Watched Ol Tom fly down this morning. He has been a cantankerous SOB. Have had him inside 100 yards 3 times. I should have given up on him and moved on, but we only get better by playing the best. I repositioned on him 3 times today and he would not move that last 75 yards, just like the last 3 times I messed with him. As I as moving one last time and the clock was winding down, I encountered another hunter heading for him-coyote. Too fast of a view for a shot and I still had hopes of getting him. Oh well, he won and hopefully I can get on him next year.
But since I am just not satisfied with the game this year, I think we are heading to overtime. I got an invite in GA on a ranch, so I will make the drive (I live just south of the line - it is 15 miles from my office, so I can do some early morning hunts before work).
Good luck everyone still hunting and hope all who are finished had a fun season - I know I did.
Hey. That's tough luck. But that's turkey hunting. And you know what, it happens too all. And in the long run, it only made you a better turkey hunter. Good luck brother
Good luck in GA!
Yep, get up there chase you a Georgia bird. I would love to go up and get one more weekend. Good luck to ya.
Where are you headed to in Georgia?
Don't feel bad, I've had yotes bust my last two hunts. Worst part was both were just out of range for me to do anything about it. It happens, and I'm sure it won't be the last time.
