Can Anyone Top This?

Sorry my only competition is the next turkey that I encounter in the woods!

2016 I bagged my 1st bird very early 1st morning.
Hunted the rest of the season, same place, lots of birds, but most days I couldn't buy a gobble.
Very strange year in PA last year.
I usually have good action later in the season, late morning.
Not last year. The most I could get was a courtesy gobble a few times.
Very tough year.

Sam, I didn't know you and I hunted together before.

When the birds wanna work they work... Turkeys of having a way of making you think they you are a great hunter and horrible one.


I've had great runs and slumps

After I went 6 for nine I thought I had this turkey thing whipped. How wrong I was! Reality hit me not to long after. My personal record I am proudest of is that every year for 24 years I have enjoyed every spring morning it has been my privilege to be in the woods. Sometimes I kill a bird, more often not. I still look forward to the next hunt with the same enthusiasm.

Congrats to your buddy. 10 in a row is strong. I'm currently on a 4 bird streak. Last day I hunted last year and all three mornings this year I have killed a mature gobbler. This year, all three have been down before 8:15 am. I was on a good streak in 2009-2011 and was feeling like I was a great turkey hunter. Then came 2012. I hunted about 15-20 days and never pulled the trigger. I worked at least 6 different gobblers and just couldn't get it done. It was very humbling and frustrating, but it was also probably the best thing for me. I had become so focused on killing a bird that I forgot to just enjoy the experience of being in the woods.
Since then, I have had a better time just hunting.
Another cool streak I had was going two full deer seasons seeing at least one deer every hunt.

I have killed a bird on the last Wednesday of the FL season for 4 out of the last 6 years.  Today was one.  Last year I was already done, so never got a chance.  2 of those years tagged me out and two of those was the only one I killed.
