Turkeys Are Comin Alive

[ghug92]

Well I don't know about everyone, but here in east-central NY, the turkeys have really been gobbling a lot the past few days. Today at the golf course where I work, two toms gobbled over 70 times each.  Driving around and seeing less cars on the side of the roads but more turkeys out in the fields all fluffed up! I mentioned in a previous post about two weeks ago that the turkey breeding season had not kicked up yet due to the late winter, guess my theory may have been correct! Now I just gotta get a gobbler in the dirt, good luck to all and keep hunting, do not give up yet!

Bird tagged May 10th and daughter can't tag along until Memorial Day (25th) and then the 30th. I'm fine waiting til then as I love the end of the season when birds are gobbling more ,woods have popped and nobody in the woods as they've given up.

They have been fairly vocal around me and I have seen some good toms but always with hens. I haven't been out in a couple days and I can't get out again till Wed. My buddy tagged a slob yesterday. He said they were gobbling good and he didn't get out until 830. The bird he shot and another tom came right into his calls, on a string. So it sounds like its heating up a little.

I'm four days into my hunt in Ontario...My buddy tagged a slob ( 1 1/4" spurs) yesterday and I killed a 2 year old this morning... I have had two other close encounters with big toms and passed up a jake...Heard 4 gobblers this morning from my listening point..

The boss gobbler that Gator shot yesterday had 7 hens with him..

 

Yeah, I think things are warming up.....<<GRIN>>.....

Same for me this last weekend. I tagged out Saturday on a decent tom. I called one in for my buddy on Sunday, his first ever turkey. Also seen two others in full strut while driving.

I have heard it's picking up for others as well.

Things have been a little quiet here in Canada the last two days.

 

Gator had a bird gobble good on the roost but shut up as soon as he hit the ground.

 

He had a girlfriend...

 

I passed up another jake..PROBABLY  the same one I passed up a few days ago.

 

 

Gonna do an early morning hunt tomorrow and head the pickup home..
