[STUEYSDAD]

Good names guys any one of them is good with me. Has anyone been out scouting? I have birds in all my usual places so getting set up on them should not be a problem. Killing them well thats a different story. Is anyone going youth season?

[STUEYSDAD]

Well guys off to a good start. Set up this morning at the edge of a hay field. It was pouring down rain. I was starting to wonder what was wrong with me to be out in this when the season is a month long, I thought I heard a bird gooble but could not make out what direction it came from.
I set up a decoy in the field and made three calls sat there about five minutes and here comes two long beards threw the fence and strutting up to the decoy. Shot the dominate bird. weighed 21 pounds 9 inch beard and inch spurs will get the pictures up as soon as I figure out how to.
Did anybody get out this morning? Got the rest of week off will try to fill my second tag and get one in range for my son. Good luck.

[STUEYSDAD]

Well fellas I connected again this morning 20 lbs 91/2 inch beard 3/4 inch spurs. shot him at 10:15 called him across a big deep hollow never really thought he would come that far but he was really fired up must have gobbled at least fifty times on the way worked him over an hour probably the longest time I have ever stayed on a bird. Also the shortest season I have ever had. It will seem weird not being able to carry a gun with almost all the season left. Still get to take my son hopefully he can be as lucky as the old man. Be careful and good luck.

Its been awful quite on this thread.Anybody getting out having and having any luck. Have had jakes all over us the last three times out with my son but he will not shoot a jake.:coco:Just cant find a lonely longbeard they where still henned up pretty bad last weekend. Lets hear some stories:bouncy:

[cornstalk7]

where to start,.......got a 12 lb jake this morning in vinton county, the only gobble I heard today. anyways, I'm done, tagged out I guess. haven't hunted since last week. but last week was as much fun as I've had turkey hunting in a while. didn't hear many birds but the ones I did were willing to play. Lungbuster and I had one strutting on a gasline road for half an hour, kept strutting in tight circles, another gobbler comes up from the opposite side of the road and got the **** flogged out of him. two days later I blew chances on two separate birds in less than 2 1/2 hours. first bird came up to me to twenty yards and all I could see behind a sapling was an eye and a beak so I didn't shoot. second bird won because I couldn't hold my shotgun up any longer..........one of those take your time to come in birds. :biggrin:

[STUEYSDAD]

Well we ended the season on a positive note.My fourteen year old son shot his biggest bird yet this morning. 21lbs 11 inch beard and 1 1/2 inch spurs. Kind of amusing the way it happened after trying to set up on a bird we worked yesterday only to find out it roosted on the adjacent farm that we do not have permission to hunt we moved to another farm trying to cover as much ground as possible today. Upon arriving and walking out the pasture we noticed tire tracks going out the threw the field. I was really upset not because someone else was there just that they where that lazy not to walk. I am not the only person to have permission but the farmer had asked to keep an eye on the place when we hunt because of problems with four wheelers tearing up the place. We ran into the hunters who just turned and walked away without speaking. Now I am the boiling point. Intead of creating a scene we just turned and started to leave. On the way out I made a call over the opposite side of the field that these guys just walked out and got a immediate response. Setting up right there I made some purrs and got a another gobble. A minute later three longbeards come up the hill and start putting when they did not see the hen. They started moving back and forth leaving almost running when my son shot. At the shot three birds took flight. Thinking he had missed he was not a happy camper:mad: Upon looking over the bank there he lay there had been four birds but only three came over the top. What a great end to the season:bouncy:
