Hey Guys. This is my first year out. We've got a decent flock where I deer hunt in Delaware County. Fortunately for them, Delaware County doesn't have a fall season.
Where's our 4th? Came across a few team name ideas. Feather Dusters. Wattle Wackers (not sure I want to be a wacker!). Tail Fans. This one just came to me: Tail Chasers.

Number 4 checking in......Im in Fairfield County and I got turkeys coming out the butt on my new farm! They was gobbling like crazy this morning. Here is a little article I wrote about turkey hunting yesterday. Im stoked for this years season!
Did we settle on a team name? We had Tail Chasers and now Masters of Spring. Either is ok with me but I am partial to Tail Chasers since I suggested it .

Haven't heard from any Tail Chasers! I have not been out yet. I will be out Friday morning and Sunday morning. Looking forward to sometime in the woods!

I was out Monday and my birds disappeared, did not see or hear a thing, well I did have a fox trot in and watch my devote for 20 seconds or so. I'll be back out Friday thru Sunday.

I got out this morning in different area and had at least one responding to calls but would not leave his hens. Gonna give it a go in the morning again.

I called in a tom yesterday with a paper thin beard about 6 inches long, he strutted and gobbled around my decoy but I couldnt talk my-self into shooting him. I kinda regret it today but hopefully he will grow up to be a little bigger someday.Is their such a thing as QTM?
I finally got out this a.m. and while I was setting up my decoys I had one gobbling at the geese flying over. Saw him in the newly planted field but couldn't get him to come over. I had 4 hens and a strutting tom decoy out.
Questions for you guys. I don't have much land to hunt so I have to stay put. I think I tired out the gobbler calling too much. If you had to sit in the same spot all morning, how often would you be calling? And would it be clucks, yelps, or both?
If he is mature or a older bird anyhow put one of ur hens clear to the ground and put ur Tom kinda on her back or so it looks like it and put the rest of ur hens a few feet away normall. And getcha a squealing hen call and hammer down he won't resist that

It depends on the birds you have in the area. If they mature then do like he said but if you are not sure or know they are younger birds a lot if times from ny understanding it can scare them off. Another tool to use is to cutter at them. I have been trying this out and it seemed to work alright with mouth call but the bird u got shot at yesterday could not resist the cutting if my box call. This was a mature bird too. Just mix it up and see what they respond to. Sometimes just a simple short change in locations like 50 to 100 yards or if you can get to another direction this can help. I think the reason my bird was not coming to me wad because he did not want to cross creek or fence. I only really moved 150 yards and he came right in.
