RE: Team 13--" Struttin Stuffers "!
If i didn't have bad luck this weekend i would have had no luck at all. We got close to the birds on the roost about 100 yds away. They gobbled like heck and then once they hit the ground they shut up. Not a single gobble. We tried all morning to strike another one. Finally after the last spot we checked at 1130 we went home. Hope next weekends regular season opener is better than the youth day.

I saw and heard lots of birds. Just couldn't get any to fully cooperate, too many hens with the gobblers. Maybe this next weekend will be better. Those hens gotta sit on the nests sooner or later.
I did have 3 nice toms stroll thru about 50-60 yards away thru some brush on Saturday. I'll be after them again this weekend.

I need some adivce from you guys. Ok i went out saturday which was our opener. Much like my youth day experience they hit the ground and shut up. We got in close to them on the roost though. I can't hunt this upcoming weekend but i will be back at it the following weekend. Will these birds roost in the same general area? I sure hope cuz that is like our only spot.

Man these @#$%&())(*&^%$#@!#^^&& turkeys are giving me fits. They will not come to any kind of calling. I set up between 2 birds gobbling well before daylight this morning. I was in the corner of a field almost between the 2 birds with my dekes out in front. They gobbled pretty hard on the roost, then flew down and gobbled some more. But would not budge from the area they flew down to. I know one of them had to be able to see my dekes. Eventually they just walked off and shut up. I heard 2 more gobbles the rest of the day.
I did have a good day mushroom hunting tho.
