Live From The Woods 2022 Turkey Edition

[turkeyfeathers]

That’s a wrap. He stayed at 100 for close to 90 minutes. Finally meandering off silent. Then opened up again but different spot. Daughter needs to nap as works later. Oh well , fun morning and the best I got into him so far. Next available for us is Monday / Tuesday

I've also become the worst hunter.

There's no telling how long I sat here on Monday, didn't see a single turkey!

That's not exactly true, there was one swimming around way on the other side. He never came close enough to get a shot though. Probably all for the best, I think it was probably sick or something, it kept making this awful honking noise.

Only slackers go out at 2AM. 

I find them mid day the day before, follow them all day until they roost, then sit there all night waiting for fly down.

Drug this lady away from him and he followed but I was on the wrong side of a giant rootball

Time is off because I just screen grabbed the picture from a video.

Anybody out and about???

  This is my 2nd day in a row off. 8 hours of sleep! Be out tomorrow  though and hopefully  Cynthia can make it out on Saturday  for a few hours. 

seems quiet on the forum, but the weather is perfect here. I'm probably good for 1 more hurrah this weekend. Good luck tomorrow.

I was supposed to go out this morning but, I didn't get home until 1am this morning from last Amerks game. They went triple OT, lost a good game. It was great seeing some playoff hockey!

That's a wrap for me. I got out 4/27 (opening day of CT) till 8am and never again. Season ends tomorrow and I can't do it. Oh well. Maybe next year. Never got to NY to hunt this May either. Just too busy with other life stuff.

Monday was a glorious day, so much so I stayed out from pre-dawn till noon and walked waaay too many miles. And for that I was a hurtin' unit come tuesday morning and decided to sleep in and call it a season. Eating a late breakfast about 11:15, looking out the window and a hen fed it's way across the yard. The only turkey I saw that trip.

I did see, hear and interact with birds the first weekend of the season, first time in a couple years. By me it was also the least buggy season I can ever remember, I suppose due to the strange spring and late snow dump. That part was wonderful.

Going out tomorrow morning with a buddy who has a line on a couple of gobblers....

After that I will hunt the property one more time...Gotta go up and pull the blind anyway, but it has been very quiet up there this season..

Monday I am headed to Onieda for walleyes for a few days...Sounds like a refreshing change from sitting in the woods and hearing no gobbling..

Sounds like a solid plan, Dan. 

Good luck on both deals......

Good luck Dan. Walleyes are nice but that lake has perch .... would be a tuff choice . Hope you get into them .

Can hunt tomorrow morning but will wait until daughter can hunt again on Monday and or Tuesday. I have no desire to kill the only bird gobbling before she gets another chance or two. I may eat tag soup in turkey season to go with tag soup for deer season. Firsts for both. But had fun during both . That’s what it’s about

Done for today. I heard No Gobbling this morning.  Just a Lone Hen high up in a Tree Yelping in the Swamp where,I was. 

 I was going to hunt around a Field- however a Disabled  Hunter Arrived with keys to the Metal Gate and he drove super fast down the Woodsroad. Never heard anyone shoot this morning  though.

Nice to hear a disabled hunter is out and about.

Is there a posted speed limit on Woodsroadzzzz?

[cynthiafu]

I must be crazy,  sitting on a field edge in Chautauqua Co. hoping some birds will come out to play. Fog rolled in, but at least the rain has stopped.

[The_Real_TCIII]

Not necessarily crazy! It could be dehydration

Pro tip . Just drive down Kings Highway in Durand Eastman Park , Roch. You have a good chance to grab them and stuff into sack ,saving ammo .

Trying the 9 til noon slot or slop today second day of heavy rain.  Expectations are not high but felt like getting out.  Fortune favors the blind….which keeps the rain off
