maddhunter Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Checking in Thought I'd go ahead and check in. Got alot of turkeys this year and hopefully the weather will be better than last year. Our season opens April 6th. We get off opening day for good friday this year, so I should get a jump on a few hunters anyhow. GOOD LUCK TO ALL !!!!!!!!!!

Ravin R10 man Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) And waited I did!! nine hours into my hunt I connected with a Gobbler IN FULL STRUT..FOLLOWING A HOT HEN: Got in my blind at 5:30 am, very quiet morning. I put no decoys out. At 8 am had two hens come thru...I called every hour or so, as Im set up in a strut zone. About 2 pm I got a response off my hot hen yelp..he didnt gobble again until 2:45 when a hen popped out onto the plot..then another hen..then a third hen and she starts yellping her fool head off!! Every time she does the Gobbler sounds off!! Live decoy!!..she comes up the plot past me and out pops Mr Gobbler all fanned out...he comes up the plot full strut all the way..walks right into my sights..BANG!!! We had 4 tags to fill today and everyone killed a good Gobbler from 21 to 23# 8 & 9 inch beards one double beard 8" & 4" As Roger Raglin would say,..''we had a pretty good day!" here is my bird; 22 1/2# 9 1/2" beard 3/4 spur 7/8 spur Edited April 12, 2012 by Mathews XT Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pointing_dogs_rule Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 The weather may not be the best in Iowa.... rain today, however, I'm gonna buy a 2nd season license for April 20 - 24 (Friday-Tues). I have two pop-ups set up for the past 2 weeks and two "round bale" blinds so hopefully I'll stay dry. Hopefully that blackpowder shotgun will echo trough the valley early tomorrow. Off to Nebraska next week. I will also buy a 4th season license in Iowa May 2 - 20. Congrats to all. Note: only toms here... no jakes. good luck to all the dog.
