dbHunterNY Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 So this weekend was a bust. Saturday morning brought pouring rain and then at 8am I had to leave with my dad to go to an auction. I had to get a mower for all this lawn I might get with the house I'm purchasing. Sunday morning brought 30mph winds the whole morning. I used the windy conditions to still hunt around the whole place and glassed the open fields when I came to them. I saw all the same hens in there usual nesting areas. Woodchucks weren't even out of there holes. The hens didn't stay out in the open long either. Better luck next weekend, maybe. It's going to be busy though so I don't know if I'll be able to get much hunting in, especially when we can only hunt until noon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiteRunner Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Them birds just don't want to cooperate with you dbHunter! Hopefully they'll start clicking though. I tagged my 2nd gobbler this morning. He's not as big as the first, he's like in between a Jake and a Tom. Lol I'm happy with him non the less! Pics coming later.

JackedUpZ71 Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Well guys, it looks like I struck out this season. Called in two nice toms for some friends of mine, and they were able to seal the deal. I only could manage to go for myself about four times. Even though I wasn't able to get on one myself it was still a lot of fun. The birds were hammering just about every morning, but I guess the neighbors pasture was just a little greener than ours.

fenderhunt4 Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 I'm finally getting my bird from a few weeks ago added to the contest. Sorry it has taken so long. I also was able to get another nice tom on the last weekend of the season. Had a lot of fun this year and it was great sharing a team with you all!

dbHunterNY Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 (edited) The turkey woods is dead quiet and action is non-existent. I believe things are to the point where if I finally find or hear one gobbler, I'll find a group of them. I've seen dozens of hens every weekend and the season isn't over with. I'll find those thunderchickens if it just about kills me! lol I can't believe that I haven't seen a single one yet!

NiteRunner Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 That's a Dandy of a bird Fender!! Congrads!! dbHunter, Man that sucks! Things were bad around here for the first several days, but then all of a sudden it started clicking. Hopefully that'll happen in your neck of the woods too! How much longer is season in for? And, I cannot get Waterfowlers pics up. He's tried sending them to me, but they won't even show in the e-mail. Not sure if its my computer or what the problem is, but maybe he can try e-mailing one of you guys and see if it works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 I'll send a PM and see if I can post them. The season here is until the end of May, so I pretty much have just this weekend and that's it. Then in NY we can only hunt until noon every day. I think I may go to another farm. There doesn't seem to be many toms on my parent's farm right now. Hopefully I'll have some luck this weekend. We'll see. The turkeys definitely aren't vocal at all. So it will probably be more of a spot and stalk or run and gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiteRunner Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Only until the end of May and only until noon, that does put you in a crunch. Here's to some Good Luck this weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 So I scouted my parent's farm this season and only one good tom was there and he's been in this one area all season. The problem was my uncle and cousin were after their first turkey, so I let them hunt that area. Well they had missed opportunities on him a few times and finally through in the towel. Well I then went after him and it seemed he'd disappeared! Well I found out why tonight. I talked with my brother and he said that he gave a buddy of his permission to hunt the farm. During the week while I was at work, the buddy came up and hunted that area and killed the tom, which is why I couldn't find him. The only specifics I got was that it had a 10" beard. In the morning I think I'm headed to another farm. I haven't scouted it at all, but I'm going to give it a shot. Maybe I'll get lucky with it being my last weekend to hunt. It's calling for a few showers so I'll pack the rain gear. I hope you all have a great Memorial Day weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 I'm eating my tag! Well it looks like I'll be eating my two spring turkey tags. Saturday morning I went to another farm that I didn't really have time to scout at all. I managed to find some nested hens, as usual. However, I did get the drop on a couple jakes. If only they were a little bigger! Sunday morning I was back at my parent's farm and late morning I found a tom. He was out in the newly seeded field with a bunch of hens. Well I managed to call all the turkeys in at once with the tom slowly in tow. Before he got within range, one of the hens must have saw something they didn't like. They all suddenly started to run off and the tom was still standing there way of range. After they were all pretty far off he finally decided he should run too and follow them. Wasn't very big but a tom and one i would've busted. that's hunting i guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiteRunner Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Darn the luck! At least it sounds like you had a little more excitement this weekend than before. I think I would have been very tempted with those jakes.... I admire your will power! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 This year I had the worst luck I know. Like I said it's what makes it hunting. I tried to get out as much as I could, but the birds started their routine early this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenderhunt4 Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 This year I had the worst luck I know. Like I said it's what makes it hunting. I tried to get out as much as I could, but the birds started their routine early this year. I agree. It was tough and the vibe I got from people hunting in our state and surrounding ones felt the same thing. I'm optomistic that there will be plenty of toms next year that didn't get harvested this year. Bring on the right "time" and it could be hot hunting next year!
