The birds seem more like the 3 weekend at our lease with this warm weather.They didn't gobble very good sat. i took my son and we finally got on two good gobbling birds and they wouldn't leave the hens in the field to come to us and since the field was off our prop we just called and had fun with them.That afternoon I saw a big gobbler with two hens in another fild off our lease but they were only 50 yards from our line and were going that way to roost.


I snuck a couple hundred yards and got infront of them.The hens came with in 10 yards or so and stayed there for 4 minutes then the gobbler finally showed up.I was laying on my stomach because I had no cover.I had to shoot up hill and I guess I pulled my shot a little at 30 yards.I had to chase the bird down and tackle him.

This morning they gobbled good but were all off my lease and around 840 they all shut up.I gave them an hour and went back.I finally got one to gobble on our lease and he was close.He had a hen but I finally got him to come around a fallen treee to take a look.

Bird 1 23 lbs 9 3/4 " beard and 1 3/8 " spurs
bird 2 22 lbs 10 " beard and 1 1/8 " spurs

I feel bad for my son.I took him and we didn't get one then I go out alone two times and take two birds.

glad no one saw that :D my gun jammed so i couldn't shoot it again.I grabbed it one time and got the tail feathers after 30 seconds of running around i got close and jumped on it like a football.I landed on a rock with my shin.The gobbler today put a spur right in the same place .they must have been related.lol
