Default RE: Day 11, The Light Came On!

good luck on the bird....i know you already killed one right? so it might not matter much to you if you kill another one..one thing i learned last season is NOT to get stuck on hunting A turkey if i want to fill a tag...but man it would been somethin special if i killed that big old boy...but my posts were similar to yours....day in day out....the more i learned about him the harder he beat me...tried calling to him a tad bit on the roost.....tried not calling till he hit the ground.....100s of setups...sat by his strut zone...pi$$ed one of his hens off and had her and him within 15yds and couldnt see them because of thick brush....he beat me day in and day out....but you do have one advantage that i didnt....all day hunting.....my normal day i could only hunt till 730am....a few days i could hunt till noon but ended up leaving by 9 or 10...i just cant sit there and wait for a turkey that isnt talking....he supposed to be still alive...the farmer told me he seen one with the beard dragging on the ground.....that would be him...when he would strut last year i could see it bettwen his legs...i tried decoys(which i never hunt with) i switched my calls daily....i dont even want to see him this year....ill end up in the sameeee position lol...and got an extra tag to fill this year.....i wish you the very best of luck killing him......i know what its like......long frustrating road.....my bird roosted in the same spot every day.....but would never fly down the same way...he tended to fly down in 2 general directions for a while.....so i set up on one side and had a buddy set up on the other......got in well before light never makinga noise and he flew down the opposite way! good luck! i hope you bag him!! and post pics of that bad boy!!
