Saturday was opening day in AR for the zone my buddy owns a couple hundred acres in. Due to an issue at work, I couldn't hunt Saturday morning so I left about ten thirty, made pretty good time, and rolled into Cushman, AR about 12:30 pm yesterday. Helped move a stand, insulate an activity room, ate supper, then hit the evening woods to try to roost some. Heard a single gobble right at 8PM last night.
Eased back in this morning and wound up across a deep holler from three gobbling birds...made a move at 7:15 this morning and wound up killing a nice two year old...23 lbs, 9.5 beard, and 7/8ths spurs. This was my first bird in a few years and only my second turkey hunt in four years. First hunt here two years ago, I put a nice long beard in my buddy's lap at 18 yards an he couldn't close the deal.
I believe I might go back.
