Attaboy Swamp!!

Thanks!

Sure got windy and cold quick. This guy was my only visiter last night. Didn't gobble until he was 5 10 yards right of my blind and scared the crap out of me. It was awesome!

This morning was a nice 29 degree morning.... at least the wind had calmed down to only 15 to 20... and could get a few gobbles here and there.

Love me some Spring Thunder!

Whats up fellas?



This guy decided to die up in a tree. Took me a while to figure out what happened. Walked a mile to find him 40 yds away.

Here is the LDP (vs a HUP???). sure did tear up that fan flying up into that tree... was kind of a pain getting him down... never thought to bring loppers to search for a hit bird... now I need to remember to look up every now and again when trailing

What a weekend!

Was able to get a hunt in this morning. 30 degrees is not my favorite turkey hunting conditions. They hammered pretty hard on the roost and went completely silent upon fly down. But we managed to get one to come in silent about an hour after daylight. Never gobbled until he was 50 yards away. Once he saw the DSD’s it was over. 10 1/2” beard and 1 1/8” spurs

Anyone want to keep a running total of dead birds posted to this thread?

We have 13 from our place this year....all TBHers or their kids and then Popo....incredible decoy action opening weekend and Thursday-Sat this weekend....

[ClayW]

It would take me forever to recap this weekend so I’ll just let the photos do it for me.

Welcome beers



Bird #1 - Group of 5 came in and pounded the full strutter



Bird #2 - The next morning right off the roost



LDP


PoPo got one with his crossbow and the other with his 50+ year old 4.10






These were by far the most consistently aggressive birds I’ve ever hunted. The poor decoys took a beating!!!

Thanks again Smart for the invite and hospitality. For the last 2 years, this is THE trip that PoPo and I look forward to the most! Humper, Lance, and Rick....nice meeting/seeing you guys!

Way to go Smart Clay! Yall had a heckuva weekend. Congrats

[ClayW]

Reports from Sonora are that the birds are just as hot as they were this past weekend. Hope that’s true!

Not sure what time I can get on the road on Thursday but I’ll for sure make the Friday morning hunt.

This wind is killing my afternoon hunts during the week. Sure wish it would blow under 20 one of these days
