Checking in for team six. I've been doing a little scouting and keeping my eye on a few birds. Hope I hold up my end of the team. I've took the whole first week off so I'm pumped up to get after old tom.
Any name works for me danta. I made it out this am with a buddy. We heard four gobblers they gobbled their heads off for five minutes on the roost, but at 6:37 they were done. We figured they flew down and shut up. We seen a big tom and two hens yesterday morning. And then another single bird that we wasn't sure what it was. The ones this morning need to be on the other side of river so we can hunt them. Where they roosted last night is off limits. So we are hoping they move around a little this week. Good luck to everybody. 7 days and counting.Are we supposed to come up with a name? Any Ideas?
Gobble getters
Strut stoppers
I am still trying to catch up to a landowner where I have seen a few longbeards in the past week or so. He gave permission a couple years ago, so I doubt he'll object this year. Just a really tough guy to catch at home. redcloud and I are hopefully going to stop out sometime later today.
I have permission on a farm I killed a 21 pounder 2 years ago, but so far this year I haven't heard any gobbling or found any tracks out there.
I also have another spot where I saw several last year on the one day I managed to get out. They saw me before I saw them though. I'll be scouting that farm some time this week.
Other than that, There is a public spot I have seen and heard birds on while fishing, maybe something good will happen there.
The problem is the same as last year though. With my wife working saturdays and a 2 year old in the house, my time afield is very limited. Hopefully I can manage a few more hunts this year than I did last year.
sounds like a heck of a good hunt.Mu brother and I toon my 9 year old niece out for her first hunt ever this morning. She has been practicing a lot with her 870 20ga. I called a tom to 35 yards in some thick cover and never presented her with a clean shot (20 yards is her max). It was an awesome hunt and he gobbled a good bit coming in. Just one of them deals when little ones are involved everything has to be so so. He would've been a dead turkey if it wasn't youth season lol. Great hunt nonetheless. She was pumped. We also found about 30 black shrooms!
