Re: Realtree Turkey Team #6

Dad got a jake, my brother passed up a jake today. I did battle with a gobbler and a hen! Turns out the hen WON! GRRRRRRRR! LOL! Hey thats turkey hunting! The hen would call he gobbled, I called he gobbled, started feeling sorry for the old tom because it seemed he didnt know which way to turn, because he was in between us! LOL! Pretty sure it was the big boss we seen in full strut Friday afternoon. Anyways, had a great time as always there. Hopefully Ill get another chance to head back up there again! I believe some of the hens are not bread yet. The next few weeks should really get hot as most of the hens are all nesting. Then, them toms should start running in more towards the calls we make! I still have six more days of hunting left! I am not done yet!!! My brother forgot to snap a pic of dad's turkey, sorry!

Re: Realtree Turkey Team #6

Went behind my house this morning with my best friend. It was his first time turkey hunting. I got back from school late last night and wasnt able to roost any gobblers. We got in this little field in the morning and sat there for a while. At about 5:45am GGGGARRRRRROOOOOOBBBBBLLLLEEEE! He was only 60 yards away! My buddy almost jumped right out of his seat. But he flew down and headed away from us and went right to his strut zone with the hens. We got in tight on them and I called in two hens but they didnt have any gobblers with them. He was the oldest sounding gobbler I have ever heard. I am going to hunt again next saturday but then Im going to miss a whole week when i go to montana. frown.gif But when I get back Im gonna hunt hard and bag one of those monsters back there. Ill have 5 days to hunt. Good Luck guys!

Sorry I havent been around. Wednesday I missed a bird, he dunked his head behind a tree when I shot, then on Friday I snuck up on a big tom. My friend and I stalked this turkey for about 120 yards. but never got a shot. Going Tuesday and the rest of the week.

Re: Realtree Turkey Team #6

Well guys, I am at a lost here! crazy.gif I must have walked 12 miles the last two days and have not heard a single gobble or a hen yelp! This is crazy! My feet are screamming STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not sure what is going on here with these birds. Earlier in the year I noticed three different dead deer that were either never recovered, or been taken down by yotes. I was so angry today I was praying for a yote to walk by me! mad.gif

Anyways, nothing! Didnt hear or see anything, well I seen a hen walking near the field edge on my way home, IN MY TRUCK!!! Tried to get some pics, but i believe she was too far away.

Anybody seeing anything??? confused.gif Who has time to hunt yet??? confused.gif

Re: Realtree Turkey Team #6

I went out this morning after roosting some birds last night. I got into about 90-100 yards of them. They gobbled about 75 times on the roost and then flew down at 5:55am. They only gobbled about 7 times once they hit the ground. Later in the day I found a hens nest with a hen still in it. She had 17 eggs in there. It was only about 5 feet off the side or the road! Hopefully most of them will gro up to be monster longbeards! But they birds are still really henned up.

Re: Realtree Turkey Team #6

I didnt give up .. I just didnt get a turkey for myself ... we got Scotts stepdad his first turkey ever and I wanted to get Scott his first turkey with a bow but that didn't happen either ... but what really upset me this year was that I didn't get my wife out turkey hunting with me this year ... we had an event we had to go to the weekend she coulda went with me on ... our season ended last Sunday ...

Sorry for lettin the team down ... it wasn't for lack of trying though we went out every single chance we got but it just wasn't as much as we have in the past ... maybe next year will be better ...

Talk at yah later ... sorry NRA for not posting in here more ...
