RE: Team 17 Check In...
Well didnt get on this morning but had several opportunities. Set up near the closest birds we heard this morning and it ended up they had hens with them and the hens wanted to take them away. Called for a while, sounded like 5 or 6 different birds gobbling and a couple of hens. After a while of watching the birds at a distance 3 of the birds started going away from the group and toward my dad and I. It ended up being 3 jakes and they came in to about thirty yards. Never had a chance to draw but I dont think I would have taken one anyway.
Then after regrouping we went to another property and found two gobblers that were hot and came right in. They closed from about 150 yards to 20 yards in a couple of minutes and ended up swinging uphill some from me and came in to 15 yards straight behind pine trees so I never got a shot. It was two beautiful birds and I would of loved to have shot one but it didnt work out.
Anyone else go out today?
