I totally want to turkey hunt!  Sadly, I do not have a license....

Congrats on a great hunt!

Nice!!

 

I had three "Gobbles" today but couldn't close the deal....

had to leave the woods to pick up the kids.

Might have to try an end of day hunt

I've been seeing and calling them up this year in the afternoons. By the afternoons the hens will leave the toms and are easier to call most of the time. This guy came in to 40 yards and refused to come any closer. I didn't have any decoys as I was running and gunning. He was strutting like a boss than he took a dirt nap. Made a good shot at 40 yards through the woods. Now it's time to concentrate on getting my daughter a turkey.

Wow, look at that beard. Nice turkey!

If all goes as planned, I'll be in the woods Saturday.
