Birds were on fire for about 45minutes but they have gone silent. I'm about 100 yds or a little less off the roost. Birds went the opposite direction again after fly down. Good luck. Silent, but dead(ly) hopefully!

Been silent for over an hour now. Wind gust are picking up. I would have stopped and got my trail cam card if those guys hadnt been behind me. They drove by me as I was getting ready to head out. Anyways...
I slept on the couch to not disturb the Mrs with the alarm.
I'll probably sleep on the couch tonight because I'm staying out here all day! It's beautiful out!

JDUB had a nice Tom fly in front of him at 20-25 yards but it’s tough to shoot out of a chair blind and while we knew he was there JDUB wasn’t expecting him to take off like that. Good morning. I need to think about how to approach it next time there

Doing trim work and mowing the lawn this afternoon. Back to work tomorrow and Tuesday and then getting back after them long bearded gobbling fools Wednesday and Thursday. Hopefully Fred Astaire doesn't change his location between now and then. I'm really hoping to teach him the flop!

Called it quits at one, no turkey but definitely got some addrenaline rushes from them coming close. Wish they would come into the set up like on TV. Lol. Sure would have liked to see him. I collected my camera since I know others are going back there. One lone yearling doe yesterday, after a whole week.

I'm surrounded, had one real close in the woods but I'm in a clear cut. It's silent, I am silent I just want to get up and stalk but something says stay put. I'm not very sneaky anyways... Here turkey turkey turkey, justify this decoy! I know the feeling. This is how good I think I am...

Never understood why one day (yesterday) they barely made a peep and the next morning they could be sounding off in every direction. Was using only an avian x hen decoy this morning. Been having issues with birds getting goofed up with my half strut jake and separately the full strutted. Tough season...... think I'm gonna try the same thing. seems the toms I'm seeing are lovers, not fighters lol. hen only from here on out

Off topic. Trying to upload an iPhone video and imgur says it’s not supported? Any ideas?
