I’m tagging along with Mason and his buddy. Just here for the show if there is one. We have heard quite a few. We are on the edge of a huge field that usually provides some entertainment around 8. Hoping history repeats.

This was my #1 spot until Friday morning a guy was here listening so I drove to my second choice and popped up a blind for the rain coming in. As I was setting my blind gobbling was going down all around so I was good with it. Yesterday morning his truck was here as I passed by. In the afternoon I went to pull my blind and his truck was over there like he was scouting that spot and he's not here this morning. .

Turkeys are stupid. Honestly, I expected to be bored. There's very, very little sign of turkeys being out here at the moment. I've maybe heard one gobble. No tracks, scratchings, or turds so far either. It's pretty desolate at the moment. And it's kinda cold.

Got mine yesterday Josh I'm just out listening to the music
. And a coffee mug? Why did you leave your bed? Drinking coffee without being in a blind you have zero chance of ever seeing a turkey before they see you. Your attitude is poor this morning Bowhunter! 
How can it be perfect if I’m not there

Had a hen at 15 steps with plenty of shots at she been a he, so my chances of seeing a turkey are pretty good at this point
Put out the fire and moved 300 yards closer to the truck. I love this spot for "sit and wait" hunting. Nice oak flat in front, ag field behind me. I'm out of coffee and I'm hungry, so we'll see how long I last!

Good friend of mine, Eli, asked me yesterday if I wanted to “guide” him this morning in hopes of his first turkey. We went to a chunk of public that I’ve had reasonable luck on years ago. Got up at 3, met at 3:30, stopped and got some snackies and were to the parking lot by 4:45ish. It was 3/4 of a mile walk so we started walking around 5:30. I ripped off half a dozen owl hoots during our walk around 5:45-6 with no gobbles, which made me sad. We continued to the corner that I wanted and birds started firing off damn near 360°. Eli was visibly shook, absolutely pumped lol. I put out a 1/4 strut Jake mounting a lay down hen in the clear cut/ flooded CRP and a lookout hen inside the timber edge where we sat. Birds gobbled nonstop for a half hour until they flew down. I heard some very obnoxious hen yelps where the birds sounded to be, turned out to be a hunter on private a couple hundred yards away. BOOM…BOOM BOOM………. BOOM BOOM. Fugg. I was hopeful the birds would head our way after being shot at. 45 minutes went by, couple hens browsed through behind us in the timber. No gobbles. Nothing. I was pretty salty if I’m being honest. After a bit I heard some CRP crunching, for sure thought it was Eli being fidgety per usual, but he wasn’t moving. I look to my left into the field thing and there were 4 very bright red heads with 3” beards 25 yards away. Eli was probably sitting 5 yards away from me and had no idea the birds were there, I whispered to him that any of the 4 were fair game. They were all strutting their stuff, I did a few sharp cuts to get some necks stretched and he folded his ass. Got it all on video as well. We were both shook. I would have to say that was the most excited I’ve been for a Jake and also a bird I didn’t even shoot. High fives and fist bumps ensued, it was an excellent time with a good friend. For anyone that I have on other social media platforms I’ll be posting the video later today. PS: this dipshit didn’t even bring a face mask, thank god for Jake’s lol
