WHISKEYSWAMP Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 My season opens on Monday! I'm heading down to southern Ohio this weekend to scout a place out for the following weekend. It's owned by a friend of a buddy of mine so I have no idea what to expect... he says it's loaded with birds. I finally saw a small flock behind the house but only seen 3 jakes in the group, I'm sure there is a tom around somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHISKEYSWAMP Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 well... they followed the hens and went the other direction on property I don't have permission to hunt... they were gobbling their heads off though. I would have stuck around if I didn't have to come into work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamoGuy Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Got us one this morning team. 10 7/8 beard spurs 1" and 3/4" weighed 21 pounds which is my heaviest turkey. He is also my first ublic land bird im still excited but gotta run to class will post pics and story when i get back Excellent!!! First blood has been drawn and that is a beautiful bird I got a bird today as soon as I get the realtree form printed out to fill out I will post up in the score board. It was 26.4lbs, 9 13/16 beard and 11/16 spurs. The score is 59.775 Holy cow!!! 26 pounds???!!!! That is a frickin' monster, great bird!!!!!! ---------------------------- I just want to let everyone know that I am still around. Our season here starts 1 week from today so there hasn't been much to report. I am in college and my finals week is the 2nd week of season so I have been trying to get all of my written assignments done prior to next week so I can concentrate on hunting all of next week with no interruptions. The first gobbler I see will most likely not be mine. My 15 year old son is going to give turkey hunting a try and I am taking him with me so I expect that the first mature gobbler to show it's head will be his. On the upside, my favorite hunting grounds has numerous mature birds so I actually have my hopes up for a very good season. It has been raining off and on for the last 2 days so I am going to do some driving and glassing fields today in hopes of spotting some birds in new locations to hunt.

Turkeygirl Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Way to go Hoyt, congrats!! We are doing awesome team! Season starts thursday hear, can't hunt till Saturday, so I'm just gonna keep praying no one hunts the private land I'm aiming to hunt Saturday...which usually I don't run into anybody, maybe one day out of the season I'll see someone. There's a jake or a possible bearded hen with my name on it! I'd love to get a big ol' gobbler, but I'll take what the Lord sends my way. Gotta get my gun clean and my vest set-up:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CamoGuy Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Congrats on the bird hoytbowhunter!!! Things have been horrible here. Our season opened Monday but it might as well have been closed. After 2 weeks of nice balmy, warm weather it turned nasty Saturday night. Rain, wind and cold continued all the way until 6AM Tuesday morning. I didn't even go out Monday because of thunderstorms passing thru. I went out Tuesday in the rain and snow mixture. The rain let up right before daylight. Winds kicked up and were between 10 and 20 MPH all day. I hunted some valley pockets I know of where the wind couldn't reach hoping the birds would seek shelter from the wind there. Saw some scratching in the leaves but never saw or heard anything. Wednesday was a perfect morning (or so I thought). Kind of cold but no wind, sunny, just seemed right. Me and my son were out at first light. Hunted til mid-morning. Never heard a peep. We hiked about 4 miles calling ever 200-300 yards and never struck a single bird. Didn't hear a single shot all morning either so I guess it wasn't just us having a bad day of hunting. I am going out again today but not until after I take the kids to school. Hoping the birds are warmed up some this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
