Best Morning this season!!!

[MazeNBlu3]

Me and a friend went out this morning trying to fill his tag, I was the caller and he was the shooter. We got set up and I hit the owl hoot at 430, maybe 10 secs later it was answered by somewhere between 6 and 10 gobblers. We had a hard time trying to pinpoint where they were with that many birds. For the next hour and a half they all sounded off and answered the few calls I threw out. Then it came time to leave the woods and head to work. My buddy was mad he didn't fill his tag. I like taking birds as much as the next guy but what i really love is the birds gobbling first thing in the morning and the feeling it brings waiting for them to come out.

As I have gotten older/mature, I have learned that is not all about the kill but instead the experience of watching the woods come alive and all that nature has to offer. Getting a bird is just a bonus...

My buddy was mad he didn't fill his tag.

Maybe look for a new buddy. Or teach him some mornings they gobble, some they don't.  Some mornings it rains.  Some are cold.  If luck is with you, maybe you shoot a turkey.  BUT!! They are all great mornings to be alive.

Just love being out there

Sure I've been disappointed a lot of times but not mad.  Sounds like someone needs a better perspective.

Turkey hunting is all about the excitement. Shooting the bird is the easy part.
we all know we can do that. I'd much rather have an exiting hunt with no kill then when some lonely quiet gobbler walks in
and I pop him. I always say if it was about the meat we can all go get a purdue for about 10 bucks as apposed to the thousands we spend to chase em around.

Glad you had a good morning.

Were both fairly new to turkey hunting, this is my second full season and his third. I'm all about the chase and being outside. He's a freezer hunter and wall mount hunter. Everyone is entitled to there own set of guide lines right.
