2019 Turkey Season

[brock ratcliff]

The birds came out pretty much as expected. Unfortunately they were down the field edge just a little too far. He gobbled a lot, which made me too afraid to make a move on him since I figured there was a good chance the other hunter heard him and closed in. He shut up and moved off a little sooner than they have been so there is a good chance the other guy did try to put the sneak on him. Back at it tomorrow with yet another plan.

Had chances at 2 different gobblers this am only to have snorting deer ruin both opportunities. 1st bird was at 50 yds and then i moved to the 2nd bird on another ridge and had 3 deer bust me while he was at 60 yds or so. Awsome morning but dang i cant catch a break. Maybe next time....

That beats not hearing a thing or no opportunities. Keep after them. Persistence has killed more turkeys than anything.

My son and I roosted one tonight across from the house. Going in the morning and setup close to him. Don't have much time before work/school so we have to make it happen quickly.

 

[brock ratcliff]

Good luck!
I plan to get up but if it is storming as predicted I will be heading back to bed.

Went out until the rain started and then headed to work. Was mainly just trying to hear where they were roosted for tomorrow. Heard one gobbling decent on the roost. Plan to have one of my kids out in the am.

Just call me the jake killer. Shot one tonight it was a total shit show. Ive only shot 3 jakes ever but its back to back years so im gonna see how long i can keep the streak going.

Called one in for my son this morning and it was perfect until he missed. LOL. Bird is roosted in the same spot tonight, so he must not have spooked him too bad. Going back after him tomorrow.

Forgot that it is all day hunting now. In PA we can't do that until the last couple weeks of May.

Drew and i set up before daylight where bird 2 was on Thursday. Bird 1 from Thursday gobbled his balls off so we moved over to him. He shut up when he hit the ground. We hung around for 2 hrs and headed off to catch some crappies....back out tomorrow

 

[brock ratcliff]

Mason and I were close again but not close enough.

 

[cspot]

We were close in that same bird this morning but he just wouldn’t come the last 10 yards or so.

Damn that sucks. Get him tomorrow, good luck!

Didn't get to hunt this morning . Or scout. Kai and I went to check some cameras tonight and watched 7 jakes go into a spot we can hunt to roost .
He wants to go after them in the morning so we will see how it goes . Kinda hate targeting a Jake after he already shot one those year . But who am I to argue with a 9 yr old .
I guess just cause all I saw was jakes doesn't mean a longbeard wasn't there somewhere.

I've considered getting my license and tag more than once. Reading this thread is more temptation to do so. My schedule tells me not to waste my money on the tag.

Slow morning so far. Sitting on a nice corner between a couple prime woodlots now with my buddy. We had to jump to a different farm... Had a bird gobbling at the first spot but then bumped into some other hunters, so we let them go after it. No turkeys here yet but I did manage to mouse-squeak a coyote into 40 yards so that was cool.

I called in a big bird for Cole on Friday, he came in fast around 9 am and in shooting distance on but but we were in a bad spot so he just couldn't see him to get the shot.
We had a fun day though they gobbled good till 10 or 11 but were really henned up.

Cole lugging "Hercules" my big single shot 10 ga around.
the old gun will knock a turkey on it's ass a long way out.
