Guys, I hope my luck doesn't go your way. Perfect morning after a brief rain. Birds pitched down and went away so I followed. I called, they'd gobble then walk away. This went on for about an hour and 3/4 of a mile jaunt. (Those birds sure cover alot more ground than I thought). Caught up to a group of 2 jakes 6 hens and 5 toms. The jakes came into 25 yards but the toms would just not come in. By the time I realized they were heading away it was too late to put a shot on the jakes. Never could catch back up to the group. Seen a few more toms struttin with hens, but they were in the middle of pasture or crop fields. Either they'd see me and take off or they were happy to have the hens already and didn't need to come to the call. I'm just gonna go beat myself with a cow pattie or something. Frustration definately setting in!!

MottzI really hope you guy's lose to my team and all.But i have been reading your post and i hate to admit it, but i'm rooting for ya.You are really trying hard with bad luck, keep trying.

'll have to make it happen another day. Got to our spot about 5:40, turkeys were gobbling at 6 am. Didn't hear the birds that I thought I would but we heard a few. Set up on 2 gobbling like crazy, UNTIL the hens started pitching out of the trees. It looked like a flock of black birds.Needless to say those birds shut-up and done their business. So we saw 4 more in a field, set up the decoys and started calling. They were coming to investigate what was there and when they were about 70 yards 2 coyotes stampeed the flock and that was done. Sooo we walked around from field to field and spotted 3 longbeards. Set up and they came to us, my wife was going to shoot first, she hasn't ever killed a gobbler so she had first crack. They split up and 2 were in front of us at about 60 yards. She was looking at those birds I was looking at the one that was 35 yards to our left. I counldn't shoot and she didn't see the one I was looking at so no shot. The other 2 gobbled a couple of times but shut up and left. By then it was about 12:30 and we left. Going to hit again Friday and the rest of the weekend.
