Buckmaster7600 Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Wow turned out to be a perfect morning and not 1 gobble. I'm on my 3rd different property and have saw hens everywhere and let 3 jakes go right after fly down. Haven't heard nor saw a gobbler yetSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steuben Jerry Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Haven't heard a gobble. Had a hen hang out with the dekes for an hour. Raining again, but dry in the blind. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowin Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Took Jeff1211 out on his first turkey hunt. Would like to report a different outcome, but we neither heard nor seen anything on our initial setup. Started walking around, and got a call from my brother there were two strutter's in another field I can hunt. We hit the truck, and on the way seen two different strutter's with some hens crossing the road. Attempted to cut them off, but no luck. We're going there tomorrow morning. Hopefully they will be close by. Congrats to those that got out of bed, lol, and to the lucky hunters.. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's having a good time. Lol. Giving it another shot tomorrow. I get as much or more enjoyment watching/helping someone get there first critter, than I do shooting it myself.

jeff1211 Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I had a really great time. I'm having just as much fun learning to track them down and the more important part of hunting than just the shooting. Hopefully tomorrow we'll get a chance at some, would like to bring my first home!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATbuckhunter Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 All settled into the blind. I have a bird about 200 yards away ripping out a gobble every 10-20 seconds. Never heard one gobble so much. Going to give a few soft yelps so he knows where I am. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
