TurkeyHuntPA_NY Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 You guys are making me jealous. First opening day I have missed in years. I have to take the future wife on our honeymoon in September, so I need to save my vacation days. I'll be hunting them hard Saturday-Monday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Real_TCIII Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 My buddy and I had one of those perfectMornings. We went in a newish spot just to listen and a longbeard lights up practically right above us. We watched him gobble and swivel for 15-20 minutes and then BOOM the another one gobbles and he’s just off to our right. They both fly down into the field behind us and he smokes one, real nice bird close to 1.5” spurs. Naturally they’re on his side of the tree and I’m closed out lol. All the while another bird is gobbling down in a ravine so I started calling to him and he cut me off a couple times. I can hear hens cutting at him as well. He came right in with a couple jakes in tow and I took him at 35-40 yards. Two year old with a nice beard. There were at least two more birds gobbling even as we were leaving Back home before the kids got the bus!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro 28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doewhacker Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Well I spotted the hung up bird right where I thought he was. Moments later my buddy from the morning came riding through with his loud truck and spotted him and got out. On the move now away from my buddy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieSacs Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I roosted one last night here in Westchester. Got on em at 5:15 and had em gobbling in the roost. Heard him fly down and was waiting for him with the decoys out. Nothing. Heard gobbling, but heading in the opposite direction. waited about 30 mins to see if he would circle back and nothing. Heading up to the catskills tonight for 2 days! Good luck everyone! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doewhacker Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Well I’m going to ease my way back and move the blind. I think I saw and heard my buddy go by and toot the horn to the land owner. I can’t escape this guy hahaha. Well that’s not true I’m way away from the road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Follow the sound of gobbles, spot & stalk, flush a big Tom and lead him with the shotgun and take him out. I’m predicting 27lbs, 2” spurs, and 3 beards. Pics by 718am. Stay tuned! this call is older than me. Maybe I’ll give it a whirl by 10am if I can’t find anything Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I have one of those, got it when they first came out. Have called in a lot of birds with it. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
