This bird I was messing with needs to be pimp slapped...3 times. One backhand. Pause. One forehand. Pause. Then one more HARD backhand to make sure he gets the message. 😡

Heard one gobble across property line about 400 yds. Never heard him since he flew down


Heard one on 2 of my 3 hunts so it was a good year! Congrats to the killers this yr and good luck to those heading out of state to kill more.

Slept in, sure was nice. Locked in on what would be no 5 early this week but he has been pretty coy. Got close on one end of his strut zone but too late. Going in late afternoon and sit quietly with a few soft clucks and enjoy the memories of a great season!

Saw 3 Jake's. No gobbles

Congrats G/H, and any others who got
Lucky today. I turned my feeders back on last week and shut it down.

Back out here one last afternoon. Set up on edge of clearcut with 2 hen decoys. There was a hot bird in here yesterday morning. Maybe he’s still close by. This part of land hasn’t been hunted too much this season so hopefully he’s gonna wonder who this new sounding hen is and come investigate.

I finally heard a bird again- 4 actually. Was working one when two nimrods walked in and spooked him. Joys of public land. Got on another but he was a walk-a-way bird and got onto private property. But it was a beautiful morning, got the heart racing a little, and remembered why I can't stay home. Congrats to this year's killers. May we all see the sun rise on opening day 2021.

We went to spray the fields at the lease at lunch. Saw two hens the first just slowly walked away making me think she had a nest or poults close but nothing we could find. The second had at least 5-6 days old poults with her which was great to see. Didn’t even bother to hunt this weekend and ended up with 0 kills. I should have killed one opening morning after Stephen killed but couldn’t get a shot. Did see Stephen kill his second of the year but other than one more sighting our year was crap.
