Nib-shitter or a potential sneak-in....... That field is not mine (but is also no hunting at all)... I call them onto my property from there.

I hate to say it, but I need a rain day ~~ working during Turkey Season Blows!

Good Luck in the Morning Guys....... If it rains, I'll be trying to get a speeding ticket.......

I was out from about 8:40 until 12:00 in Coshocton. Never heard a peep! I set-up twice and waited about an hour in each spot just in case.... Did have a little excitement on the first cluck though. A hen exploded into flight about 10 ft from me... Scared the hell out of me..... She was nesting and I got a pic of her nest.

The nest is cool that sucks they are nesting already. I have been out over 20hrs and haven't heard or seen a tom. Had them fired up on youth weekend i hope its the weather.

Was set up and ready at 5:45 this morning. Not one Peep was heard. Called in 2 hens but nothing in tow. Then a hen was feeding in the grapevines on the other side of the creek. Was about time to go, so I was mocking her calls....seen something black coming in.........@42 yds a black cat was sneaking in on my decoys:smiley_crocodile: My 20 ga 1100 Premiere holds a pretty good pattern with that Widowmaker Choke Tube.

Xbow- That sucks that you didnt hear any thismorning.

I got out at arouynd 7 and did som light calling and got set up on one. He was heading right to me down a logging road and stopped at 60 or so yards and turned and went down on a shelf to my right. He gobbled and strutted down there ..then left. Other than that, no major action.

First time EVER I was in this spot and did not hear one gobble on the roost. Did hear one fly down about 150 yds from me......... Then a shotgun blast went off 300 yds away--about 15 min later. Heard 3 shots this morning...The last one shot 4 times! All were on different properties than mine.

Frog Season is not until the second Friday in June @ 6:00 PM. Just Sayin'

Did a dumb one today........ Called into a thicket on my way to the blind....Nothing. Started on back the tractor path and when I rounded the corner, he was coming in silent........ Done Deal!....... He did not want to see what I was up to. The 1.3 seconds I got to see him, he looks like a descent bird. Walked on back later on and they've been scratching a whole lot back there.........

16 yd shot in this spot... If I can get him back in, I believe I'm gonna Xbow him.
