Bird gobbled at 5:35 and I started easing to him expecting something closer. I keep getting closer and nothing else gobbles except him and a buddy roosted with him. I cross a creek, climb a steeeep ridge, get on top and move to him. Then I see the gravel road I can't cross. Nothing else has gobbled so I decide I'm going to have to call them across the road even though I know that's probably impossible. I set up and hit the Darrin Dawkins aluminum and they hammer back. As does a bird on my side 100 yards away and one behind me about 60. I make another call and all 4 hammer back. I had a feeling about the close one so I turn around and get ready. He flies down, gobbles on the ground a couple times as he's coming straight to the Darrin Dawkins "hen". At 33 yards I let the Hevishot go to work. 22 pounds 14 ounces, 10 inch beard, 3/4 spurs. Dead at 6:30 on my first morning in MO.

Thanks Setterman! Bad part is I can't kill another til the second week (Monday) so I guess I'll hang around the lodge and fish. 80% chance of rain tomorrow so at least I can sleep in and miss the rain! :tu:
 
What part of MO are you in ?
I hate that regulation....I have not even stepped foot in the woods here yet, although all I have is a little public ground close to me.

Congrats on ur kill!

Congrats! TL, they only allow you to kill one bird the first week or so and then allow you to take your second bird the last half.

Wow that's another reason I am glad Tn ain't like all the other states. That would absolutely drive me insane.

Iowa is weird like that too. You can only kill one bird in the first 3 weeks but then you can buy a second tag in the 4th week
 
Congrats SH and best of luck on #2 next week. In MO, you can kill one the 1st week and one 2nd/3rd week, or both during 2nd/3rd week, but only one a day and two for the entire season. Furthermore, you can only have 3 shells total in your gun (need a plug).
 
Wow that must have felt good after all the frustration on your nemesis back in TN. Congrats! Wish I could hunt em off the roost like I used to. Pretty bird, and looks like a pretty piece of land too

Didn't MO use to only have a one bird limit?

If so, it has been 25+ years ago. Hunting stops at 1PM daily, as it has for years.

1 pm dang with my work schedule, if I had to stop at 1 pm I'd never hunt for more than 3 hours
