NOT MUCH GOBBLING

Heard I bird, someone beat me to it.  It must have gobbled 50 to 75 times until 6:30 when it was shot.  Hunted till 11:00 never hearing another bird.

shot a bearded hen that hung out for over a half hour before i decided to shoot...also heard at least a dozen gobblers and 5 or so shots..

I shot an missed 1.

Didn't hear a bird...

Heard 3.  Had a jake fly down to the decoys.  Called a lonbeard to 60 yds.  Let him walk for a day when my daughter can be there to shoot.
 
Beautiful morning here.

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....

Heard 6 different birds in hollow below me .2 jakes came in from different 200yds across open field. Shot 1 other one walked away about an hour later called in another jake original6 kept gobbling till coyote ran across field and into woods and everybody scattered.

Gotta be some real Daniel Boones out there. They think they can sneak up on a bird in the woods. Happens to me every year.

I had a hard time fishing yesterday with the gobbler just on the other side of the shoreline brush pile at the Marina Bay.  Is it legal to shoot a turkey while perch fishing?

Had 1 come to about 80 yards from behind me. Heard one shot at first light then had a hen fly into my decoys. My guess was that she was with the tom that got shot.

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.

got wet this am had a hen come in and check out the decoy....quiet and wet other than that.

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.

got out a little late cuz alarm clock wasnt set but still didnt hear any gobbling ..what time do most of you guys get into the woods?

HEY READT2FISH WHY DID YOU LEAVE THAT BIRD GO SOUNDS LIKE A PRETTY NICE ONE?

 
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!
