RE: the Great team 8 thread
Well guys my season opens up on Monday. I am going there tomorrow morning and see what the birds are doing. And then hopefully roost em in the evening. I have been there the last 3 weekends and they haven't done the same thing twice yet.
Hopefullycome Monday they will feel like responding to my calls and dekes. Because I have no idea where they are going after they fly down. They have been roosetd in the same area twice, but headed 2 totally different directions after they hit the ground. |

We got 14" of snow here, friday[&o]WTF? Supposed to be 70 degrees, Wed. I'm confused:eek: |
RE: the Great team 8 thread
Tuesday, April 15th - No birds.
Wednesday, April 16th - Bird hit [low and forward]; not recovered. Thursday, April 17th - Bird missed. So far every bird I've called to has come in. I just can't close the deal. |

RE: the Great team 8 thread
The miss was weird.
I found a Guillotine left over from last season and took it out. I released as he gobbled. So he sort of zigged when the arrow zagged. I swear I cut hairs off the top of his noggin' though. |
RE: the Great team 8 thread
I'll probably head out again in the morning, if my paycheck is deposited in my account at midnight. Otherwise I won't have the gas to make the trip.
No clue if I bumped that bird out of the area for a bit or not, but we'll see. There are more, I'm sure. Wednesday morning I had a half dozen+ birds gobbling in the same area. This morning only the one. We'll see. |
RE: the Great team 8 thread
Good luck, Dan.
So....whats up with everyone else? |
RE: the Great team 8 thread
Didn't make it out this morning. Money wasn't deposited until 8AM.
I doubt I'll go back out again until Monday. I'll let the weekend warriors have their fill and hope they don't spook the birds too bad. |
RE: the Great team 8 thread
I have gotten 0 birds to come in yet. They are with hens big time. I will be out there this weekend Saturday and Sunday. It is supposed to rain all day today and tonight too. Then stop in the morning. That might keep the hens guarding their nests. And make a few gobblers lonely. I am gonna get as close as I can while they are still on the roost. Maybe that way I won't have to try and call them to me.
