    Live From The Woods 2020 Turkey Edition

    in Turkey Hunting

    Figured I take a little stroll with the bow in 3S...kicked a huge bodied deer near where I enter, cross a little creek and see multiple turkey 75 yards away and walking slowly away through some tall grass. I figured my best bet would be to try and bust ass parallel to them and try to cut them off if they are headed where I think they are headed. Find a tree and set up behind it and hit the box call - sort of sounds like a sound a turkey would make?!? No response.

    Would they return to the area where I originally move them from(presumably their roosting site)?Do I go back that way OR move deeper presuming I didn’t cut them off? OR don’t cut bait and slip out now to try and return another day pre-fly down- not looking to “jerky” out- just wondering if I would be pressuring them too much by staying here now when they know I am here

    I think they will come back. I don't believe they feel pressure like deer

    My day was just made! Saw a doe laying down about 150 yards away in the field. Then I noticed 2 very wet and wobbly fawns trying stand up! She's licking them and they are nursing too. Awesome sight! Going to sit here and keep an eye on them for a while, hope a turkey comes out to see it too!

    That's awesome, I would be good if I didnt see one after that.

    This is my fourth morning turkey hunting and I am pretty sure I am hooked for life now. Had a rooster gobbler at about 150 yards on the other side of the property line this morning. He must have gobbled 20 times in a half hour span but I could not get to come my way. 5 minutes or so I think I found out why. 2 hens flew down to my right and beelined straight to him. I finally got eyes on him at a full strut, still on the other side of the line though. He met up with his ladies and went down the other side of the ridge and out of my life. 
    While all this was happening, two deer walked within 10 feet of me. To my left and were either not aware of me or just didn't care. They just casually walked by grazing the ridge, not a care in the world. 
    All that makes that 4 AM alarm worth it.
     
     
    Hang out, he will remember you are there and come back when his ladies leave to sit on the nest

    A cool crisp morning for sure and dammit it’s getting lighter early.

    Not a gobble yet which continues to perplex me. The farmers did finally till they fields which were fallow last year.

    Anyone have history on what a turkey would do with that? Part of me is happy because the weeds were getting high making it hard to get a decent setup and also knowing they’ll plant something for the deer is a good sign. Just don’t know if they’ll come out to a freshly tilled field or if it will help, hurt or not matter at all.

    I would think it would bring them in so they could do some bugging and scratching.
