Nice bird 10point! Got setup early. Heard a single gobble at 640 but not sure on the distance. An hour later he gobbled twice more. Sounds about three hundred yards away. But what do I know. Hope he comes my way. Other than that pretty quiet. Heard very little tree talk this morning.

Buddy roosted one for me last night. I got set up this morning about 100yds away. Bird flew down to decoys. Bada bing, bada BOOM. First time killing one on flydown. Almost sad to be done so soon.

Working from home today, because final approval meeting for new barn and picking you some bees later on. Three gobblers teasing me all morning. 3 hens and 3 Tom's 15 yards from the window. They moved on to neighbors back yard.

Woodmaster got one.
My field that I was hunting was dead from the weed killer the farmer put on it so I’ve moved to where Woodmaster was.
Six years ago we did the same thing. He killed one and I got in the blind. 30 minutes later I killed one. A double. Hoping history repeats itself.

Worked a super-wary bird to about 65 yards for an hour only to see a hen slip in behind him and take him away.

Boy couldn't hunt today so this is first time out without anyone in years. Had three on logging road about 100 yards from each other. Knew if I got em fired up it just be time before one broke away. About 7:30 I heard one working his way to the bottom of the ridge gobbling all the way and gobbling coming up to me. Stepped out in the logging road but absolutely could not get him to strut so he got a pass. I'd imagine a two year old, maybe 9" beard. Let the boy shoot him tomorrow. They are still gobbling here sparadically. Fixing to get good about noon I'd guess.

We didn't get set up until 11am so hope to stay awhile in blind. Stinking coyote in field when we got here probably looking for nests.

Got no signal where we hunt in Parke county so I can't post live. Just got back in from a Very Active morning. A little before sunrise, I hit the diaphragm call and we guessed maybe half a dozen gobblers sounded off in all different directions. Ultimately as the morning wore on, we had 4 gobblers and 2 hens come in at various times. None were to interested in the dekes and the closest gobbler hung up about 60 yards out. Knowing that I dropped a tom at 63 yards with the same set up back in 2011, I was tempted. It was a wide open shot into a cut cornfield. Had the bead of the Mossberg 500A steady on the head. But, it just didn't feel right. Hoping for a closer shot, I gave a couple soft purrs. He still hung up and then the 2 hens drew the tom away. So, no turkey today, but a beautiful morning anyway!

My buddy did ask me to do him a favor... wants me to bring my calls and dekes come deer season! Says I'm pretty good, having called 2 groups of deer within 20 yards of the setup this morning!
