lil hunter Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 I drove by the private land I usually hunt yesturday. The field that me and my dad have killed our only 3 birds in, is planted in wheat this year. Usually it's just an overgrown mustard field, until it gets plowed. The wheat is gonna make it a little different, hopefully I'll still get a bird out of it though. We saw a group of 5 birds(at least one jake but mostly hens) a group of 3 birds, which I believe were all gobblers, a single hen, and a single tom. The last single tom was a big ol boy, and at least one of the others was pretty nice as well. So I guess I'll end up hunting that property again this year, just hopefully theres not any other guys running all over it at the same time as me.

elnor Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I didn't manage to kill the Tank, but I did get his little brother: I'll have a jake to start our points on the contest entry picture post thread as soon as I get a chance.

elnor Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Farm Field Jake in the entry thread, plus the story and pics I've entered my jake in the contest entry thread (click here to see the entry). I posted the story of the hunt, "Farm Field Jake", to the turkey forum. Click here to read it and see photos including one of the sneaky snake that just about got me...unfortunately for him, shotgun pellets are faster than copperheads! Here's the first one, me with him where he fell: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elnor Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Thanks, Jorden. How's everyone else doing? Hope you're all getting time out in the woods and fields to go after 'em. I'm making plans for this coming weekend, the final weekend of our OK turkey season (season ends May 6th). Looks like I'll be headed to western OK with family for camping, fishing, and Rio Grande hunting. I'll let you know how that turns out.

Jorden Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 My season doesnt start for 10 days yet, and bird sightings around home are minimal, so it is not looking too good right now:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jorden Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Season starts here on Wednesday:D...how is everyone else doing:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elnor Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Good luck, Jorden! Lay a big one low! As for me, my season ended last Wednesday. I hunted the last four days in western OK for Rios. I had a couple of close encounters including a big old double bearded tom strutting down a road right towards me, then veering off to the left at eighty yards to join some hens. No shots were fired, unfortunately. I'd sum up this year as wet, wet, *WET* and cold. At least here in Oklahoma, we've had just about nonstop rain and it's been about twenty degrees below normal temperature-wise. I've hunted on 18 different days and it rained/misted/fogged/thunderstormed on all but 1 of them! I don't know if it's been weather or what but the gobbling activity has been way off and it seems like most birds have been very call shy this spring. I consider myself lucky to have gotten the jake I posted a while back. Hope the weather is better for everyone still after them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorden Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 I'd sum up this year as wet, wet, *WET* Looks like the same here, rain is forcasted for all day tomorrow:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
