My taxidermist was scouting this morning to take a youth tomorrow and heard 6 or 7 gobblers just about where I was at yesterday and I heard very little. Funny how they turn it off and on..

I have seen 5 turkeys before I even got to my parking spot. A lone gobbler in a chisel plowed cornfield. A hen an old bean field and 3 hens from the road right at our property line and the adjacent property. They were only about 200 yards from the spot I am hunting. All the hens ran as soon as they saw the truck.

Pretty nice partially cloudy evening..slight wind.

They are not gobbling but they are out in the fields with the hens. One group had 3 toms with one bearded hen.

A hen picking at about 40 yards. She is a pretty one. Surely she has a boy friend or two

I have to take a few days off, as I have to put a couple days in at the station, but come Tuesday I will be back after them, I have never had to hunt this late in the season, I have been very lucky the last couple years. These old birds are Smart, but I have enjoyed these lesson of late.
