Couldnt get too close to him, so I had to settle for 200yds away. Called him into about 100yds before some real hens got his attention.

I heard about 4 other guys within a few hundred yards of me this morning. It drives me nuts when other guys try to sneak in on the bird i'm calling.

Status: offline 		Roosted 2 Fri night. Set up on bird number one that gobbled 37 times in the tree, flew down, then got killed by a guy about 50 yards from me....man I was steamed....I wasn't even carrying a gun, my wife's 19 year old cousin was the gunner, he's never killed a turkey. Talk about jump when his gun went off and to boot he was on private property and should not have been there, plus it was really early when this bird hit the ground, he got killed at 6:08 AM. Off to bird number 2 which was still gobbling. Moved in, set up, bird came about 200 yards in no time. Bird pops out into field and goes into strut for 5 minutes or so at about 70 yards and I know he could see the decoys. He then folds up and walks away??? That was wierd......
On to another bird......Get one to come up a ridge from over 200 yards away, he sticks his head up just long enough for us to see his head, then he leaves??? It was an odd day but all in all it was fun. Heard alot of gobbling and alot of shooting....

Which is why I still wear orange and hang it VERY close. People are inconsiderate bungholes when it comes to turkeys and deer.

Status: offline 		Turkey hunting does scare me at times. I've been taking my uncle along with me over the past year. He stopped turkey hunting years ago when his best friend was killed by some kid who "thought he was a turkey''. I managed to call a hen in for him in the fall, and he killed it. I'm glad to see he's hooked again.

As close as turkeys need to be to kill them, I just dont understand how people get shot in fall or spring season.

Status: offline 		We went out this morning also, miserable conditions... made me think about gettin a double bull, but we set up on a gobbler we heard last night, heard him gobble one time about 6:45, still on the roost, we didnt have much time anyway and figured we should just sneak out and try him another morning.  Who knows how long he'd have stayed in the tree this morning, but then he'd probably have gone straight to the field, where we were set up.  If he would have been a little more fired up we would have stuck it out.

Great week for vacation.....rain, rain, rain.........

Status: offline 		Had a ok morning. Heard quite a few gobble on the limb then they got quiet. At 8:00 I was set up in an area with alot of scratchings  and broke out the glass call, just as I was getting it out of my vest a bird gobbles down over the ridge from me. He gobbles again on his own. I yelp softly, cluck and purr, he gobbles. I go quiet for about 5 minutes then cluck and purr again. He gobbles even with me on the ridge and directly to my right less than 80 yards. At that point I was screwed, I had 2 large tree tops to my right. Welp, he came to 15-20 feet and stopped, I thought for a minute he may walk down to the decoys but he just didn't like something. I didn't try to make a move, he only had a 8-9 inch beard, I let him walk off to live for another hunter. Had to leave woods at 9:30 due to a sick daughter, back at it tomorrow.

I'm looking for an older, larger, bird plus I was not ready to end my season this early in the game.
I like to hunt!
