Great Job Hopper!!
The weather saved a bunch of gobblers this weekend I suspect!!

Workin this am…killed yesterday am. Living vicariously through y’all!

I wanted to go BAD, but the radar just looked terrible at my place.

Not a sound in the sw corner

Been a slow start this morning, got a client from Stewart a bird yesterday evening after he’d had missed yesterday morning. Bout to hit the river to see if I can strike one out of this wind

Went home and cooked some pancakes and conecuh for the girls, it’s finally slacking up here and time to go back out for round two

Had 2 gobble on the roost. Nothing in over 3.5 hours.

Came to my dads and found two more still gobbling. To bad I can't get close to them

Got on a bird at fly down but he hung up, making a move on him struck another bird so started after him only to get busted. Sitting there cussing myself for getting busted and here comes a consolation prize, coyote walked right up to a load of TSS. Sitting there talking to a buddy about killing the coyote and hear the 1st bird gobbling so grabbed my stuff and went to him but get there and it’s 4 long beards showing out. Set up and they come in but skirt around me in some thick stuff and cross property line and a guy over there killed one. Went over and talked to him, congratulated him on a fine bird and he showed me where he was sitting and it was one helluva shot. We talked turkeys for about 20 minutes and parted ways. I worked my way back to the truck and jumped some deer. Had a great morning, watched the sun come up, heard and seen some long beards and subtracted 1 from the coyote population. Man I love spring time.

We had one working our way, probably got 75-100yds out, and the whole thing got busted up by a passing coyote. Didn't get to shoot him either, dangit!

Finally got it done. It took over 2 hours of moving forward and backing up with one sideways movement thrown in but I finally got him across the swamp. I've tried several times to get birds to cross that swamp but he's the only one that's ever done it for me.

Congrats!

Killed my first turkey this morning! 10” beard and 1” spurs. This has been 3 seasons in the making since I’ve started turkey hunting and I did the whole hunt by myself and have never felt more accomplished with something in my life!

Congrats dB and deer slayer

Congrats!!! It’s a very special feeling and it’s like a bad drug that take hold of you!! I just wish we had the turkeys like we did 10 yrs ago here.

Congratulations!

Congrats to the killers!

Deer slayer I’ll never forget my first…never been that fired up in my life… it gets to be an insatiable crave that I wish you had stopped while you were ahead lol

Congrats

Congratulations DS33. You never forget your first.

Thanks for the comments! Yes I’m already excited for next weekend so I can get out there and try and get another. Felt good to finally get it off my back after so many close encounters!
