I find it very interesting watching this hen. She knows enough to cover the nest with leaves and twigs to hide it while she is away, and she covers herself with leaves while she is sitting to camouflage herself! https://youtu.be/jKqqM1ZagMg https://youtu.be/_Q7UMAYY6yo

Not live from the turkey woods but it was live from my turkey back yard! https://youtu.be/AZel8ZplIFg The hen has laid 13 eggs and started sitting on the nest most of today! I'm not sure if she is sitting on the nest over night as I don't want to disturb her. I will check the camera tomorrow when I'm sure she is up and feeding.

I came close this morning! I'm back in little valley and at first light I hear a gobble below on the neighbors piece. I worked to the pl and called, boom! 5 minutes later I see a hen coming my way calling, so I mimicked her and she came right in with another hen and 2 LB's. I got them all grouped together at 35 yds so I can't shoot. Sure as s#*t she flanks me and takes them all into the open field behind me. I watched some good turkey porn for a couple of minutes! At 9 I had 2 LB's come to the edge of the field gobbled 2x, I'm sure they could see my decoys but they wouldn't come in. SOB! Going to Baltimore for the long weekend, so I'm done until next Wednesday. Good luck to all this weekend!

I'm in the win column! Went to Farmersville, 1st time this year. Bumped 3 off the roost walking up the hill, sat down and waited, heard a hen about 50 yds away so I called back and forth with her until she came looking for me. This guy followed her a little too close!

Only had 1 gobble 2x to the crows first thing. I walked right up till noon, never heard another bird. Hopefully I'll get back out on Saturday?

In little valley, set up on a field were they usually come to by 7? We'll see!

Sounds like we need to team up on that bird. If we set up on opposite sides of the roost site he should come by 1 of us? I'm willing to give it a try. Or at least my calling will send him running to yours! LOL

Lawd, what do you do to pattern your turkey gun? I know you must have done it several times. If you really need help I think Tacks is on the right course! I'm sure a night at the Academy will fix you right up! I will be there just to hold up that damn target!

One more egg laid today! I've been very careful not to disturb the nest. I only check it out when I know she's moved on feeding. I don't know how she is going to be able to sit on that nest for 28 days without me bumping her? I will have to cut my lawn eventually!

I think it's great that he still hunts at 94 yrs old. But as for the unused tag he can have tag soup just like the rest of us!

I have a new never worn pair of woman's hockey pants size L. I listed them on craigslist. I know there are some guys on this site that have kids in hockey. here's the link. https://buffalo.craigslist.org/spo/d/buffalo-hockey-pants/6887138518.html

Global warming! go figure!

The hen came back today around 2 PM. Laid another egg. I'm going to get a camera on the nest asap.

I read yesterday that a hen will lay eggs even if she hasn't been bred? I'm not sure that's true but I did read it on the internet!

On Mothers Day? Really?
