Chuck7 , sounds like you had some exciting hunts........i had a year to remember for sure.....got my first bird out at Toso.
NEAT!!
( 9 1/4''Beard), then the next weekend i got my seminole bird, then the following wekend i played guide for my friend from MD., got him a bird the first day and i called up a nice gobbler the following day for another friend that never turkey hunted, he passed on the shot...but he got to see what it's all about....i'd be out there hunting them birds everyday if i could.It was a very vocal year.....birds every morning.....
Yep..me too.This was my first successful year.If I knew what I was doing I could have gotten 2 more birds..Once I didn't know it but I was set up under a roosting tree. They were within 50 yds when they returned my yelp..I was fine tuning my set up when they flew away from a tree looking down at me..The other one I found a mile away farther..I was simply hiking and yelping about every 300 yds..When he answered I set up on a traill which I learned is a no no..The birds liketo stay in the swamp..I also found some hogs and deer. I love turkey hunting
I'm glad you had such a great year Huntnma..and blessed others as well.
Have a great day!!
