All weekend it was the same story.... Turkeys fired up ont he roost and toms everywhere.... only to hit the ground and go silent... Farmers were showing uo to disk the fields I was hunting and if I was lucky enough to not have farmers show up... then it was other hunters. Saw several hens and they seemed to be more interested in my calls then the toms did. Tomorrow is my last chance for taking one this year... hoopefully I can make it happen if not then I guess this year will be another bust for me.

We didn't even hear a turkey this weekend. We hunted Fairbanks Landings on Saturday (Draw Hunt) and then back down to Brown County on Sunday......pretty quite out there this weekend

Wed-Fri at Newton- Stewart.....I bet you will own that place this late in the season and being weekdays. Do you do all your hunting right there in the recreation area or do you hunt all over the lake?

At least you've heard some... I've been out 5 times now and have yet to hear a gobble, let alone see a confirmed tom... Finally saw a turkey yesterday morning while I was out with Dad, but it was 120+ yards away and was wasting NO time getting away from something!

I had hens all over me all weekend long..... they would literally come running from across the field to the decoys. I did not get a confirmed tom sighting all weekend either.... I saw a couple of birds across the field and I think one was a tom but I am not sure.... al I know is that both of those birds had no intrest at all in my calling... aside from raising thier heads when I yelped.
Like i said tomorrow is my last day.... any tips out there from the pro's on what I should do? I know the area where one is roosting (I hear him gobble every morning I am out there) I think I am going to set up in a different section of field where I can see him fly down and he can see my decoys from the roost.... if that doesn't work I am out of ideas.

I think Poor Valley made me a lesbian slate call. |
