Still got my tags....

[The Bug House]

Despite working a boatload of Oscar Tango as well as a couple of 24 hour shifts at the PT job, I've been able to get out 4 mornings so far. Actually, thats not nearly as often as I had planned for my first turkey season.:bang: Anyhow, my buddy has a honeyhole of a spot. It's an old xmas tree farm that sees very little use in the way of cutting trees and absolutely no hunting pressure. The first few times we went out the gobblers were at the far end of the property towards a swampy area which, apparently, is not typically where they roost. This past Thurs morning we got there, and heard several gobbles in response to an owl hoot. This time it seemed they were in a large tree line that bisects one of the larger fields. We set up close by and began to call a little. After just a few clucks a hefty gobble seemed to come closer, although neither of us had a visual. Just then a turkey flew down from one of the trees we were under! Needless to say, that was the best chance I had. Later that morning we jumped a huge deer! And on the way to meet my friend I saw a moose on the side of the road, I think thats the first time I've seen both in such a short amount of time. Either way I've enjoyed it tremendously, and I should be able to get out at least once more. Hopefully I'll be able to post a pic of me with some feathers and a big grin. lol!
