Title: GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE!!!
Post by: new2turkey on April 11, 2011, 07:08:56 AM
this morning was awesome!!


I got up at 4, with a thunder storm rolling in. I got all my stuff ready and went out in full camo and brought a flash light and an owl hooter.

I'm sitting down on top of a 30 foot sand pile, wishing I had got up about 45 minutes later.... It didn't start to get light out until 5:30.   :begging:

I'm using my owl hooter every 15-20 minutes, but don't get a response...

I'm thinking I'm not gonna hear anything after about 45 minutes..

Finally the thunder starts... I'm listening, and thought I heard a gobble, but figured it was me hearing what I wanted too  :bike2:

Another 30 seconds pass, and then another roll of thunder... A bird fires off no more than 75 yards away!!!  :toothy12:


Another roll of thunder, the same bird fires off.

But the next time the thunder sounded, there were 2. And then there were 3, and then there were 5-6!!

I also began to hear a few hens yelping, but didn't get to wait until flydown because it started to pour.


At this point, I don't even care if I shoot a bird, because I found my own sweet spot with plenty of gobblers and I'm hearing them fire off, a first for me!!

My first year and I'm on birds!!!

3 more weeks.... Come on May!!!!! :jackson:


Sorry for rambling guys, but I am PUMPED!!

Nothing to be sorry about there.  It is one of the most exhilarating things you can experience in the woods.    :anim_25:
