Turkeygirl Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 So went back to the state land down near where the bird gobbles yesterday morning. Maybe around fly down time I heard a "hen" a bit of a ways away calling....thought maybe a hunter but I'm not sure because it sounded fairly real and was moving around and stopped. When Icouldn't sit any longer, I got up. Walked towards where I heard them yesterday and found a ton of fresh scratchings from yesterday! Lots of fresh and old scratchings. I set-up in a new spot and called but there was someone else up on the hill above me calling...sounded like a box call and it only called like every ten minutes. It seems like a decent spot and with all the scratchings (I found a wing feather to), that gobbler should be around. Should I keep hunting this area in hopes of a bird coming in? Even though tomorrow is Saturday, I'll still give it a go. Hopefully not too many other hunters. It was 30 degrees this morning compared to 40 yesterday morning so I'd guess that shut the birds up.

Bachflock Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 How far up the hill was the other guy - you'll be competeing for the same birds. If the distances is acceptable I'd sure head back out there... especially with fresh and old sign being in the same spot. It sounds like you'd have the better set-up.

2labs Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 I haunted this morning , had a heavy frost and they were gobbleing at 5:10 in the pitch black but no luck . Had one a ways down and I will try for him tomorrow, to far to go as I had to be at work at 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other guy was closer to the top of the hill near the pipe line it sounded like...at least 150+ yards away....No one down in the bottom which is where most of the old and new sign seems to be.

Guest psefirestormlite Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 I would go for it... Just have some orange in your pocket or a wistle if you think somebody is hunting you. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeygirl Posted May 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Seems like alot of good sign in there if no one pushes the turkeys out. I'm gonna try to hunt for several hours there tomorrow...though if I make it up back tonight and hear that gobbler again, I'll give him a go.

Bachflock Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Sounds like the right idea to me. 150 isn't all that far away but if the geography of the land sounds like it might play in your favor. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
