RE: Turkey season
 

My season came to an end today. Called in two Jakes five minutes after seven to within 15 feet. At 8:25am, got a hen to respond to my calling. After her second response,a gobbler cut loose in the same spot. Back tracked about 10 yds. and set-up. Worked the birds for about 18 minutes. Four hens along with three long beards came into range. Bird had little over 9inch beard. [/align][/align]BRING BACK SPROUL[/align]

That'll do. nice job. I didn't get out on Saturday but I've been out Monday and today. I think the heat has them crazy. They gobble their heads off the first 1/2 hour of daylight until the sun clears the ridgetops then quiet the rest of the morning. Of course they could be with hens too.

Nice bird,:)
its been hot as hell around here and the birds don't like it much.

The weathers breaking so things might just pick up a little.

Good luck to the rest of ya.

Took this guy yesterday in the Mass opener... 19 & 1/2 lb, 9" beard, 1 & 1/8" and 1 & 1/4" spurs. He hung up on me strutting on a ridge alone around 50 yards... I slipped in another 10 yards behind some thick trees and got a shot off at about 40 yards when he was looking for the sound!

Back on monday of the Mass opener I shot my first bird. A 20lb bird with a 9" beard and 3/4" spurs.
