ruttinbuc Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 A tough year for me. These birds were on the next property over from where I was hunting last week. Couldn't get them off the unpressed spot. Hopefully, they will be somewhere close next year. [video=youtube;B_M6v7XXHaM] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3seasons Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 That's a nice one. Get on him early next year. Maybe plant something to draw them over to your side of the fence. Something to look forward to for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan Givan Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 It was a tough year here too. Seemed like the birds were really just starting to get hot when the season ended. Never heard a lot of gobbling, and gobblers were henned up the whole season. I got my cousin his 2nd bird ever, and I helped dad get his 2 birds, but I ended up eating tag soup. Didn't get out a whole lot though. Maybe next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Nice clip Mike. Sounds like you had some of my kind of luck. Things here were just plain lousy this year. I listened many mornings from our back porch before our season opened. Birds were real vocal before season opened up, not so hot after season got going. The new property owners behind us walked through on us on the opening morning about an hour or so into legal shooting light while I was sitting with hopes the bird I knew was roosted back up the ridge from me would come in. I only really got out once more after that only to have birds on the other side of our neighbor from where I set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Until next year At least you got out. I didn't set foot in the woods this spring for turkeys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted May 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Thanks, William. This was one of the toughest years in memory for me. I had some neighbor issues this year myself. To be honest I didn't get after it like I usually do because of some other things going on. I did have some opportunities with a few jakes, but gave them a pass. It was fun calling them in. Wish I would of got a couple of those characters on video. Kinda of tough running and gunning with a camera by myself. Hopefully, you can make up for it next year, hoosier. Seems the bird were all out of tune this year. It was the same with the gobbling here. Very quiet to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
