Turkey hunting and BS welcome!

I think I brought the wrong call today.

 

Another Tom just out of range this morning. My finger getting itchy

 

how many hunting days are left?

 

Until the last day of the month . Had 2 strutters 25 yards to my left this morning .Being left handed I couldn’t move without being busted so I let them go …..
Had at least 5 Toms on the limbs this morning. Over 300 gobbles before they flew down . 30-40 gobbles after they hit the ground.

 

Here they are at around 5 this evening giving me the finger .

 

There is one that roosts higher on the ridge than the rest and does not gobble as much as the others . Deeeeep throaty gobble . I’ve seen him through the binoculars. Trophy Tom for sure . I would love to know how big his spurs are I’ve hunted 14 of the eighteen days so far .Today was the closest to a kill. Try again tomorrow and set up a little closer to the roost and I need my back to the ridge .

 

Bill I believe these turkeys might have you patterned lol

but one of them is bound to slip up



edit: I’ve only got til next Sunday to get mine......bird or no bird I’m looking forward to sleeping in a lil

 

I’m sleeping in tomorrow. 15 days of hunting . Came close 3 times . Sitting on the front patio with a Captain Morgan and ginger ale and 3 hens ,5 jakes and 4 long beards come out in the field about 250 yards away one Tom is so big his head and neck look ridiculously small .

 

Bumped into another trespasser today . Well I spotted him at about 75 yards walking through the woods .

 

Slept until 630 today . Back at it tomorrow.

 

10:50 this morning ,finally

 

He is a big chunk lol good job

 

Lots of strutting

 

What’d u do different this time? These late season birds are giving me fits lol

 

Nice!
Congrats!
You earned it!

 

Thank you , I was starting to have serious doubts sitting in the woods today . Plus my back is killing me from hunting

 

had this bird or the one he was with at 50 yards gobbling on the ground early . 4 deer came in behind me and snorted and stomped at me and the bird shut up . So I left him for about 3 hours ,went after other birds that wouldn’t gobble . That didn’t work so I went back to where this guy was this morning and set up about 75 yards to the left and 50 yards closer than I was earlier . Clucked and yelped lightly twice and he started hammering back so I gave him the silent treatment for a while and he kept gobbling closer . That is when I figured there were 2 birds .2 more soft clucks and that was it . 2 of them crested the rise at 30 yards and a hen came in to my left at the same time .
