Turkeygirl Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 I took a walk this AM at 7:30...was going to beat the sunrise but couldn't get to sleep last night so I turned the alarm off. Anyway nice morning, cold and little breezy. Made my way around the property, glassing the fields. Headed to check my trail cam...saw one lone hen out in a field. Get to my cam and fresh scratchings just to the right....guess that hen (hopefully more than just her though)just missed catchinge trigger on the cam. Had lots of deer photos though. Re-set the cam, same spot and continued on. Didn't see much in the way of turkey sign though up on the old gravel put I did find a big fresh turkey turd in the shape of a folded over J sooooo....And I don't think geese have been up there...sometimes there poo looks the same IMO. So there's a gobbler hanging around somewhere I'm guessing, I just hope they are hanging over on the property I hunt. Might try getting up tomorrow AM and checking out the state land...Would like to locate some birds there just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond Archer 01 Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 I am going out in a few minutes to set up our ground blind for this weekends youth season. My cousin tells me it might be a pretty hard hunt because he has not been seeing very many turkeys there this year even though we saw a ton of them there last season.

Strut10 Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 They have a knack for staying scarce at times. I know for a fact that there are 6-8 gobblers (including jakes) roosting within earshot of my front porch every night. Yesterday morning I took the puppy out to pee at prime gobbling time and you coulda heard a pin drop. Nothing. Go figger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Gobble-zilla is just waitin' to make some noise when you get out there with more than binos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
