Good times to you too. May your ears be filled with gobbles and your nose full of gun smoke. Shoot straight.

Sllooowwwww morning. I've heard one gobble at a good distance. Woodmaster has only heard one too. My taxidermist killed one at a different location. His son is hunting up her with us and has had a couple gobble and has seen 6 hens..

BUT - just cause he doesn't gobble doesn't mean he ain't there and just because he hasn't answered your call doesn't mean he hasn't heard it.. Woodmaster has a gobbler in his field but won't come in close enough...

I just had 7 deer go past me. The 3 bigger deer were fat and very pregnant. They didn't like the decoys and blind and ended up spooking.
A hawk must have nailed something at the far end of the field. I can see him feeding on something..
Not seeing any birds but the rest of he nature show is nice!

Stayed out from 5:30 - 3:00 yesterday and only heard 2 birds way off... didn't see one. Seeing as how I was on 130 acres of private land in western Kentucky, that was pretty tough. Still... enjoyed a day in the woods.
Anyone think the hunting will improve before KY season ends? Pretty henned up right now. Hoping Saturday will yield a bird.

Beautiful day to be out.,, the turkeys must have decided to go take a nap somewhere. ...good idea
Sruss,
Some folks says it gets better as hens are bred and the gobblers are still looking for love..

Had a couple sounding off this morning. One gobbled about 20 times but he shut up once he hit the ground. Had a hen come into me decoys and she stayed around for 40 minutes!

Put out the decoys in the first field and called for about an hour - Nothing. Bumped a tom while walking to the second field - Botched it!
Will be back at it this afternoon and tomorrow morning.

Got busted by a tom, thought he hung up. Thought I'd move to try and get a better spot and he popped over the ridge about the same time I took my first step. Since this is my first turkey hunt, I guess I will learn these lessons as I go. Didn't hear any other toms and only saw 2 other birds, hens.

Not a very exclusive club, but a club non the less. Almost every turkey hunter has been there done that.. A good rule of thumb is when you think you sat long enough in one spot, sit longer.. Works .... Sometimes..
