Good luck, just remember roosted ain’t roasted. But it’s a great place to start. Did Ohio open today and nobody killed?

Boy do I know it, been schooled many times by rooted birds. But it's way better than stumble fucking around at daylight without any leads and trying to run to one that roost gobbles way off.

Talked to the guy down the road tonight and he said nothings gobbling, we'll see in the morning.

Back at it
Good luck this morning!

Good luck fellas!

 

[Jackalope]

Ha. That sucker literally came off the roost and walked right behind the neighboring property owners house and over the hill gobbling and drumming the whole way.

 

[Spencie]

Lots of early responses but all just across the property line and not willing to venture this way yet. They seem to roost on the edge of our clear cut areas and head to open woods on the neighbors early. Then come to our plots and ridges later in the day. Still learning the place, all part of the game.

 

[Jackalope]

We went down the ridge to see what was down there. On the way back out the bird from this morning had come back closer but was still over the property line. We got closer and set up to try and call him across. He'll gobble but he must be with a hen that immediately drug him away from us. That's ok. He knows we're here and she won't be with him all day.

Boom
Perfect hunt

 

[Jackalope]

This bird is about 200 yards over the line on the other side of this finger ridge just screaming in that hens face. I bet he's gobbling once or twice every minute on his own.

 

[Jackalope]

Boom
Perfect hunt

Awesome man! Congrats. Can't wait to hear the story.

Set up with the youngest in one of the building blinds we use for deer hunting. The long beard was strutting within 100 yards of it yesterday. Set up 2 hens and a Jake decoy, hopefully we get some action. He came through about 830 yesterday.

 

[Spencie]

Boom
Perfect hunt

Awesome! Congrats

 

[Hedgelj]

He must have slept in.... quiet woods, 2 bucks in velvet. I hope he remembers his date with tungsty

 

[Jackalope]

This mother fucker. . I was just laying down for a nap when he gobbled within hearing distance again. He worked all the way back to us and got to within 70 yards but would not cross the property line. Gobbeld his head off both to a call and by himself. He's worked away again moving off. I bet he's 300 yards

 

[Jackalope]

We made a move and saw him across the neighbors backyard pond. Set up some decoys about 10 yards on our side in hopes to draw him over the line when he does his loop again. Ole tom tom the backyard bird bout to get snatched if he does it again.

Got a full 60 acres of hardwoods behind us and we're setup not 10 yards from the property line. Some people don't think it be like it is, but it do.

 

[Jackalope]

I tell ya. If you wanna kill birds in big hardwoods plant a logging road with grass and mow it.

 

[bigten05]

Had one at 40 yards with no shot with all the brush in the fencerow.

 

[Hedgelj]

Calling it a day, deer, squirrels and not a turkey sound was heard. I even walked over to the next wood lot with no response.
