Strut10 Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 They've been gobbling from the limb here for about 3 weeks on fit mornings. Got out Saturday morning and went to the Strut10 Ranch. There were at least 2 strutters in the far corner of our one field. They were on the ground in basically the darkness. I had no binos. So at 650-ish yards, I couldn't see much detail. Another month and a half and.................. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 Here too! Season opened today but forecast was thunderstorms. I'll pass on turkey hunting in the rain. Weather looks good later in the week. I'll probably hit the woods Friday and hunt through Monday morning next week unless they change the weather forecast.

Strut10 Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 My #1 turkey scout (aka my mom) from the Strut10 ranch called me last night to tell me she had 55-60 birds come through her lower yard yesterday morning. Said a bunch of jakes and at least 6 or 7 longbeards. I'll take that kinda news. Yep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, our young year and a half old Tom cat loves to sneak up on them and put the "BUMS RUSH" on them just to hear and watch them fly up!!? Hilarious to watch him.

Rhino Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 Short walk to the yard Don...not to mention a few extra minutes to sleep. Hunted this past Friday afternoon and called in 4 jakes. Also saw a hen. Saturday morning and Sunday morning didn't hear any birds gobble. Weather was not real favorable with it being fairly windy with the temp in the mid 40's Saturday morning. Wind calmed down Sunday morning but we had low 40's and a heavy due. Doesn't help either that spring green up is late this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny Man Al,? fields are starting to become open in areas now, and the birds are not coming in. Other than one single hen now. Prob. not help I was throwing some corn out for them either. Deer have also got back out on fields with the melt going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted March 26, 2022 Report Share Posted March 26, 2022 Yeah............ I hear ya, Al. Nice to be able to shoot a turkey and smell the bacon frying at the same time. ? Deluxe hunting !!! They've just been a gittin' it, here !!! Some are split up. Some are still bunched up. But all indications are for a good number of gobbling birds on the Strut10 Ranch this season.

Rhino Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 Went to the MS property Sunday afternoon. Discovered that the bad storms that passed through on 3/22 spawned a tornado that passed through the south line of our place. Only 1 of the access roads to the interior, on the north end was open. All the other access roads were blocked by big trees blown down. Power had been out at the camp but it was restored before I arrived. Apparently, the power company also cleared the county gravel road. Lost power again at 4:30 Monday morning. Hunted the only area I could get into. Didn't hear a bird where I started listening. After that I moved west, I heard 1 gobble in the distance. Closed the range...turned out to be 4 birds gobbling in the area I couldn't get to. Right in the area I intended to hunt if not for down trees cutting my access off. The closest I could get was a creek with standing water...over head high. The water is backed up from the Mississippi River backing up into the Big Black River that borders our northwest side. I attempted to coax one over to my side but as expected they moved away until they shut down gobbling. Another round a bad weather coming tomorrow...high winds, strong thunderstorms with a chance for more tornados. We'll probably have more weakened trees come down just from the wind. I'll either be running a chainsaw or on a tractor clearing roads this weekend. Fingers crossed we have power at the camp and we can clear the access road to hunt the area where the vocal turkeys are. If so, I'll hunt through Tuesday morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 Try to be a turkey hunter...............end up being a lumberjack. Bummer. Hope you get stuff cleared out and get into those birds !! My brother texted me this morning about an hour after flydown. Said there was one "gobbling his nutz off" up on the strut10 Ranch. It was 9 degrees !!!!!! I texted back, "I just LOVE a cheerful volunteer !!" Just 4 more weeks...................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
