I might get up tomorrow and go for my first time out this year. Both kids want to go, I’m going to try and spot one tonight but don’t expect to see any tonight being it’s the first weekend and I know they have been hunted or bothered. 

That leaves the place that’s an hour away.

Quick hunt. 3 gobbles on roost. They flew down   I cut the distance from 250 yards to about 150 using ridge as cover.  1 purr and cut me off. 2 hens got behind me at 10 yards. This gobbler was on a st

How do you guys get so good at telling how far are birds are from the roost? Ive come to the conclusion im not a very good turkey hunter lol. 

I had bird I thought was 250 yards out other morning. Then gobbled again on ground and now facing me. A lot closer than I thought  oh crap, he’s soon at 40 yards. A fun surprise that I think I muttered oh crap

Not a bad problem to have. I usually have them closeish, but not being able to call them in. Is it possible for a pot call to be worn out? I used to be able to strike birds up with my pot call, but the last couple years theyve been ignoring it.

You condition it with a scotch brite pad ? Back and forth , not circles . Find the sweet spot and mark it    You want striker to skip across condtioned lines with stutter steps.  My primos jackpot slate has aided if not killed every bird. Can’t wear em out. Slate sucks moisture and humidity.  Even foggy humid days pot call needs to be repetitively conditioned.

Side to side conditioning not circles ? 

Sweet spot usually just outside edges  in my experience

I had a bird going real hot next to your dad's property opening day on my buddies.  He headed YOUR way with his hens, pronto after he heard me.  :(

Kill 'em tomorrow.

Awesome!! Yeah they usually roost towards the back line. Hopefully it's a quick hunt in the morn, but there has been many of times it's been a ghost town for hearing birds. Have lawn duty and another baseball game so I won't have a ton of time.
