got in close at 4:30 to where i thought bird was. didn't want to play or was killed yesterday. rain held off until 7:30. high winds, low 50s, beautiful mid-may turkey hunting weather
heard 2 birds gobbling next ridge over and they gobbled consistently for over an hour. should've headed that way right away. as soon as we got to where we were close enough to work them i set the tent and gear down. slowly worked our way over and around the knob of the field. i didn't see anything. i go to start setting up and my nephew saw 3 birds fly into the woods. he thought they were jakes, but the gobbles i heard weren't jakes. they mustve been in the long green grass along the woodline and i just didn't see them.
if only we'd of stopped 30 seconds earlier.......
had one hen come in close when we were in the blind(rained like crazy from 7:30 to 10:30). and saw a huge coyote. had to be 50lbs at least
