Everyone hunting yet? Hows it going?
« on: April 23, 2018, 03:28:10 PM »
Is there anyone still waiting on their season to start? Hows every ones season going? Aside from my opening day success its been tough for me. Hunted day light to noon the last two days and heard total of 5 gobbles. Crazy for the amount of miles I put on. Expect things to get better come May.

Other than youth season I have been out twice so far. Once with my grandad and once solo. Killed pretty quickly in Md And slid over to Wv and almost killed another. He pulled a move one on me that I have never seen before. He aproached to about 80 yards surveyed the scene and flew into a tree for a better view before leaving. The woods are still really open and I didn't have much to work with. This coming weekend is gonna be trying to get one for the boy and after that I am burning a weeks vacation and getting serious. Not a lot of gobbling after they fly down but haven't had to much difficulty finding and getting a response.

It's shaping up to be the worst turkey season I can remember. Cold, Rainy, Windy and few turkeys. I think I heard a single gobble Saturday, the only gobble I've heard in 6 hunts. The only gobbler I have seen was strutting about 60 yards off the highway.
Spring turkey hunting, I love it so.                FREEDOM IS NOT FREE

 last week the weather was terrible.  Cold,  rain,  snow,  wind.  I killed one Tuesday and missed 2. Not proud of that.  Going to try and take next week off. Hope to tag out in WV and then hit Ohio.

Had some friends up from Louisiana and headed to western Kansas for some Rios.  Sparse vegetation and tree cover and henned up birds made it tough.  Worked a ton of birds but seemed to do something wrong on each one.  I stayed back and let them go, may have got too aggressive on wide open plains birds, bumped way too many.  Buddy's dad did take this nice one who worked well.
