Squirrelhunter91 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Looks like it'll finally be a weekend without rain here in NY. This turkey season has been terrible with rain. It's really put us weekend hunters out of commission. But I have a 5 day weekend starting tomorrow so we'll see if I can't knock one down. Good luck to everyone else who's still hunting!!!

PA_RIDGE_RUNNER Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Hey Joe it is the same thing here in PA. Went out this morning, it started to rain and I just turned around and came home. Man I have got wet so many times this season and the turkeys have shut up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrow32 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Joe I feel your pain. It has rained here it seems like every day since season has opened. This coming weekend is the last chance I'll have until fall to bust a bird. Can't complain tho it has been awesome hunting and I've called in alot of birds and heard a ton. Good luck to ya'll.

maytom Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Joe, I'll be out friday and saturday mornings myself. I was out yesterday hunting with a buddy of mine and it was very windy and cold. Must of put a damper on the gobbling activity, because we never heard a peep all morning long!! Good luck on #2!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I was planning on going out this AM...got up at 4am and it was windy! So I went back to bed. Planning to go out Sat.

western NY bowhunter Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Took my little brother out this morning... We roosted three big 'ole longbeards with 4 hens last night. All 3 of them hammered in the tree from 5:20-5:50 when they flew down. To make a long story short, one of them came sneaking in on us and the other two hung up and were taken away by hens. He strutted/gobbled out in the field for 20 minutes @40 yds or so. Problem was, we were set up anticipating the birds to come down a logging road in the opposite direction. After 15 minutes or so...he finally started acting spooky and began walking away. I told my brother to hurry and get swung around on him if he was gonna get a shot. He did manage to get a shot off but it was a rushed one. Fortunately, it was a "good" clean miss and the bird took off flying like a "streak of you know what". Dang, that was one monster longbeard...! Moral is...get out there. The birds are still willing and looking for women. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeygirl Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Any luck today? I went over to the new piece of land...heard one gobble like 4 times on another hill top way off the land...that was it. Trying to decide if I've got the energy to go to the state land tonight and try to roost one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrelhunter91 Posted May 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 I ended up sneaking up on a jake and calling him in about a 100 yards or so. I missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
