DTG3k Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Ye. Gonna be a hot day. Lots of bugs all morning, try to pick a shady spot if you are sitting around, and lightweight camo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigpaul Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I'm jealous! I'm tagged out and the birds are screaming. I heard alot of gobblin' on Sat.+Sun.. This morning was unreal. I had 2 longbeards follow 2 hens up my driveway, screaming all the way. There was also a longbeard and 4 jakes in the bottom of the field with a hen. Well, all hell broke loose and a seven way fight broke out. What an awesome sight! I came home from work at 5:00pm and there was a lone gobbler out in the field just gobbling away. Good luck! Hopefully they are screaming in your neck of the woods. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landtracdeerhunter Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Take fluids and drink plenty to stay hydrated. I roosted one tonight during a thunderstorm. That made for real interesting. Got soaked. Tomorrow should be good, but watch out for these pop up thunderstorms. They seem to come from know where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeBugg Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 Im thinking open areas where they can dry off might be a good idea. Who knows ill probably just run an gun.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witty Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Drive to my spot this morning, had thunder and lighting turned around and went home. I would have loved to been in my blind but not worth the risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Nicky Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Tips: Hunt the open fields this time of year....or hunt the woods Call softly this year....or call aggressively Make sure & use a jake decoy this time of year....or lose the decoys The gobblers will be henned up this time of year....or they will be cruising for hens Your best chance of killing a bird is right off the roost...or at 11:45 All kidding aside...the only given is you'll probably need a rainsuit, a thermacell, and a couple bottles of water...and you can't get one if you don't get out there. Good luck, & shoot straight! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landtracdeerhunter Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 did it thunder last night? Ive seen them hop from roost trees during strong thunderstorms. I roosted the Tom during a thunderstorm, and he was still there gobbling towards dark. Located him using a blade of grass blowing between my thumbs, LOL.

Hunting3m Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 you guys are so lucky. I know you have work and family. But i have to find a day my dads not working(3 jobs this time of year), when i have no tests or quizzes in the morning(on week days), and when my dads not out with other stuff. We take every chance we get as my dad doesnt really hunt without me we have been our 3 days so far and not a single gobble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeBugg Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 Hunting sun up to noon tomorow. Judging by the tracks i saw, that were fresh....they came thru this morning before i got there. Im gonna complete my goal of two longbeards! Ive taken a jake and a gobbler or two jakes before....but never two mature birds in the same season! Connected on the 2nd of this month with a great 3 or 4 year old....time to complete the task! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always cherish those hunting trips with your dad too. Check out the song by Tracy Byrd called" Pass It On". It's a good one and it always hits home.

Hope u get a chance to spend some quality time with your dad turkey hunting. Hang in there and when u least expect it, a gobble will break the silence and send chills down your back. It sure does me still! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTruth2 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Hang in there man. When I was in high school I almost got kicked off the hockey team because I hunted so much. You'll get your chances it just comes with time. The frustration of having little time will soon pay off and fade away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodjr55 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I'm hunting a new property tomorrow never been there is my buddy's uncles. I guess it's hardwoods with a big corn field in the middle of it. This is my first year taking turkey hunting seriously I normally hunt my property in the southern tier which is a mix of pines and hard woods. If we hunt the field should we get there before sun up or can we sneak in later in the morning around 8 or so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
