Live From The Woods 2022 Turkey Edition

[mowin]

I'm up... But not hunting turkeys. Buddy is taking me striper fishing. I've only caught one little dink 30 yrs ago, so I'm excited. 

Good luck to those out chasing turkeys.

Thinking about breaking out the blind and setting up in our lower field.  Wind is supposed to switch to north and it'll be sheltered there.  Can't see them wanting to be in the hardwood on a windy day like this.  Or maybe sneak out to my buddies south facing property.

Breezy here too. 9H

Was in the game until a coyote just chased all the turkeys away!

I’ve got hens all around.

Hopefully, I can break in this 16 ga mod choke barrel this morning.  Time for a few yelps. I was a little late getting into position this morning.

I'd get out of that box blind and against a tree if I were you.

Stop! These are how legendary stories begin.

Heard a couple distant gobbles early and nothing since. No rain or wind in 9P

I just called in an old lesbian.

Live bait. My hens meandered back in behind me. No Tom in tow.

This one wandered off about a hundred yards, so I made a few  clucks with my push button call , and she came right back in.  Now she has gone into the woods behind me and  I can still hear her yelping.  No sign or sound of any toms over here this morning.

I’ll give it till about 8:30, then I got to cut up another truckload of cherry.

I was going to head to Henry Hudson launch myself but forgot soft ball was at 9. That trumps turkey's and fish. 

[UpStateRedNeck]

Ah, youth.

[UpStateRedNeck]

These Jakes came running in, but 100% silent.  Still hanging around.  I even gobbled at them, hoping to start a ruckus, nothing other than some purring.

[turkeyfeathers]

Winds chilly on the bones. No turkey talk since early. No gobbles

2 crows were dive bombing a red tail. Now they’re on a raven. Neat to see size comparison of the 2 .

 Wolc-- you need a Louder call then that ol push button. 

I also have a flex tone thunder cutn mouth call, which was what first got her attention.  I thought she was another hunter at first, over in the next hedge-row.  
 

The push button Lohman brought her back in the second time.  Time for me to go cut some wood now.  I will try an hour or so in the morning at home tomorrow.  I think my cousin’s kid is hunting back there today.

Somebody is absolutely hammering in the woods behind me.  1 of the Jakes is still here.

You've had a great morning so far my friend! Only thing missing is a long beard!
