That’s a wrap.  Had fun anyhow

Been non stop action since the 1st. Didn't make too many mistakes & am totally content with 1 tag filled. Came close to filling the 2nd several times. Turkey brain off, deer brain on!

Best turkey hunt of 2022, even without a shot fired. 

Had a trio of Toms come within 60 yards of me and would not commit to my two hen decoys.  Another 20 yards and I would have swung on them.  There were in the field for a good 45 minutes before they got that close, so they were not spooked.  They stayed on the far side of the field and eventually met up with 2 more hens.  They all fed for half an hour or so, and then went back into the woods.  I circled around and found them in an uncut alfalfa field with just their heads barely above the grass.  I snuck in within 50 yards but had no shot on them.  They again wandered off and I never saw them again.  

I did see a young buck with horns sprouting up above his ears, so already looking forward to the next season. 

 

Congrats to @WNY Bowhunter - way to make it happen!!

Heck, just give it a few weeks to cool down. Throw out some feed and be good to go for July.

I go out today to check on the plot, pull the cards, etc.  Pull onto the wood road to the cabin.  There's a monster Tom sitting in the middle with a paintbrush + spurs I could see from 30 yards away.  Fanned then sauntered in his way.  What a prick.
