Yep, congrats to all

Working nights so this morning will be a quick scouting trip and if their is a suicidal bird out here I'll gladly give him a ride in the trunk!
Good luck all and be safe.

Just pissed of a lone hen working the field in front of me. No gobbling yet but the guy youth hunting this weekend said the toms were quiet.

Alex and I took Travis out yesterday and sealed the deal. He missed one Saturday morning but yesterday he put the hammer down. I'll do a write up later. 9.5 beard and 3/4 spurs.

Birds were fired up at the farm this morning. I hit the hoot owl call at 5:20, nothing. 5:30, nothing. 5:40, nothing. I was down in our big bottom field, so I knew I was in hear shot of something. At 5:50 I put in a mouth call and lit the world on fire. Sure enough, there were multiple birds roosted on the point above the far end of the field. I set up below them and enjoyed the show. They must have gobbled 200+ times and I could see them on the branches preening and gathering up the nerve to pitch. When dad bought the farm, we owned the ridge top field. However part of the deal was that we would sell that field to the neighboring farmer who had always leased it. If we still owned that field, I'd kill a bird by 7AM on opening day every year. All 5 birds pitched in to that field and started covering ground at a rapid pace. My first attempt to cut them off left me in shock at how fast they were moving, so I literally ran through the woods 500 yards so I could button hook them. I was able to get within 30 yards of the biggest bird, but it was too brushy to shoot. By 7 they had worked back in to that field, so I left to make it to work for our weekly conference call.

I'll be back Wednesday morning. If they roost in the same spot, I'll head straight to our oak flat and wait on them...

Snuck in close to their roost. They flew down right in front of Brian. Brian shot first, I shot at the red blur going past a Mach 1. His is 22 lbs, 11" beard, 1 1/8" and 1" spurs. Mine was 19 pounds, 10" beard, 1" and 7/8" spurs.
