Unofficially....Live from the woods 2021 turkey hunting thread.

I went to Little Valley yesterday. When I pulled in Wed evening there were 2 red heads in the field not 40yds from my blind. Got up and listened at first light no gobbling. Sat in the blind and 2 hens showed up and I got 1 cranked up, she cucked and yelped at me for almost an hour! Not 1 gobble. Went for a stroll around 10 and never heard anything.  My buddy went back to the blind and had 1 gobble 4x behind the blind but it wouldn't come out to the field.  Oh well that's turkey hunting, It was a beautiful day to be in the woods!

I haven't got my mom a gift yet, but I just thought up a perfect one.  I should have an hour or so to kill (litteraly), prior to church on Sunday.  

My wife and kids were not crazy about it, the last time I brought home a shot-up wild turkey.  Something about the blood and guts turned them off I guess. 

Maybe I can kill a tom for mom, on Mothers day morning behind her house, with the little .410 that grandpa bought for her when she was a little girl. 

Wouldn't that be a "special" gift ?  I will remove the breast and hand it to her in a zip lock bag.  Tentatively, I am planning on fishing Saturday morning (maybe she will also get a fresh lake Erie walleye).

 I am going to at least give turkey hunting one more shot on Sunday. We gave my nephew permission to turkey hunt our place, so I dont want to horn in on his action at home.  He did a great job on the concrete work in my new pole barn.  I might get one last shot at spring turkeys, up in the Adirondacks, when we visit the in-laws on Memorial day weekend.

My mom would freeze that, put it in a pillow case, and beat me half to death with it

Update: I sat in blind again. heard nothing. Legal shooting 513am so I waited for 520am and called. Before I could finish 3rd strike a Tom long gobbled to my left, so where I came from. I put call down. He gobbled every minute or so, then every 30 seconds or so. This went on for like 20min. Then mayhem broke loose. I herd a hen for first time. Or another hunter? It was like 20-25 yelps in a row. The Tom kept gobbling but the hen or hunter wouldn’t stop. Then another Tom gobbled off in the distance. Nothing since 545am. I just tried calling again at 6. No response.

Pretty cool to have all that sounding off and you in the middle of it.
I thought you were kindly instructed to throw the call away if he cuts you off?!?!
Tacks will NOT be pleased by the 6:00 call!

Couple soft yelps after fly down were advised just for good measure
