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...- NEWHunter

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.- NEWHunter

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...- NEWHunter

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...- NEWHunter

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...- NEWHunter

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...- NEWHunter

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...- NEWHunter
