2020 Spring Turkey Thread

[Spencie]

The turkeys I saw must have moved down the point. They started excited clucking and putting. I got ready. 2 coyotes cane trotting through plot. I squeezed one off and rolled one at 50 yards trotting. May have led it too much but I found blood and figure it will die. Saving fawns one coyote at a time.

This has been quite the season of failures. My goodness!! Crazy morning. Had one come at me right off the roost and beeline to my gobbler decoy. As he was beating the hell outta the decoy I let one fly. All I did was add ventilation to my blind. Are you kidding me?!? Guess I should’ve had the window down a little more.

Entry wound...

Exit wound...

So, he heads down to the woodline and over the hill not really knowing exactly what happened. He’s gobbling and I hear a Hen and another gobbler. Pretty soon both gobblers are in a war and fighting about 75 yards in front of me. I got great video but they never fought my way.

Fun morning!

That’s a good time right there! Well other than not taking him home with you.

Mike, I think there’s a 12 step program out there for you....

Sorry about the misfortune Mike. I don't understand how you could hit the blind though....

He was probably hyperventilating.

Heard one gobble yesterday evening around 8:35. I should be in his house right now but he ain’t talking yet. I start nights this evening. Will try for quick off the limb hunts over the weekend

 

[Spencie]

He never gobbled. Heard a couple others way off. Not much happening.

Total silence here other than the clowns choking on their owl calls at daylight on the bordering lease....

 

[giles]

It’s beautiful, go fishing fellas!

Last two hunts have been fantastic. No bird down yet, but very close. TOO bad I have to do a video conference call this morning.

Birds on all three of the places I hunt still have hens. Coshocton, Carrol and Jefferson. One of the things that we are dealing with this year is corn feeders or piles. Guys that never hunted turk's apparently think it is OK to hunt over bait. My buddy killed a bird in Ashtabula that had corn in it. Funny thing is, no corn fields anywhere close. We have both heard birds get shot, and heard no calling or gobbling? I'm just saying.

Same for us this morning. We heard one gobble, we think. 50/50 it was actually a gobble. We did, however, luck into a coyote that came on a string to a lip squeak followed by my buddy's 12ga barking some thunder.

I’m not a big spring turkey guy as I’m usually working but with my vacation right now I figure I might as well get out.

Can you hunt all day in the southern zone yet? The DNR website is down.
