Title: Got a VA bird this morning.
Post by: WVhuntEER on April 14, 2011, 03:50:15 PM
Hadn't been gobbling much where I hunt until today.   My dad got one opening day that weighed in at 24 #!  These suckers are fat this year!



21# 9 1/2 inch beard   1 inch spurs

Hey thats where I've been hunting!  Man it has been tough.  What little bit gobbling has been on the roost.  I've actually heard more in the evening than the morning.  Called up hens everyday though

It's been very tough.  Birds just aren't gobbling much at all around me.   I got close to this one on the roost after he gobbled a couple of times. and got him as soon as he flew down with some soft yelps.  My dad went today and had the opposite, he heard gobbling like crazy but couldn't do anything with them.   It's crazy how you can hunt the same farm and have different things going on.   I think it's going to be better in the next week or so from what we've seen.   Good luck!
