    2024 Turkey Season!

    Can’t kill what isn’t there. I’d spend alot of time running and cutting during that forty-five minute window between when they wake up and shortly after they hit the ground. This is probably one of the more effective methods for locating birds. Not sure about the mountains, but this is my...

    Thanks. It was a good way to end the season. Makes me think I’m getting old to have passed. If there was such a thing as catch and release hunting, this was it.

    As you know from this thread we already have two birds in the freezer. I had given a lot of thought as to whether or not I’d pull the trigger if I got a chance. I decided I was going to be selective and unless I figured I was looking at spurs that were solidly over 1.5 inches, he was getting a...

    Shooting light came and went and he gobbled sparingly. I called in his direction and it took some coaxing to get a response but he eventually gobbled back. At 4:57 he finally hit the ground and ten minutes later he and a buddy appeared 125 yards away. A minute later they were on their way...

    Went in blind this morning and got set up plenty early. I was in the same spot I killed one late in the season last year. Shooting light was 4:45 am. At about 4:35 I thought I heard a gobble a long ways off. I decided to stay quiet and at 4:41 a crow started and was cut off rather quickly by...

    The birds ended up being roosted up on the neighboring property, somewhere between 250 and 350 yards away. Given the wind direction and the interstate noise, hearing them gobble probably would have been a pretty tall order. I’ve got a late season leftover tag that I’m not sure I’ll get a...

    Then it was photo time. Probably wouldn’t have gotten it done without the old school camo.

    The flock hung around for a bit while we called grandpa, who’d had already hopped in the truck.

    So, back to the action. I texted the photo of the birds to my Dad and made a few more yelps on the mouth call. The two toms moved down the hill several yards from their position in the photo above. They paused for a bit and seemed to survey the situation. Then they put their heads down and...

    The 3:15 am alarm came early. Once we got up, getting dressed, breakfast, the drive, and getting the cart packed to walk out went pretty smooth. Then the problems started. We got about 100 yards in to the soaking wet alfalfa and my daughter was not happy, as her boots and socks were wet. I...

    Well, youth season was two weeks ago. Now we’re in to the second week of the general season here in WI. We loaded the truck up and headed for NEW last night. This time it was my daughter’s turn. We were going in cold and only had this morning to hunt. It rained most of Friday afternoon so...

    Another good waste of TSS . . . better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it, as they say.
