Our season ends on Friday and me and my pops have been fishing. So even though my season is done I’ll still be on here checking on you guys. Looking forward to seeing some pics of those northern birds!

We've got birds lined up for Saturday, it's just a matter if any of them are willing to commit suicide.

Going into one of the least optimistic seasons in a good while.  The birds up here ate cicadas all last summer and had a very easy winter.  Should be covered up in healthy, heavy birds.  But I'm not seeing the numbers at our place I thought I would be.

Time will tell.

After a complete flop of a morning on Saturday, today was a good day for redemption. Zsully and I have been wanting to hunt this particular little spot for quite sometime now, and luckily Z was able to speak with the Landowner to get permission. He told me yesterday that his 5 year old son wanted to go out turkey hunting with us, and of course that's absolutely going to happen. Z went and set the blind up last night, and with a good report back said that he saw a gobbler with a hen working their way in the direction of where we would be setup in the morning. Morning comes, and everyone is jacked up. Get to the blind and of course the wind had blown the blind over. Get that setup and we are situated. We were nice and cozy about 5:15, just in the nick of time considering daybreak is coming earlier. About 5:40, with plenty of light for turkeys to see, I hear a 4 wheeler coming. Sure enough, two guys come in from a neighboring property and start walking in our direction. GOOOOBBBLLEEE!! First gobbles ring out. Im looking out the back window, and these dudes are stopped about 80 yards away, and I know they see us. I throw a wave to make sure, and they walk away from us to setup about 130-150 yards away. We're hearing more gobbling, so I'm glassing the trees and see what appeared to be a jake out in front of us. I watched him gobble, but we were hearing a deeper gobble a little further behind him. I throw out some yelps and get some good responses. We watched the jake fly down, and we were positive the other gobbler was on the ground. I hit him with the sweet stuff and he started hammering back. Gave him a couple more yelps and zipped it. So the wait begins, but it didn't take long for Z's son to snap his arm up as the gobbler stepped out of the woods. Not sure if the gobbler saw him do that or he was being cautious of the decoys, but he was skirting them. Didn't skirt out of range though. A nice little 30 yard shot and he was flopping. I like it when you can score before work time.
