Haven’t heard a single gobble today.

bummer PCP; sounded like an awesome hunt, tho ... hopefully he'll be back for another shot at him ...

Dang!! Well at least we got the full story... lot of folks would have said, "no luck this morning"

These dang clear cut turkeys are kicking my ass. Everything I do is wrong.

Of course the only bird I heard was a mile away in the opposite direction they were Tuesday. Got 250 yds from him and he shut up to never say another word. Walked up on a bunch of pigs on the way out. I tried to get under 20yds but a sow saw me so I shot her in the face as a boar mounted her 35 yds away. Didn’t kill her though which sucks but it would have been a hell of a drag.

I heard a handful of birds. Set up on 2 that were roosted about 100yds from where they were Monday. I got between them and the green field they went to Monday and all was good. I called when they hit the ground and they answered and within 5min I saw them pop in a road and start easing away so I yelped and when I did they hauled ass the other way. Oh well maybe tomorrow.

left dothan at 4 this morning and had mother nature hit me about troy and that set me back about 10-15 mins. I ended up being a good 20 mins late and couldn't get to the spot I wanted... Sure enough he flew down and went exactly where I was wanting to get. Looks like I'll be getting up at 2:45 in the Am instead of 330. Actually heard a good many birds this morning but they all only gobbled once or twice

Nothing heard....again. Don't know that I've ever hunted a prettier place that is so void of turkeys.

I'm leaving today for Pensacola for my (step) daughter's wedding. Be gone for 4 days and actually looking forward to being out of town and enjoying this specsial time. I'm not even the least bit upset that the wedding is during the season. Kinda glad to going out of town so that I have an excuse not to go hunting. This should give me some time to get my mind straight and my motivation back!! I'll be back chasing em next week! Until then I'll be checking the forum and living vicariously through y'all! Good luck to all of you fellow addicts!

Dr. B

safe travels bud!

Heard one bird at 10am. On new piece of property and I misjudged him bad. Busted him as I was walking around the road to get to him. Stinks too because he was alone and prob ready. Maybe tomorrow!

Unless your dog has wings, he won't be any help.

That turkey was flying above the tree tops the last time I saw him. His body was already over the hill when I shot, and I could only see his head and neck, so I am hopeful that I didn't hurt him. I felt like I had shot behind him when the gun went off. He was walking left to right and my back troubles keep me from swinging the gun well in that direction. I should have just let him go.

I have a lot more excuses I could share, but no turkey.

Sorry bout that Mr. Steve! No doubt you'll get redemption in a day or two!

I'm at work again today but hopefully this is my last day shift until May 2nd! With any luck I might be able to kill one or two before season goes out.

Hmmm. I'm betting that "prick" was me and you seem like a dishonest person to me because that is not at all what happened. You were parked on one side of co road 260 which for those who are unfamiliar with Cahaba is the main mining road that bisects the wma from Brantleyville to co rd 10. It's a very wide, semi-improved gravel road. Well before first light I arrived after you did and parked on the OPPOSITE side of the road, not right next to you. I crossed the road and approached you as a courtesy to make sure I understood the situation accurately as it seemed you would be going to a spot on your side of the road. Because I couldn't know this for certain, I first confirmed my suspicion that you would be in fact hunting, then I asked, because I didn't want to assume anything, which way you were headed. Never in a million years would I have thought that you felt entitled to both sides of the road. I didn't care which way you went and deferred to your choice. I could not have been more pleasant or agreeable about the whole thing. You were there first and I was fine with that because that's how it works on public land but you are out of your mind if you think you can "reserve" both sides of the main road running through the wma. You made your choice and I walked on in on my side, decided I didn't like it, primarily because I didn't want to listen to the noise of the wash plant that was just a few hundred yards away all morning, and I left. So in the end you wound up with both sides of the road anyway. Now if it had happened the way you say it did, then yes, I would have been a prick, but it didn't resemble anything like what you say. So you have defamed me on an internet forum wrongly and if you're any kind of a man you will make it right.

Oh hell

Let's just go ahead and get it all out there.

In

I can't park close to someone and go hunting, when they beat me there. I wouldn't want someone to do it to me, so I don't do it to other folks.

Had a guy do it to me last spring on the forest pulled up beside me and told me that rd was 2 miles long and he didn’t think I would hunt the whole thing. If it wasn’t for us only being able to hunt an hr or so and it being windy as crap I would have showed my ass.
