I was guiding for a young lady's first turkey yesterday morning. They beat us up pretty bad off and the roost and the gobblers and majority of the flock slide south of us while 4 hens kept us pinned in our set up until 8:30. The stormy weather had them acting goofy. We caught up with the flock around 10 am about a one mile down. She made a good shot and had her first bird. Nice mature 9 3/4' beard with 1 1/8 spurs. Sun popped up and it got hot, but we saw a few more gobblers standing in the shade under large oak trees until we packed it in at lunch.

Did you call it in or ambush it when you got back on the flock? Seems like several of the folks I know down south hunting them are having to get in their path, because everything is flocked up. Hopefully they are a little more responsive in two weeks when we get to go at them..Last edited by Smart; 03-17-2024, 10:48 AM.

We struck this morning where we saw the birds yesterday afternoon. Avery shot her bird at about 8 yards. He kicked the heck out of our Jake decoy. About an hour and a half later I put the sneak on a lone tom out sunning himself. Pretty good Sunday morning. Good solid 2 year old birds will make you feel like a hero. Anyways, we are off the egg

Kid shot one late this morning. They were henned up bad for us off the roost and quiet. We went back and set up about 1030- Called in a lone hen and she was standing there for about 20 minutes by her decoy friend yelping- She called in a group of 7 more hens and had this guy with them.
