I never called at all. With all these older birds none of them wanted to come closer. They would gobble a lot but never move forward. This one didn't have a name. He would roost right on the edge of the property and fly down on the neighbor and always had hens in the morning. Later in the day he would venture on us by himself at random times. This morning one of his honeys led him the wrong way. He only gobbled one time after his fate was sealed. I was just waiting on him to clear one of the apple trees.
20#
12.5" Beard
1 5/16" & 1 1/8" Spurs

Thanks. I’m not sure how “well earned” it is. I put in the time for sure but that’s more of a sickness than anything. Cameras make me hate myself when I check them. Cell cameras have brought that hatred to real time. I do enjoy hunting them and prefer calling one from his roost tree to my lap in full strut. But if a Turkey wants to play dirty I’m good with doing whatever it takes to wreck his head. Even if that means sitting there silent for hours.

I was in Kentucky over the weekend planting beans for the deer and my camera back home had multiple Strutters on it both morning and evening just my luck. With work and the kids sports, season has went about like I figured it would. It's about time to switch back over to deer

I think I just heard a gobble. If so, it was the first one of the day. I haven’t seen a bird yet which may mean the ever present hens have finally decided to sit on nests. May be hope yet.

Some of you are probably ready to strangle that gobbler!

Hey @brock ratcliff I have been doing the same for years. This year it has not worked out. Did you sit there today?

Yes I did but only until 9. I did not see a bird.

My last day off, thought I would try one more hunt in WV. The weather man lied and I should have gone to our place and hunted public even though nobody had heard a bird since opening week there. I’m at my buddy’s place where I killed the 26#er. 1.5 mile walk in the dark. I’ve heard nothing so far. It is very peaceful though.

Still haven’t heard anything and I’m 2.4 miles from the truck if I climb over the mountain. Probably just stay in hollow and walk 3 miles. Turkeys suck and all deserve to die.
Well, at least you’re getting your cardio in for the day!!!!
