We got out today in the turkey woods (with whitetail1). What a beautiful morning! We had 4 gobblers talkin' to us by 7 o'clock or so. Saw one hen run a hillside. We actually had one of the gobblers talkin' for close to four hours! He'd range in close then meander away and back and forth for what seemed like an eternity. I don't think I've ever had a bird gobbling so close for so long in my life - quite nerve racking to say the least. whitetail1 skirted the woods for an hour or so to try and put the squeeze play on him put with no success. Obviously, that can be a bit tricky, especially from a safety standpoint. Just the way it goes sometimes. whitetail1 did cross paths with a good group of big mamma does - and to us that's awesome. As for the turkeys - they live another day!

Don't feel bad Larry-the turkeys back here still need to keep on their toes (or whatever!!). I had a group of three jakes come in first thing. I played around with them for over an hour hoping they would draw something else but to no avail. Woods got kind of quiet about 9:30 so I got a quick bite of breakfast and headed back out with the blind. I set it up closer to where I was still hearing an older tom earlier. I had only made one round of calls and here comes three more jakes in from a completely different direction than where the first group had walked off to. I played around with those young'uns for another half hour before they had enough and left. Was certainly a beautiful day for being in the woods though!!! Won't have another chance until Sat AM again but sounds like the weather will not be as nice  |
