Pic from the blind this morning

Finally the weather took a turn for the better. Got into the woods this morning by 5:15am, listened to about 5:45 before setting up my blind in an area that I have taken birds before.

About 6:30, I hear a goofy gobble, figured it must be a jake. Sure enough, 3 show up right into the decoys. They milled around for almost 30 minutes before heading off.  I waited until 8:30 before calling, since I didn't want to call then right back to me again. After about 10 minutes later, I head another goofy gobble, and from behind me comes 4 more jakes!!!! That's 7 jakes, no hens, and no Toms!!

Stuck it out till 11:30 before packing it in today.

 

I always attach my watch to my blind, makes seeing the time much easier and less movement on my part.

Got bored and snapped a pic of my gun on my lap!! LOL

Wish I could have been out there today. Was planning to take today off but realized my son has a dentist appointment tomorrow so taking that instead, and of course now it's calling for more rain. Guess I'll be getting wet again.

I heard NADA this morning..In fact I have only heard 3 gobbles all week here in NY.

 

All I have had in front of me so far are jakes and hens..

 

Oh well, it can only get better.

Keep grinding it out. You WILL be rewarded!

Dan, went to Shea's last night with the GF, got home late. Still went out this morning, same here nadda!!! The woods was quiet as a church!!! Stuck it out right till 11:30am again, but no cigar!!!

Had one gobbling a little bit from the roost, probably the 2-year old I let walk the other day when my buddy tagged his friend. Dead silence once he hit the ground. I'd like to know where the other four gobblers we saw opening day went. Called two jakes in to eight yards around 8:30 but that was it. Driving home I saw strutters out all over the place, and that was around 11.

Will be out this morning in same area, but across the road this time. Hopefully I can get a Tom to play!!!

Well, nadda again today. Heard 2 sound off at 5:50am, and that was it right until 11am. Think they are henned up pretty good. Going to wait a week before hitting this area again.
