MadHuntinPastor Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Re: Gun\'n For Gobbles #20 [ QUOTE ] Anybody having any luck? [/ QUOTE ] Yup....... Bad luck!! This was gonna be my year to bag my first bird. I knew it. I had so many close chances. Two diff. birds had hens with them and didn't come closer than 70 yards. Got to watch them strut around. This week on Thursday about killed me though. I blew it and it is on video. It will be great for our show, but I still feel awful about it. We happened upon a gobble when approaching a field. Called and got nothing back. After waiting in silence got another gobble. We waited and got nothing. So we snuck through the woods to peak into the field. 6-7 birds were out pretty far feeding and working away from us. I called and boom a big ole fan puffs up. We watch them for awhile and notice two more fans as they walk away. We were trying to figure out were they would go next when a truck pulled onto the farm road and we watched the birds spook to the left. We decided to run through the woods to cut them off at the corner of the field and the river. Climbing through mud and getting stuck up to our knees we finally made it to the field. Sitting for over an hour soft calling we thought they may have gone across the river. We stood up to glass the field when all of a sudden I see a hen coming. We quickly sit down and then the show started. 5 longbeards round the corner following this hen. One goes into strut for us. They were all mature birds and I should have waited for a nice close shot if one came in. Unfortunately I didn't range the distance and thought they were closer and took a way long shot and spooked them all away. I feel sick about it!!! Season ended today and I have nothing. This is the close of my third season with no bird. Help me out yall. I need a little bit of encouragement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiteRunner Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Re: Gun\'n For Gobbles #20 Well guys I hate to say it but my seasons over. Sorry I couldn't add to the score. This was the first year since I've gotton my first turkey that I haven't tagged one in. Kind of depressing until I think about all that happened during the season. Lots of good times that I may have missed had I tagged out and not hunted everyday. I'll post more details later all. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiteRunner Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Re: Gun\'n For Gobbles #20 You got that Right! Wouldn't you know it though, my Dad passes our hunting locations on his way to work and there was 2 big long beards where we waited all morning for last week, then 6 in another field we hunt, don't know what they were though.
