Turkey hunting and BS welcome!

The edges but only one of 5 fields .Im giving up over there . Too many people . I really don’t have permission anyway

 

I'm not a fan of poachers

 

All these years I would occasionally see one guy maybe 3 times a season drive in there to turkey hunt . If I knew someone was in there I would go elsewhere. I know the guys that deer hunt there .I told the guy in charge of the property that I turkey hunted in there . The guy that owns the farm is the local veterinarian . Someone else runs the farm . But it’s crazy that just now all these other guys are in there . There is a road to the right with a residential area we’re guys just walk in through other property.

 

Trying my luck 100 miles south of home tomorrow. Arrived this afternoon . Did some aggressive yelping at 7pm in the area I’m hunting tomorrow. Got a bunch of hens all worked up so I’m sure there must be some Toms around .

 

I heard a Tom gobbling day after season closed...

 

Not one gobble all morning down here .Ridiculous All I heard was a hen .

 

Headed back home this morning . No hunting today ,screw it . Birds not talking

 

Every time I see that there is a new post on this thread I open it hoping to see a pic of a big ol NY gobbler lol

Way to keep at it man

Eventually you’ll connect






Or not but at least you’ll be able to sleep in

 

Yea ,gonna keep at it . Try and hit it Monday . Found out there are some other guys across the road now too . Sort of a veterans program similar to wounded warriors . Blind in the middle of the field

 

Those blinds dont scare turkeys like you may think. They aren't very smart if you are concealed in a blind they dont care

 

Use one of those gobbler fan things if you feel safe enough. If they see it the gobblers will come for sure.

 

Maybe next year . Those things are a bit pricey

 

Looks like Tuesday and Wednesday will be the days to hunt . 80% chance of rain and thunderstorms Monday .

 

Has to be the wettest turkey season ever

 

Headed out again . Haven’t seen any birds in the fields near me at all . Think I have some walking to do today

 

My first time hunting Turkey was last weekend. As soon as I got in the woods Friday I heard Gobbling. I make the mistake of pulling the beard on my Jake decoy out like 9 inches not really thinking anything of it. I called two Toms in, but they refused to go near my decoys and I think they may have been intimidated. I did have some hens check it out though. You gotta learn some how and would have been pretty crazy to have got my first bird the first day ever hunting. The next day it rained and low pressure front hit. I couldn't get the Toms to leave their hens and the one I could have got was right over my property line and we don't have good relations with the property owner so I had to leave him. Overall, I'm hooked. Gonna get a dedicated barrel for my Mossberg 930. My goal is to get one with a bow, but I'm starting with a shotgun. Hoping to get out there on Friday again.

 

Walked about 4 miles by 730 this morning . No gobbling . Friggen wind is whipping pretty good Headed to another area

 

I just read an article about Toms liking under 3mph winds to gobble. Guess, this proves the theory.

 

Exciting isn’t it

 

depends where you are its a tough hunt to get them to come in...
