First day I've been out since Saturday, birds started gobbling around 6:20 and the other hunters started owl hooting about the same time :). Heard 3 birds across the road from me and was thinking just my luck, limited time this morning and I pick the wrong side of the road. Around 6:50-7am I decided to break out my wing bone and call some since my side was quiet and a bird gobbled, wasn't sure if it was close so I called again and it gobbled in a hollow to my right. I thought so you were tight lipped on the roost, let's see whatcha wanna do? Eased over to an oak that would have put him in shotgun range if he popped up in front of me and called on my crystal, he gobbled again. Called again and a few seconds later he gobbled again and was closer so as you all know gun to your shoulder. I finally hear something walking and I catch a glimpse about 50-60 yards above and the joker walked straight above me and proceeded to gobble at some crows and kept going. Got him to gobble one more time and a few minutes later he gobbled again but he had already crossed the boundary line. Sometimes I wonder why turkeys do what they do? Oh well, spied a strutter in a field across the road on my way home, second time this week I've seen him there so laying a plan for Friday AM.

Well this weekend sucked! Friday AM, nothing and Saturday AM only heard one gobble at 6:48 but he was way on someone else's property. Maybe heard another bird a little after seven but it was as if they all just vanished. I changed places around 8am and went and set up in the same field from opening day but all I got into were several good naps. The property next to where I was first thing Sat. has a big pasture and there was a group of gobblers and hens in the middle of it but unfortunately I cannot hunt it. By the way the crow flies they were probably 150-200 yards from the boundary but several hollows have to be crossed for them to come that way. Gonna try that area in the morning, had good luck there before.
