RE: Team 8 Check-in and Status.....
Well guys, Rob just sent me a PM and I guess you got stuck with me!!
I have 2 tags for Peoria County here in Illinois. Starts the last weekend of April and I go for 2 weekends.
Sorry to say I don't have a whole lot of turkey experience. I have been lucky enough to shoot 1 bird in my 4 years of chasing the turkeys.
But on the brighter side, last year was a good year with out shooting anything. Had a lot more close calls than I had ever had.
I hope I can bring something to the table!!

not much luck for me. not good luck that is.I haveplenty of bad luck. Wednesday They gobbled until they flew down and I never saw one. thursday Iheard them gobbling and they gobbled to my calling but wouldnt come in which seems to be the case with everyone else we know. Friday I set up 75 yards from a roosted bird and set the decoys out and he flew down right under where he was roosted with another gobbler. Then I heard a hen with them but they stayed there and wouldnt come in to me. I tried to circle around them and by the time i got to where they were, they were gone. This morning The turkeys didnt gobble until after flydown. My dad had one at 75 yards and it saw him and ran back into the woods. I saw 3 hens. Still today and tomorrow to hunt. Best of luck to everyone
