John (bornagain64) and I were back after the bird we had to walk away from yesterday. We snuck in, well before daylight, to an area that we thought would be a good area to listen. After not hearing any gobbling, we made our way across a creek that we believed hung the bird up on Saturday. After crossing the creek, we set up in an area that looked like turkey heaven. ( Florida river bottom turkey hunters know what I'm talking about). We figured the bird would show up about the same time as Saturday and he didn't disappoint . Somehow the bird made it all the way in to us without us ever seeing it. I could hear some faint drumming, which John can not hear, and I knew he was close. The rest is history. John and I have enjoyed many turkey hunts together and taking a bird off a very tough piece of public land is very rewarding.

Great start! Congrats to you guys. Some very early hunting down there. Heck I'll be bringing up the rear likely. My April hunts are always in new public draw areas. Don't hit my Wisconsin money spots til mid-May.
