These Toms have made their annual Roost shift over to our property now, our small 12 acres. They roost up on the ridge we have. They come and roost seldom before Mid May. But fairly regularly once Mid May hits.. They' toms usually stay and at least be vocal into Early Mid June.. We also have 3/4 acres of Clovers in our plot that they'll feast in once the sun hits them. Any who after successfully roosting a bird on our lease, we got back to camp at last light and a bird gobbled to the slam of the truck door.. letting us know he was up on our ridge, Roosted was Roasted.. Bird pitched down, and met his demise a few moments later.. My brother in Law tagged his first ever Longbeard by 545am
Nice picture

Pouring rain when i got to the farm. Didn't want to get out of the truck. No gobbles from the roost so started sneaking and peaking. Heard a distant gobble and moved closer. Set my lone hen decoy out and called. He heard me and was coming. Turned out to be 4 two year old birds. Came right to me. First one that stands still was going to get it. And he did. Wasn't the big boys on the farm but I'll take a two year old every time. Very excellent hunt. Plenty of time to hunt for big boy.

Tagged out this morning. Good bird. 9" beard. 19 1/2 lbs.
He flew off roost and walked off with hen last weekend. I heard him gobble on roost last night. Snuck into his woods at 5am. He gobbled at 60 yards away. Perfect. Then a hen that I didn't know was there yelped right in between us. He flew down and she flew down to him. Shut up and walked away. Kept a eye on him all morning in the field. He'd answer but not leaving hens. About 11am I heard him gobble at other end of the field,back I go. Field had a crown to it. I called once in he came. Long morning and great hunt. Otsego County. Leatherstocking country.

A little chilly scouting this morning but productive. Heard quite a bit of gobbling. Dug up some early leaks. Saw some birds. Checked trail camera. Excellent woods walk today.

Just my 2 cents.
It doesn't effect me. Already had 8 weekends plus Thanksgiving week of hunting. Our hunting gang has gotten 10 deer(north and south) so freezers at camp are full and I put a doe in my freezer. I've just had enough. Skiing every weekend now.
Good luck to all.

Definitely not afraid of the cameras

Had a very interesting morning. Snuck into woods early. Looked around and said. That doesn't look like a turkey. Yup, it's a bear. 5 seconds later this bear ran straight at me. I can't post the video but these screens shots show how close he came before I stood up and scared him away. The morning hunt went well too.
Hunted one more time this final weekend. Back to the bear spot. Birds were there but not interested. Had a nice walk in the green woods before the rain started. Was a good season. Now time to fish. See ya all next season.

Tom walked 200+ yards to get to my Hen Decoy.
He ate up those Clucks + Purrs.
Great hunt. Good calling.

Holy cow I would have needed a solid 15 minutes to clean my pants out.
On a serious note...in your head were you thinking about.....what distance may need to fire a shot?

Two more bounds and he would've been at my foot. I stood up and yelled at him. Shot gun ready.

Do you think turkeys will roost during the eclipse?
