Went out scouting yesterday... First property is where I always see tons of birds, except for yesterday...nada 4 hrs of walking and checking field no birds no gobbling. Drove to small 20 acre parcel get out of truck and GOBBLE, GOBBLE.... they are just over a crest and so close I can hear them walking in the leaves. Prolly 20 or so turkeys that I saw, couple of jakes, 2 mature toms there were others that I didnt see but I heard gobbling. Had the birds within 30 yards of me while standing next to my truck. Got the blood pumping!

This is only my third year turkey hunting. 1st year got a Jake the only time I went out, 2nd year got two nice toms and last year passed up a few on opening day and missed a couple during the season...Hopefully this yeart is better.

Here is one from '08
