Let’s just say the blind hog found an acorn. Got to my buddy’s place and woke up this morning to 47 degrees and clear sky’s. Walked in the woods down a trail and set up near a food plot. Day begun to break and gobbles soon followed every noise. Long story short, heard about 4 different toms w 2 being close. They weren’t together and both didn’t want to play and ended up going past me.

Around 4 I walked back in and sat down at the same tree. Around 5 I had a tom gobble about 300 yards in the bottom. Few minutes later I did some yelps and not getting a reply. 30 minutes later I look to my right and a tom is 30 yards away looking at me head held high. I’m not ready and the tom knows something might be up. I freeze as he stood there for 5 minutes not moving. Then he starts feeding in the woods offering no shot but did give me and opportunity to pick up my gun and slowly shoulder and turn and wait for a clear shot. Seemed like 20 minutes but was probably about 4-5 minutes and I pulled the trigger. I got my first turkey for the year.
 
Congrats on the first 2026 Turkey on TOO Nicky!
Thanks, I wasn’t trying to be a first. Was trying to kill a bird in 2 years. Felt good to pull the trigger after many miles through the woods. Had one this morning but I kicked up some deer and they ran over the turkey. I sat till 8 and he would gobble every 5 minutes. I went down the hill and through the gully to get on his side of the ridge. Was about 70 yards from him but he was on back side of another. Slipped up and he was in a tree and seen me. Damn deer put him back in the tree. This turkey hunting is a sickness, and I love it.

Heard another one while sitting here about 300 yards off. Waiting for him to gobble again so I can get a good direction to close the distance.

Good luck!
