I was playing around with my hen call today. Called in...... 9 jakes and at the same time. I didn't see a long beard with them but, there could have been some never came out in the open.

Thats awesome. Did they gobble any at all?

That blended shot really seems to deliver some very impressive patterns. Maybe when I run out of the 3" #5 and #6 loads I have, I'll try some. BUT, since I haven't had to break out the shotgun in the last 3 years, it may be awhile before I need more shotgun shells.
Seems like early season, the jakes run in packs. Get one of them to come, and the whole herd follows.

Here in IL it's actually unlawful to use a turkey call from March 15 until opening day.... we can only use locator calls to shock gobble them but nothing to attract them.

Im down under 30 days before I'll be hunting Missouri. Im ready, gun ready, calls ready, decoys ready, truck ready and wife is ready for me to go...

Did they gobble. On yeah, they gobbled their heads off. Their heads turned bright red and they all started toward me. I was about 170 yards away when I first called to them. After they started my way I quit calling. After all I do hunt in my woods some. But I didn't see any long beards

As far as calling. You can call anytime you want.

4 weeks to go!
