Title: S.E. MN Gobbler
Post by: notsure on April 25, 2015, 06:35:07 PM
Hi Everyone.  I'm new here,  so thank you for welcoming me to your forum.  Anyway, I managed to kill a great gobbler during MN's Season B, this past Thurs. (4/23) morning.  I managed to keep a hen in my decoy spread, and eventually, she brought this guy within 35 yards of my position.  He weighed 24 lb., 5 oz., had 1 inch and 7/8 inch spurs and a 9.5 inch beard.

Not much, but I do hunt on 450 acres of private land.  I heard one shot on Tues., and one on Thurs., both very early.

24lbs - Wow. I never broke the 20lb mark in NY. Congrats.

Honestly, birds over 20 lb. aren't that uncommon in this part of the state.  And this particular gobbler likely was only a 2 year old.

Congrats on a fine bird.  I'm heading that way this weekend.  Are the birds pretty henned up or are they fairly responsive?

Crappieangler...

The birds were fairly quiet this season, at least where I was hunting.  For example, I had three jakes come into my spread on Wed., and they didn't make a sound the entire time they hung out (~ 30 min.).  The bird I killed gobbled a few times behind me and then simply appeared out of seemingly no where, making a bee line for the live hen.  Now keep in mind that the weather was terrible during Season B, a situation you likely will not have to deal with.

Congrats on your bird.  I used to hunt the Northeastern Corner of Iowa, and I had friends who would put in for Minnesota.  They hunted in Houston County I think it was, and it was beautiful country.
