Had a Tom at 100 yards at 8am. Sitting on a field 1.25 mile from the van hoping for done midday action

Walked three miles this morning. No gobbles and no sightings. I’ll get back after them this afternoon on another piece of property.

Got him heading back to the roost a little while ago. I’m still on the walk out, just got cell service. I’ll have some pics late tonight.

Good deal congrats 77. I hunted most of the day didn't hear or see anything. Looking forward to those pictures

Wore out some boot leather today.

These should be sufficient for the entry.

You done good boss. I could have murdered a few Jake's but na. Had 6 today cross a field and came to the barrel at 10 Paces. Everyone of them Jake's. It was fun tho. They came after me like a band of thugs on a mission. I just layed there on my belly while they circled purred and putted about 3 minutes

Those six jakes will be next year‘s heroes.

You know you're an experienced turkey hunter/challenge participant if you can spread the fan with one hand, hold the ipad with the other and take the picture all at the same time.

Congratulations on a great start and a great bird.

Caught this fella in a field with his harem after work. He messed up and followed his mouthy boss hen a little too close.

Another fine looking bird, congrats to you. Any details with those two birds. Who makes that call, I can't read it it's too blurry. I got one gobble out of a bird Sunday afternoon he came in but not a shot. Went today and didn't hear the first gobble.

 

[goblr77]

Neither bird gobbled. They were henned up in fields and died the same way. I was able to fire up the boss hen in both scenarios and draw them to me. The gobblers followed. A Lonnie Mabry aluminum pot with a Jeff Harrison (JLH) blood wood striker was used on the bird Saturday afternoon. The one in the pic from yesterday is a Chad Hutcheson (Stumpy) ceramic with a Jeff Harrison black and white ebony striker. That Stumpy ceramic never loses its spot in my vest.

I‘ll be going to a spot in the morning where there were a couple long beards hanging out before the season. They may or may not still be there. The birds in that area travel a lot.

 

[goblr77]

He was there. He gobbled really early which enabled me to slip in very close to his roost tree. A few soft yelps and a little leaf scratching sealed the deal. Shot him when his feet hit the ground.

Guys,

I posted the bird in the kill thread. That’s it for me in Georgia. I’ll be hunting Tennessee the 8th and 9th of April and hopefully Alabama this upcoming weekend or after I get back from TN. Can’t stop yet.

Wayne D and Don,

How's it going?

 

[donblfihu]

Man what a quick season, another nice bird congratulations again. I've been close but no cigar going to sit on a food plot in the rain tomorrow.
