurry I got crappie to catch

You been calling to them some?

This is what I was wondering. They probably waiting on the hens they hear to walk under their tree.

Boom! 8:57

reading this from my office is torture..... but I can't look away.

congrats to the killas

congrats on all of yall that made it happen. I got on a bird early that gobbled about 20 times but the hens took him from there. I had to go to work. Good luck if you are still out there chasing them.

Congrats on the kills!

One answered my sad sounding owl call from the next ridge at about 6:10. One more call to pinpoint where he was at and then I got set up. Gobbled on his own a couple minutes later and I answered with some soft yelps. Gobbled again and I answered once more and decided that was it I wasn't talking anymore. It seemed like he was still roosted. 5 min later he gobbled again and I was silent. 1 minute later he gobbled again and I grinned because I figured I had him. But .... he didn't do what he was supposed to do. Instead of flying down and walking my way that sucker flew what I think was about 150 yds from his ridge, across the bottom, to my ridge and landed in the top of a pine tree maybe 10 yds from me. I was trapped. He was so close that I would have had to tilt my head up to see him which I was afraid to do. I didn't move a muscle for about 10 minutes. He finally started gobbling at some crows and I figured he was looking in their direction so I slowly looked up. I didn't know what to do. I figured at that point all I could do was hope he called up a hen that could get him on the ground but that never happened. 7 gobbles and about 30 minutes later he finally got his head lined up with a hole in the canopy that couldn't have been any bigger than an orange, and he locked on to me. I'm pretty sure he didn't really know what he was looking at he just knew he didn't like it, started getting fidgety, finally putted twice and flew off.

What the heck do you do in a situation like that? What can you do? I was just trying to be as still and quiet as possible hoping a hen would come along and get him on the ground.

Wait till he’s looking away get your gun up and shoot him off the limb next time.
