Week 1 Opening day...I killed biggest gobbler of my life! Thursday opening week..... I killed the second and biggest coyote ever! Saturday the 20th.... I called in and got a first time hunter a big old mature gobbler! all from the same tree! Week 2 Wednesday..... took another young man out and 2 missed oppurtunities. ( no shot fired).... birds were goin crazy!! Gobbling! Thursday... they changed their roost site..... messed us up..no gobbling after 7 am... Today (Saturday 27th)... one gobble from daylight till 11:15..... saw 4 hens..one at 15 yards... one jake..at 175 yards.... This week..I got beat...and humbled by these turkeys!! I only have maybe 3 more hunts left... I hope it picks up quickly!! I spent this entire week calling for others... I really do want another turkey! I hope this Thursday..my next day and possibly last day really needs to go good!! However...regardless of how the rest of my short season is... I thank God every single day that He has given us this/His AMAZING Creation and our fredom to hunt!! He is so good! |

You have already had a great season. Besides killing a big gobbler yourself, you have done the most important thing a turkey hunter can do for turkey hunting and that is recruit a new hunter. Years ago the biggest threat to turkey hunting was scarcity of turkeys but now it is scarcity of hunters. Enjoy the rest of your season. |
