Congrats to the both of you..... But you're killing me way down here. I hunt way down by aligator alley, just inside the Collier County border. Opening day lost my tom to a better caller, then three days of silence. And today, heard one, (Tom, and Hens), but never saw them. Did hear someone elses mighty boom stick thou.[X(]

Tomorrow plan on hunting the lower entrance to bear island then after the hunt slipping around via the highway to the northern entrance just below Imockolee. Latest intel down here is that their all hidding out in the farm feilds.

Again to you and your friend, Congrats and I'm jealous;)

I actually experienced just the opposite. I couldn't get them out in the fields. I never saw a bird in a field that we didn't shoot and the one other I spooked in the fog. It was almost opposite of every other experience I have had hunting turkeys in Florida. They just didn't seem to want to leave the hammocks.

Yea, I assume he must of been on his way out. He was pretty beat up by other gobblers and alone when all the dominat birds had hens. The broke spur made me think he didn't have lone to live.
