Hopefully with better results than last week's Florida excursion. ::)
Off to hunt Maryland for 4 mornings with a famed....yet un-named....OG Forums turkey-killin' guru.
See what happens.....
Looking forward to following along!
Well...... We'll see.
4:30 gonna come early.
I have a plan. Not a GOOD plan. But, a plan. 😁

I gotta a feeling some Eastern's are in deep trouble when you hit the woods. Good luck! :turkey2: :fud:
"A Plan" is better than "No Plan". Get after em Yoder. Good Luck!
Tell yinz what....
I'm starting to get Florida flashbacks.
2 days hunting this finger ridge that is one of the "birdiest" places I've ever seen.... But, I've yet to see or hear a gobbler.
Thinking of trying another spot tomorrow. But, they really aren't gobbling anywhere right now. My famed and esteemed partner on this trip pulled one gobble out of a bird with a hooter this morning. Got in towards the bird and never got any response to calling.
It's dang tough right now.
How certain are you that you can still see and hear? ;) :toothy12:
I have faith!

I'm old.
But not THAT old. ;D
Annnnnd......
0-fer
0-fer 3
Nary a gobble, again. :-\
I cannot remember EVER spending 6 1/2 days hunting and not hearing a single gobble......
That's a tough 6 days. It sure beats work though. Keep at it Yoder

It's not you Don. I've hunted 3 days, heard one in the dark gobble where I am sure there are birds. They are in a weird phase here. Weather?, can't figure. I've hunted 19 hours in the past 3 days. They have to break soon! Good luck..
Actually heard a couple gobbling this morning. Just not in the same zip code. Public being what it is, there's 19 guys between here and either bird, so......
Stay after it, Yoder Sometimes, it becomes a war of attrition.

Our opener is this Saturday.
Watched 6 toms fly up tonight on our property. I'm hoping to give a couple of them a bad time next month.
Maryland was not nice to me last week either.. seems early up there... by far the worst experience I've had so far this year.

Fellow I was with said it was probably the worst he'd seen it in 30-ish years.
