Had a Jake fly down right behind me. Lucky for him he hit the ground where I couldn't get a shot on him. I'm pretty pissed off at them right now.

Dead at 630. Ain’t nothing like killing a bird on your birthday. Had one sneak in hard to my right at about 0600. Got impatient and tried to swing on him and missed. He flew about 150 down the mountain and started clucking. Got him fired up gobbling again. I got up and ran about 25 down the old logging road and put out a hen. Right at 630, two birds came down the old logging road that I just missed the bird on. I was still sitting on the same tree. Not sure if the one I killed was the one I missed or not, but he got a ride to the house regardless. They were plain stupid this morning.
Yeah, well, I always heard there were three kinds of suns in Kansas: sunshine, sunflowers, and sons-of-bitches.

Finally hearing a bird. He's 300 yards across line but sounds awesome! He went nuts when a coyote started barking and howling.

Only got to hunt until 8 today....got a funeral and 2 ball games today. Had one gobbling pretty good this morning but literally could not tell what direction it was in. I really think it was the same bird every time bc it always sounded the same, but I couldn't get a bearing on what direction it was coming from. I don't know if it was echoing off the terrain or if my ears are stopped up from this sinus congestion BS.. .....it was bizarre. He wasn't particularly close, but I got him to answer a box call twice, but 45 min later I hadn't seen or heard anything from him again and had to leave anyway.
A friend asked me last night why I keep turkey hunting........I honestly didn't know how to answer. It's not even particularly fun anymore, I don't really enjoy it, but I can't not do it.
What a crappy season it's been.

Congrats to all the killers! I'm really surprised to see so much success today. Got a pretty cold east wind here, and I've always found that to be the worst conditions for hearing gobbling. We haven't heard a gobble, didn't hear an owl, and heard only a few crows. Everything in the woods is being quiet.
Got my shooter out in front of me, and I am playing on the phone. We are just deer hunting them now

Had one pitch down about 60 yds. Just over the top of the hill. Never saw him again. Thought we had that one dang it.
