Wore the boots out till 11 this morning. Heard a couple of distant gobbles and saw 4 hens. Sure was slow.
Edit: I guess I lied in the above post.

I sent this morning also. I sat up on a bird that gobbled one time one the roost.... and he never made another sound.

Went to a lease that I haven't gone to this year. I set up in a hardwood and cedar Bottom. Hear one fire up and gobble about 20 times on roost. He flys down in neighbors pasture. So I call to him but no response. My calling got some hens fired up behind me so I put my call down to let them do the work. Sure nuff the gobbler starts my way. He gets to about 100 yards where I see him strutting then starts walking towards another part of my neighbors pasture. I call one more time sort of soft. I see him stop and look my way then he just takes off running back where he came from. Wondering if I should've just let him keep looking for me and me not call that last time. He's a real good looking bird. What would you guys have done.

Well, that's turkey hunting! I probably would have done the same thing. Those crazy birds don't know what they are going to do until they do it. I am working nights this weekend, I got off at 630 and headed to the woods. Somebody was parked where I wanted to go so I just came on home. I'll try again in the morning.

I've been out of the woods for few days but I'll be back it soon. I'm planning on hunting Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning.

This morning was the first morning I've been and didn't hear the first gobble in a LONG time. My brother was with me and he said he heard a faint gobble across the road but I didn't hear it. Oh well. Nothin to do but keep on keepin on.

Haven't been since Sunday morning, should have had another one dead but he eventually went quiet and I decided I needed to get to church cause the good Lord's been better to me than any turkey ever has been. Hope everyone is having some luck.

I haven't been able to go much this week. I got close to killing one Tuesday morning but he slipped away from me. I'll be in the woods the next 3 mornings Lord willing.

#1 down...finally! This has been the toughest season for me by far. Haven't heard the first gobble on my place in Madison county where I usually kill 2 birds every year. Struck out in Florida even though we had a great trip and some good hunts. Came real close to getting it done but of all things a dang eagle ruined it for me. Headed to Kentucky this weekend so maybe I can get a couple more. 17lb 6oz, 9.5" beard, 3/4" spurs

Good job Linz! I'm still stuck on 1. I've been close several times in April but hunting pressured birds has proven to be very tough.

Congrats linz. I haven't killed since opening day. After tomorrow I'm going to hunt pretty hard until the end of season and try to get a second bird.
