Still no movement ....I'm getting restless and annoyed at these birds. My son wants to stay until noon. I don't think I can make it that long not seeing anything. Sent with Tapatalk on my Samsung Galaxy 4

Same here with my son. Sitting for an hour and heard some distant gobbles. Waiting patiently. This time put out a Jake and hen decoy hoping the Jake will bring them in. That is of course if they show their ugly faces. Sent with Tapatalk on my Samsung Galaxy 4

All settled in for another sit with my son. 65 degs and light breeze. Birds are chirping, frogs are croaking ..... I know I forgot something. ..damn I need coffee!!!!! Sent with Tapatalk on my Samsung Galaxy 4

We heard a few early on and talked with them for a while but then they clammed up as it got too windy. Did not see any today and only one shot from the neighboring property. Son wanted to come in at 9 so we did. It was discouraging not seeing anything but the time spent with him was more enjoyable than the hunt itself. Sent with Tapatalk on my Samsung Galaxy 4

Been sitting since 5am. Few distant gobbles. Talked to one for about 30 mins but no progress. Sent with Tapatalk on my Samsung Galaxy 4

Back in our blind with my hunting partner for life since 4:45 am. Slight breeze about 59 deg. Birds are chirping. Bring it on!! Sent with Tapatalk on my Samsung Galaxy 4

It absolutely is about the time I spend with him. As far as I'm concerned, if I can make it happen that he connects then, well that's just the gravy. My plan is to let him tag out if possible. I told him that if only one bird comes in each morning they are both his. If two come in together at one time, we will try to take one each. He's already asking about deerhunting this fall.....I would say he is hooked.

Finally made it back up to the house for another round with the thunder chickens. This time we plan on using the hen decoys to bring them in closer. Hopefully we will put 2 down between us by Sunday morning. Sent with Tapatalk on my Samsung Galaxy 4

My son wants to stay in the blind until 12. I'm taking a nap. Told him to wake me if he sees something. Sent with Tapatalk on my Samsung Galaxy 4

Congrats. Still working on our first. Sent with Tapatalk on my Samsung Galaxy 4

Called in a huge Tom from a good 200 yds away and he hung up about 60 yds to our left out of view. He sat there for a good 30 mins and then headed into the woods behind us. Then a Jake pops out about 60 yds and heads the other way. Nothing else since then. Sent with Tapatalk on my Samsung Galaxy 4

Back at it since 5am in the blind. Watched and listened the woods wake up. Had many gobbles early. Lots of cackels. Now its quiet. 2 gobblers were singing like dual banjos. Sent with Tapatalk on my Samsung Galaxy 4

Awesome!! Congrats to your friends! Sent with Tapatalk on my Samsung Galaxy 4

Ugh! Don't let him get discouraged. It happens to the best of us. I prepped my son on the ride up that this year may not be like his first time last year shooting a Tom. We may be successful but told him don't expect it because if you expect it and it does not happen it is very upsetting. I know it's even harder when it's in his sites and misses. I would have him do some practice to pattern his gun as a way of keeping him at it. My son was shaking when he saw a Tom following a hen about 50 yds out. Is there a such thing as Tom Fever? Lol.

Just had another hen out to 50 yds. Tom following behind clucking but he went another direction. My son was shaking. Lol. Love it! Sent with Tapatalk on my Samsung Galaxy 4

In our blind. Heard a few gobbles earlier. Called one in but it was out of site. Came to about 75 yds and started moving away. Scant gobble since then. Going to wait it out but how the heck do you get a 14yo to stop moving? Hen just walked past us 10 yds saw movement and tool off. Sent with Tapatalk on my Samsung Galaxy 4
