Hey guys.... If it were not for bad luck, Id have none at all. Last time out, had 3 gobbling around me. Once they hit the ground they shut up. My buddy got us busted by moving because we heard one of them putting directly behind us and he saw the bird but couldnt get a shot . He was around 30 yds. Next time, we had a longbeard coming in on a string in full strut. The wind blew and a giant branch broke between us and him and it spooked him and he started putting. Shortly after, a hen took him the other way. I am going out before school again tomorrow. I will keep trying to persevere....

hey guys...this has been the most frustrating season ever!!! had a long beard at 25 yds last night hammering to the thunder and couldnt get a shot because he wouldnt take 2 steps past the big briar bush in the road... set up on him this morning... he flew down 75 yds from my pretty boy/girl set up with a real jake tail and modified beard...he stood in full strut just looking at them at about 65-70 yds and gobbling his head off... then a hen flew down on the other side of him and he left with her.... must be a submissive gobbler.. iam gonna go sit near where i did last night again and hope he comes through in the same spot... good luck to the rest of you guys.... dont know how i could get much closer than i have to nailing one, but i will probably figure out a way!! good luck!
Could'nt take it anymore. I shot one this morning around 7:30. Snuck up on it. Did happen to snap a pic of him before I shot him. Nothing really to tell about the hunt. Just a spot and stalk. Not a big one but I'm happy to get one with just a few days left to hunt. Still trying to get the big one. This one had spurs less than an inch and a beard around 10 inches. I'll put the pics up here in a few days. We had a little over 4 inches of rain last night here in urbana. Got a little water in the basement so I'm trying to get that cleaned up. I'll be back at it in the morning... One more thing. I tagged it by the internet tonight and I gotta tell ya, that was a lot better than I thought it was gonna be. 2minutes and I was done...
