pointing_dogs_rule Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Good luck on those birds...Jesse. Get in there real early, just in case you spook therm on the roost they will have time to settle down before flying down. Good luck to all the dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slash Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 How did it go Jesse? Can't wait to hear how you did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesse8953 Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 No luck! Sunday afternoon I sat a ground blind up in the feild 60 yards from where I usually sit.I didn't want to spook the turkeys off the roost.Got in the blind at 5:15A.M.There was 1 gobbler and a hen roosted farther back on the creekline.There was lots of gobbling going on in the woods beside me.The hen started to per,cut,and yelp and just plain going off.I had 4 longbeards walk down the creekline gobbling and seen 1 strutter out of the bunch[60 yards away].They were on a mission to find that hen.That was at 6:55a.m. If I would have been sitting where I usually do[shot 1 of my gobblers last year at] the 4 longbeards would have walked over my legs.They went on the other side of the creek and I had to run back to my truck so I could get to work on time.I hope I have better luck tomarrow.I got a new plan,I hope it works,just not much time for errors when I can only hunt 40 min. before work.I plan on getting to my spot by 4:45A.M.That is all for today,now I got to go to bed!

pointing_dogs_rule Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 First day for me. Hunted with the muzzleloader. Heard lots of tome but they went to the south and I had to be at work by 8 am. I will hunt the same area tomorrow only a different location. good luck to all the dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointing_dogs_rule Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Seeing birds, however, they are out of range and non-response. I will try hard this weekend. Have a tip on some birds that have not been hunted. How's everyone else doing?? good luck to all the dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaCoyote Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Last weekend was a bust. The birds in my area were ice cold but we did locate an area that looks like it's holding a good bear by the size of the shat we found. Apparently everywhere else in the state the birds were on fire. LOL. Anyways didn't go out today due to the wind and work being so hectic. I'll be hitting it tomorrow for sure. Still have about 5 weeks left. Talk to you all soon. Congrats to those who got one and good luck to all the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pointing_dogs_rule Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Wyoming Merriam I took a trip to Wyoming and bagged this really nice Merriam. It is my first ever. I was told that he was probably a 3 year old. Complete story to come later. 21 lbs, 3/4 inch spurs, 8 1/4 inch beard. (approx meas.). After an 11 hour drive I'm headed to bed. good luck to all the dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slash Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Sorry to hear about your bad luck SourthenILdeerhunter, and congrats Pointing Dogs Rule on your bird. Tomorrow morning marks the start of my 5day season. I got permission to hunt a spot where there's been sightings, as of tonight in fact, just before dusk. So I'll be heading in early tomorrow morning. I'll update around 10:15 (breaktime at work lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jesse8953 Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Great job slash! Sorry team, no points from me.I just got back from Kansas,had some close calls but no luck.I had to deal with storms and tornadows all week.I don't think I will ever live in south central Kansas.To many bad storms for me.It was a great experiance and I had lots of fun!Leaving Ohio and not knowing where to go or what to expect in Kansas was a adventure in itself.Today,I got back in enough time to hunt the last evening in Ohio and got busted going in the woods and coming out too.This season was bad, because of no birds, but great because of the experiances I had.It's like my nephew told me,"Uncle Jesse-it's called hunting not killing." Good luck to all of you and the rest of your seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointing_dogs_rule Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Jesse: Glad that you had a great trip to Kansas. I can relate to those trips. I have taken a lot of those trips. Often with no success, however, they are always enjoyable and I use them as building experiences. After many trips I now have many quality places to hunt turkey and deer away from Iowa. Most importantly I have met some of the nicest people in the world out west. Many great memories. Remember: build on those trips for future trips. good luck to all the dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaCoyote Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Well guys, I'm out. No luck this year. What a terrible season. The weather was terrible for a lot of the season and when it wasn't the birds just werent talking. I've never seen a year like this and I'm sure sorry. On two weekends of helping my friend with his bear hunt we heard 1 gobble but saw 23 bears. It was a great spring for bears but terrible for turkeys. Buddy didn't shoot a bear. He passed on several dinks, missed a giant, and a medium blacky gave us the slip on the last day. Anyways sorry I didn't contribute, but thats the way it goes sometimes I guess.
