Why oh why must TN loose. Stupid Michigan state. ANyway finally went out this morning. We saw a wjole lot of nothing. Got in there real early, et up where we thought the turkeys would be and well they werent they were 400 yards across a lake that we do not own. So we made a few fuitile attempts at em, but no luck. So better luck next weekend.

Bio
Okay lets try this again. I tried to do this a couple of days ago and it failed? So, I'm from Massachusetts. I have been hunting deer for about twenty four years. This will be my fourth year hunting turkeys. I have yet to bag one myself, and being on team #1 the defending champs the pressure is really on this year. Last year was the closest that I had come to bagging one. I called in six birds and just before they got into range they didn't like something and left. I called them in again still they would get close then leave. After calling them back in a third time from yet another direction same thing. This was the last I saw of them. I couldn't figure out what they didn't like until I went to get my decoy. Then there it was all messed up and twisted on its post. 
I have had the birds right in my yard once this year in the morning, and two more times in the evening I have heard them up on the hill a roosting time. Nothing gets my blood going like hearing them gobble. I have a really good feeling about this year, Go Team #1

As Peter posted above the TN youth hunt was a bit of a bust for us. He couldn't hunt on Saturday due to an all day school committment. I scouted that morning and watched 4 strutters, for about an hour. They gobbled their fool heads off from the roost until about 8:30. They were roosted on a ridge between a lake and small field where we had our feeder after deer season.
Sunday morning came predictably with wind, cool, and rain. We set up in the dark in the field edge where I watched them strut the day before. When daybreak came no gobbling on that ridge. Heard several turkeys off the property, or maybe on the property edge near the lake. Attempts to find them didn't work and we came home around noon.
Big bummer
Statewide season opens Saturday. Hoping for better weather.
