We went after the bird we called up at 4 yesterday. He and a bunch of others were roosted right where we called him up. Unfortunately, the only other person hunting the Wayne today was also there. So we bailed, found a few mushrooms coming off the hill. We are set up on a new ridge now but nothing is gobbling yet. Gonna quit about 10.

Ha. Yeah he did. He guessed correctly on the green frog. I showed him the way to tell for sure.

Brock
It sounds like you guys are having a blast as usual!

 

[brock ratcliff]

We sure did, Greg! I am whipped. No turkeys were harmed in the making of the good times.
Here is a pic of me impatiently waiting on my guide to get his crap together. Always waiting. This was our last set up. We walked about 50 yards from this spot and watched a turkey fly off a limb. No idea why that bird was still in the tree so late in the day. Crazy dang birds. If you try to apply logic when hunting these things you’ll simply go mad.

Agreed! Since we moved into our home I have been able to watch undisturbed turkeys throughout the day many times. There is no rhyme or reason to what they do. They have no plan. Everything is Willy nilly. A butterfly can completely change their course. Their brain is the size of a peanut. They can’t reason or think. Just react. It is still a lot of fun to wreck their heads though.

Back in action on our home field. The screwing around has stopped. If one of those birds tries that skirting the decoy nonsense today, Mason will just slide the gun out the window and put an end to that foolishness.

 

[brock ratcliff]

We’ve heard a half dozen gobbles or so.

 

[brock ratcliff]

A lone hen came by at five yards or so. Birds are still gobbling on the neighbors property. They roost and fool around over there most days before coming through our location.

Good luck!

 

[brock ratcliff]

We have another hen in front of us. And a gobbler answering calls but he’s still a long way off.

Neighbor Cliff scored a jake with his bow this AM!

A couple of jakes came in silent. After about 15 minutes they finally gave me a shot. Afterwards I called in a Tom with maybe a 6" beard. Not a bad season.

You deserve nothing off my shirt tail. Just keep being a target and let me handle the rest.

Not a gobble today. Had a hen come beat up decoy and two other hens talking to her but no gobbles

I’m working days this week. I start long break tomorrow…..8 mornings in a row I can hunt. Random times but his luck is running out.
