Went just because. Heard one turkey gobble 3 times about a half mile off. Farther than I wanted to drag my little 5 year old son in the sauna we’re currently living in. Let him call some and then we packed it up. Saw a strutter in neighbors cotton field with 2 hens. Little man was almost as excited to see that as he was when I killed a turkey earlier this year. He wouldn’t let me wipe the camo face paint off of him (refuses to wear a mask) when he went to school. Already heard him telling whoever would listen all about our morning as I dropped him off. He had fun, so that’s a success. My definition of success changed this year due to toting him around.

Only sat down on one turkey this year but killed him. Poor year on our place but kind of expected it after cutting most of our pines and adjacent property clearcut hardwood bottom that turkeys absolutely loved.
