10a-2p is killing time for gobblers. I love watching the woods wake up and listening to them gobble on the roost, but often kill late morning early afternoon....Comment

Without going back through the whole thread, what about decoys? Are you using them yet?Originally posted by Becka Marie View Post
If I know where they are roosting, half of my work is done. Set up a decoy that can be seen within 100 yards of the roost. Sometimes I'll give out an owl hoot, in the dark (they will gobble back) just to be sure where they are. You can stay in stealth mode until they fly down and start calling, but I usually don't have the self control. I'll jack with those boys until they are so fired up they can't wait to see gets to the hen first!

Like they were saying. 10-2 is when you have an excellent chance of killing a lonely gobbler. They are sometimes henned up in the morning and can get hung upComment

Good luck today.
It stinks that thunder chicken season is so short... and it makes it more frustrating. But if nothing else, you have put in a ton of work and have learned alot.

Are you waiting and trying a 10-2 hunt?

They can be killed anytime of the day. Yes they are hard to separate from a hen right at flydown. But I’m not giving up my sunrises and birds gobbling from the limb
Stay with it and put as much time in the woods as you can

Ugh.... nothing today! A couple gobbles off about 300-400 yards away but nothing to come in. I’m seriously considering calling it after today and heading back. I could stay the next 2 days but I’m already feeling defeated, I don’t think I have it in me.
I don’t consider it a failure, I’ve learned a lot and it was quite the experience that’s for sure. This was my first trip alone and my first crack at turkeys so I’m not too disappointed in myself. I just need more practice and for the days I was actually on them, it was more fun than I’ve had in a long time.
We’ll see how the rest of the week plays out.
I appreciate all the feedback and suggestions, it helps more than you guys realize! Thanks so much!
