This will be my thread, I'll report on it the rest of the way. I'm ready to get going and looking forward to the Teams Turkey Talk.
It is time for a little chatter, our team page has been quiet. Now you killahhhZ need to start laying em down and acting like champions again! Most of us will be at it really soon and it's time to get on a great run. Monday will be my turn at the plate. The week of weather looks pretty decent. Have fun and hunt safe everyone.
Let's Rock :you_rock:
Happy Easter Sunday to ALL my OG brothers!
:cross2:
Trackey, I was going to post the same thing today. I guess great minds think alike! This will be a good thread for our team to post stories or kills that were not an upgrade.
Thursday 4/17-
After a pretty good roost hunt yesterday in a different area, I went back to where I killed the bird on Sunday today. I had high hopes as it was 33°, calm, and clear. I got in there pretty early, and while listening from my high point, I heard an early gobble down below me and started the hike down in. As I got closer, I was hearing somewhere between five and six different birds, but they sounded on different property. As I was listening, I could hear a hen about 50 yards in front of me up in a tree doing soft tree yelps. She had every single one of those birds answering her. I felt like that would be a good place to set up, right behind her.
I thought at one point that I had heard a much closer gobble down over the hill, but I was not certain. Anyway, once I could tell it was fly down, I started letting out a series of pretty aggressive yelping and some cuts. She immediately started answering me and I heard a gobble down below me. Within 30 seconds, a gobble about knocked me out out of my seat. All of a sudden, I see five turkeys running up the hill right to me. I suddenly became worried that it was just a group of jakes.
Within seconds, these birds were 30 yards in front of me. In the low light, I thought I could see a long beard on the lead bird. All of a sudden he went into full strut, spitting and drumming at 30 yards but he was in some brush. At that point, I knew he was a mature bird and stayed fixated on him.
He made it easy for me and walked 5 yards closer into an opening before I shot him at 25 yards. He ended up being a two-year-old but had a really nice thick beard on him. He was not an upgrade. Just an awesome and exciting hunt. One more Va tag that I'll likely try and stretch out the season with as well as Pa.

Is that Bclarke you're referring to? I'm always looking for new calls.
Yes correct, bclarke from our team.
Oakland game calls is the name. I've probably killed my last 10 birds using his mouth calls.
I think he only advertises on Facebook and does not have a website. But I just get my calls directly from him.
