RE: TEAM 7 CHECK IN
Well the "turkey tune up" was interesting. My buddy Tom and I started calling at 8:45am (the bird had been released much earlier). The turkey gobbled for 45 min and I set up on him twice but he gave me the slip!
Then he went silent all day. I finally left at 4:45pm. We looked all dayand didn't even see tracks. It had rained buckets the day before and there was a lot of mud and flooded areas. Well Tom finally heard a gobble at 5:30pm right in the flooded area and got him at 20yds. The turkey had been in theflooded area allday and left no tracks in the mud! So there goes the theory about turkeys not liking to get their feet wet! This one had been wading all day!
Turkey chile verde tonight ! See recipe on the Tasty turkey thread

I had two in my front yard Sunday morning! As they went across the road gobbling their heads off, at least fivce more fired up. These next three weeks could be the longest ones of my life.

RE: TEAM 7 CHECK IN
While hunting a released jake at the club's lease on Sunday,I managed to get within 40yds of the released jake, who was in the sorghum, and coax him into the woods. It's really thick in there and he hung up behind a couple of trees. I'm hen calling to him,finally he answered with an anemic gobble. Just then a booming full gobble came in from about 1: o'clock,(my released bird was at about 11
o o'clock). The jake left the woods back to the sorghum where my buddy killed him while I went after the Gobbler. No luck, never did see him. The next day my buddy goes out there in the morning and gets to see the Tom with a couple of hens not far away! I'd like to get that bird. Once he breeds the hens he's with he'll get lonely and vulnerable.
