I got a last minute invite to hunt with a friend on his lease, which is PRIME turkey ground....It used to belong to my brother in law years ago...

He had a blind set up on the end of a corn stubble field...

ZERO roost gobbling, from a spot where on a decent morning you might hear 5 or six gobblers...

After flydown, we started to hear a faint gobble now and then but distant enough that it was hard to tell even what direction it was in...I let my friend do all the calling, since it was his ground, and he was very good with mouth calls, pots and a box...

Finally, we heard a gobble that sounded close enough to do business with....

Three longboards came in,  and they all looked about the same size to me...He was busy filming the hunt, and when I dropped one, he could have easily killed another one, if he had his gun in his hand rather than the camera...

19 pounds,  10 inch beard, 1" spurs..A solid 3 year old and a nice way to get the pressure off early in the season.. 7:45 AM...

I'm looking VERY much forward to hunting with Moog on MY ground in the morning, hoping to help him get his first gobbler..

 

Congrats Dan!  Sounds like a good hunt. 

Looking forward to seeing Moog hero pics tomorrow

Congratulations to all the successful hunters!  I hunted the first three and a half hours today.  Had a hen hanging around for over an hour, at one point she was 6’ from the blind.  Talking the whole time.  My buddy stayed right until noon and danced with a gobbler late in the day, but did not seal the deal.  

Back out tomorrow!  Good luck everyone!

If every turkey hunter had this one device the turkey take would skyrocket to levels never seen before. It might even effect the bag limit in future seasons 1a441781b825481a6216d1c21ed6adab.jpg&key=121403809dd06cdd5ab3fc645c9dbd23ff5e50a75344e087e2be404be41df0ab

I have one for every box call. Before that I used a large HD rubber band. They're gold. Before the rubber bands I got busted by longbeards moving often. Little odd chirp would get their attention at the wrong time.
