He's ours. Wind blew the gate open last night and neither of us knew it until this morning. Heard more gobbling laying in my warm bed from 7-7:30 than I would have at the farm!

Saw a hen appear out of some thick stuff to the left of the blind and walk over the hill.
Figured this is why she was in there. 14 eggs.

Heard good gobbling on the roost. I never made a peep. Just sat quite which is the most boring way to hunt turkeys. They still went the other way. Made a call at 915. He hammered back from his strut zone. Hung with it till 945. Checked him and sure enough still in the zone. Left him gobbling.
Didn't hear or see anything but deer and the coyote mentioned earlier....

Hunted WV today. Had some birds responding but not on my mountain. Walked up on a momma and baby woodcock. Momma was not happy. Little one held tight.
I struck one up around 10:30 but couldn’t pull him off of the private piece he was on. Another beautiful morning to be out
Had one at 50 yards around 7:30 but he froze up and eventually wandered off. Then came back gobbling at about 100 yards and left again. He wasn’t interested in my decoy. That’s for sure.

Very little gobbling this morning.Got 1 into 60 yds , hung up and strutted for bout 15 min . Moved on out the ridge . heard a gobble and some Jake yelps,figured I'd play with him awhile . And without much fanfare [get it ?] a pretty nice bird got there before the Jake .The a5 20 ga dropped him at 35 paces. 21 lbs 10 in. beard and inch spurs .

I don't use decoys that often anymore. Seems like they can hurt you as much as help you often times.

Well, walked in, had one hammering from the roost. Set decoys up.... he did not like decoys one bit.... especially the 1/2 strut jake.... my cousin taught him a lesson at 10 yards. Second bird I've called in for people, almost more fun that shooting them yourself!!!

Fun start to the morning. My buddy was on the next point over with all the birds. Had one in but it spooked and he missed it. Shortly after I worked one in to about 75 yards. Thought he was coming but he suddenly turned and gobbled every step walking away. ListeningTo one now across the road. Looks like the last good morning for a while.
Congrats, sweet pic with sunrise in the background
Called one in to 60 yards and he hung up.
Still hunted and called one in to 5 yards and blew it.
