Kaleb here... I get a jumpstart on you guys..hehe.

I went to the farm im hunting this weekend tonight, didnt hear any birds, but did see a lone hen and the good thing is she wasnt acting spooking at all of my truck,

[epe]

Saw you are on my team Kaleb... We ought to meet up some saturday after turkey hunting in perry county.. You know where the silver grill is in new lex?

[OhioHunter88]

yep, sure do drive by there everyday on the way to school.

Didnt do too well this morning, they werent gobbling like usual, we did hear a couple birds, went after one, but that plan didnt work.. Problly go out this evening.

[OhioHunter88]

Didnt get to go out this morning, dang school.lol

Saw alot of birds yesterday, around 14, we chased a group of about 10 jakes around yesterday, saw them 3 different times, just never could get them to coperate.

[epe]

My 16 year old cousin went out saturday morning. Got out late, had some gobble back, but they were on the ground already. Gobbled going away, they could never close the distance..

[B-W D-end #94]

I was thinkin we need a cool name, since everyone else has some. I was thinking maybee the Beard Blasters or Morning Murkers , or Lead Poisoning, or, haha, the Green mountain boys. What do you guys think? put up some suggestions of your own. I know, im having way to much fun with this :coolgleamA:

[OhioHunter88]

Im down for whatever, i dont really care about the name. I do like Beard Blasters tho..

[wildohio22]

fellas we need a team name, beard blasters is pretty good we just all need to agree

[B-W D-end #94]

so beard blasters it is then? i think everyone is of approval pending epe.

[epe]

Sorry guys.. Beard Blasters is fine with me.. Took today off to hunt.. Birds did not play nice today. From not working off the roost, to working past my first setup location, after I had moved onto location b, to the wind knocking my decoys over every ten minutes, to finding out someone has been hunting out of my blind, and smoking in it while doing it.. :nono: Not a good day.. Think I am going to sleep in tommorrow morning, and give it a go sunday morning... Good luck this weekend guys!!

[B-W D-end #94]

i know how that stuff goes...nothin worse than in bow season going to your stand on private land and having some dude with a 30-30 in your stand saying hes "woodchuck hunting". but good luck on your next hunt everyone im having a 4 day camp down in belmont county this weekend so lets see what i can do for us.

[epe]

Went out for about and hour and fifteen minutes this morning... Had some gobbling off in the distance, but nothing I could get to in time to leave for work... Called in two hens to my decoys though.. :D

[OhioHunter88]

I havent been having very much luck, Ive been seeing lots of hen's but hearing very few gobbles, and the jakes we have had come in have been silent, its tough hunting here for now.

epe. What part of perry county is your farm on?

[epe]

Its not a farm, its my cousins lease.. 665 acres... Got a nice time today..

The only way I have been having luck is calling to the hens.. You gotta piss off the main hen, cut her off, get her all fired up.. She leads the toms in..

[wildohio22]

ill try that thursday morning if it will be clear first thing in the mornin. yesterday when the flock moved to the west side of the property we built a couple of killer blinds in 3 key locations. if we keep the blinds nice they should be good for yotes by the end of the summer. saw 2 of the 5 birds that day that were gobblin, they looked like 25 lbs. they were headin towards a hen down the ridgeline, and i couldn,t get my friend to call out he was afriad ta spook em (birds were only 60 or so yards out), and i didnt have my friction or mouth calls, more or less we were unprepared and late into the woods, my partner is new to all this and its hard to convince him to do something, im goin solo thursday, ill call myself im getting annoyed with his newly acquired knowledge of turkeys. he reads all these books but wont listen to what i tell him in the field. if he doesnt hear anything in an hour he wants to relocate:tsk: they always come back

Guernsey County bird, my first ever, he had 1" and 1 1/8" spurs, 10 inch beard, and was 20 pounds. We called him in from a very very long way off, was hotter than heck just before i shot him. theres nothing like hearing one double gobble at 35 yards. I let him have it at 30 yards, and then the euphoria of baggin my first bird set in.
