Nothing down here... Heard a ton of gobbling saturday morning with one longbeard being seen at 75+ yards...

Nothing on the ground yet though! But there's still plenty of season left!

Been working on it. My best opportunity was actually the Tuesday before the GA season opened. By the looks of his beard he "should" have had some serious hooks on him.

Hit my buddy's lease in GA on Sat/Sun and heard a bunch of birds. Most are henned up pretty good right now. Soon, though...the killin' will commence

 

[Handgunner]

We're on the board!!! Post soon to follow!

18lbs - 9.875" beard - .75" spurs! Pictures and story soon.

Scored for challenge - 17.375

Way to go!!!

I'll be getting back after them on Monday morning. I'll be calling for my girlfriend though, but I'll have the whole rest of the week out there to myself.
I went and just listened this morning since the season doesn't open up here until April 1st and I found 2 gobblers roosted out on a point that are just begging to get shot next week!

 

[weathermantrey]

I blew it this morning fella's.

I had one come in, but i was setup in a fairly thick area, and the turkey wasn't gobbling very much so I was unsure where he was gonna pop up at.

Next thing I know, he standing about 12 yards away directly to my right. I tried to swing and shoot but I missed him as went running off

 

[Omega]

Don't feel bad. I've been striking out every weekend thus far. Got beat to a spot on my buddies lease and they've been henned up. Where I was at this past weekend I didn't hear much gobbling with that front moving through. I tried setting up where I knew a gobbler was coming, daily, and he did not show...go figure

 

[Handgunner]

Hate to hear that y'all, but that's "hunting"... Still plenty of time for us to win this!

 

[weathermantrey]

I got on 5 different gobblers this morning up until 11:00 am and have nothing to show for it:

Luck has not been on my side this year. Every time I get up and move, another gobbler will sound off right where I was previously sitting

 

[Handgunner]

Sit longer!

There's still plenty of time.... I've not had much luck either!!!!

I've been splitting my time trying to help some of our competition get his first spring bird but it hasn't worked out so well

Got setup about 80 yards from one and he was gobbling on the roost. Hit the dirt, shut up and disappeared.

Got 3 days I can hunt left in FL and then May 15th in GA. Dang birds about to drive me crazy

Me too!

I can't seem to buy a gobble these last few days! Let alone SEE one!

 

[weathermantrey]

I located one this evening. He gobbled twice right before dark. I have a good feeling I know where he's gonna be headed in the morning so hopefully i'll get a crack at him
