Just got home from our quick 2 day hunt and I had a great hunt. I put down A tom on each day at 7:30am. These our my 2nd and 3rd turkey kills.
On Thursday, the morning started out good as I had a couple hens hanging around, About 7 a nice gobbler comes out of the corner and starts displaying around 100 yards from where I am sitting. After about 10 minutes he turns and heads back into the tree line. At 7:30 I spot 5 hens coming out of the same corner and they head right into the decoys with a real nice tom hot on thier trail strutting his stuff. I waited until he cleared some shrubs and put the hammer down at around 20 yards.
On Friday I decided to set up down in the corner where I was seeing most of the birds come out of. At around 6;30 I spotted a tom on the other side on the fence but he just would not come out in the field. Then the magic hour of 7:30 rolls around and I spot a nice tom in the field behind me with 3 hens, after some manuvering around to get in position to get a shot,I was able to drop him at about 30 yards.
So it was a good 2 days in the field, the birds are starting to turn on and the hunting was good...Will post the pics later after I can get them downloaded...
