Live From The Woods 2020 Turkey Edition

[UpStateRedNeck]

I think I'll go out, Weatherman said the worst would be through, and I'll try the side of the hill out of the wind.  If it sucks I'll come home and go to work.

Going tomorrow morning out close to my house. Ontario county weather report is calling 20 %rain in the morning. The only thing I am taking within me is a mouth call because I don’t want my stuff getting soak on the first day of the season . Good luck to those going out tomorrow morning.

Got my#Longbird shirt all laid out!  Good luck in the morning fellas.

Why does turkey hunting stop at noon?

Good luck and be safe rain or shine we got 31 days to get it done.  I have 2 blinds set up and hope I am in the game this weekend.

So I had Aaron (AKA Liquidonyx), over to pattern his scatter gun.  The Longbeard 6's won over the 5's. We drove past one of the fields we can hunt, and there were two longbeard's by themselves heading to the woods. 

We headed to a spot where there's usually birds roosted. Had a doe within 20 yrds, but heard or seen nothing in that area.  I talked to the landowner afterwards, and he said there's always birds up in those fields strutting.  He even mention they have been seeing a while deer up there frequently.  

Aaron can't hunt tomorrow, but we'll be out there Saturday.  

This is his 30 yrd target. 40 was decent, but definitely his max distance.

Have any of you guys worn through a crystal call? Ive been trying to condition this call that ive been using for the last 6 years and I keep getting a high pitch squeaking sound. Good thing I have a mouth call I can use instead. I ordered a new pot call just in case, but Its not coming till may 13th. I gotta stop leaving things till last minute

Can't say I've ever worn one out.  But I'm going in tomorrow with mouth calls only.  Too dam wet.

Give them hell guys .....  I might get out Saturday...  this night shift sucks .

[Swamp_bucks]

 No wind and rain here this morning hoping to at least get ears on one gobbling.  Jake or tom is getting its head shot at.  Good luck this morning.

Doesn't seem too bad out there, but my house is sheltered from the south east.  I'll most likely cruise the side of the property that's out of the wind.

 

Good luck people!

Accu Weather show rain from 5 am thru 8 am . Weather Bug shows cloudy but no rain . Will give it a try ......... Good Luck everyone !

I'm checking in. In the blind and all set up. Forgot my cheaters to read the phone so hopefully this is readable...lol

 

Warm, quiet and just starting to get light on the east horizon. Come on first gobble!

[mowin]

When getting out of the truck, I couldn't find my face mask.  Lucky I had a winter knit full face hat under the seat.  56° and I'm sweating wearing this thing.

Glad I have my phone with me to let me know it’s not raining right now, sure was getting confused by all this water falling out of the sky.

[The_Real_TCIII]

Perfect morning good luck all! Peepers are so loud I can’t hear myself think!

Boots by back door so I don’t forget. Hikers on and soggy left foot.

Foggy up here, light southeast breeze.  Listening for gobblers in the middle of the farm, nobody so far.

First gobble at 5:20.   Across creek on neighbors property.
