Turkey hunt report '17

Sweating like a whore on nickel day. Just ran a half mile down a hill through a cow pasture and up a ridge into the woods to set up on a bird I spotted.
 
2 groups of jakes. Tom to the west and tom to the east. All within 200 yards on the roost. Setup in the middle of all of them. In a grassy woods. Not even one came in. And the one tom is still gobbling right now. He went the opposite direction.

I ain't shooting groundhogs😂
 
Awesome stuff tootall! Hang in there chad it'll happen.

Travis busted a jake this morning that we thought was a bearded hen. He was with hens but never gobbled or strutted in the hour they worked towards us. He might have busted a half strut when they initially hit the field but it was 300 yards off. Took them an hour to work towards us.

Congrats Travis ! That damn bird was sporadic with his gobbles. After his 5th, I could tell he was finally going in the opposite direction. I decided to chase him down. After about 300 yards, his gobbling picked up. I was getting pumped, & then I ran into the property line. He stayed put about 70 yards out for a spell, but then I heard some cutting leading him astray. He was getting excited, but not to my sexy purring. I inadvertently left my glasses where I was sitting, so back to the beginning.

Mimic everything those hens do, Kevin. That pisses them off and a lot of times she'll come in and bring the gobbler with her.
 
Congrats too Travis...

Sounds like a great morning Kevin.....

Congrats too Tall Chad on another good bird....


 
Thanks Chad. I stayed out until 11. I was hearing that gobbler again, thinking he may head back. I went about to about where I last was with him & .... nothing. I had groups of deer everywhere, I'm really excited about this property.
