Dan, so far I see nothing on the site. Just the godaddy webpage. If you ever need any help with your website, im pretty experienced in that department. I've been messing with websites since I was 11. Also, im doing some of my own filming this year so ill have some footage I could lend you and we could get together as a "HNI Team Film" See if anybody else has any too..
I got out saturday night and didn't see anything but a hen.. Pretty disappointed. Then sunday morning I heard probably 11 or 12 differant toms gobbling all around me. But I only saw one of them. He was walking away from me then I did some calling and chirping and he got all fanned out and gobbled some... then he started running to me. But once he got about 75 yards out where the bean fields hits the taller grass he just stopped and strutted around a little. Then he went back in to where his roost was... Not sure what happend there. Then sunday evening we went out. My dad went hunting with me but I had him bring his gun and he went and sat about 300 yards down the crick. About 7:45ish I just glimpsed over towards him and saw a tom running all the crick that seperated the two fields and he was running for my dad. Then he disappeared behind some trees and I heard a big boom... then about 30 seconds later my dad comes running through the field hollering for me telling me he got one. I've never see him so excited in my life. There was still a little daylight left for my to get one but im sure he scared most of the turkeys away with his shot and his yelling but i dont care. Im really happy to see him get one.
Heres his story...
He said he called some and heard nothing.. and it was around 7:45 and he was getting ready to go and just got done smokin a cigarette when he saw a turkey running straight towards him. He got his gun up then when the turkey got close enough he saw it didn't have a beard. The hen walked right past him, never took notice to him. He said he was kind of bummed because its his last night and that was the last bird he was probably going to see. Then the next thing he knows there is a tom running straight for him, same place that hen went. So he got his gun ready again and he said the tom never stopped... just kept running straight at him. He said he fired at him while he was still running and he said if he didn't shoot that turkey would have ran right into him.
It was a pretty decent bird. Great for a first bird! I figured it was a 2 or 2.5 year old because of the spurs. They were maybe half an inch. If that. But he had a 9 inch beard on him.
