Turkey Tour 2020

That red gate could tell some stories over the years....been hunting this river bottom since I was in junior high.

Congrats again!

Nice birds!
Congrats to all!

My daughter, SIL, and new grandbaby are now living between Decatur and Alvord. So, looks like I am hunting the grasslands this season. I'm from south Texas and don't have a clue where to start. Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

I saw today where Abbot is closing the state parks....not sure if that includes our little bit of public land

Next year should be great. I’ve never had this many jakes to contend with before. What really sucks is hearing a gobbling bird and not knowing if it’s a jake or tom.

You should have a pretty good idea listening to they way he gobbles. Not 100%....but more than not!

Yep, couldn't agree more, there is an audible difference between the two age classes. Wonder why he didn't post a pic of his successful jake hunt but posted a pic of his buddys kill?

this is where the patience and persistence of bowhunting (popup w/decoys) pays off...you sift though the jakes and (if you put in the time) the gobblers will change moods.

I'd bet your (what do you call it) "active" approach has scared a few birds the last few weeks?

I’ve heard half assed jake gobbles before but the birds in Menard and Blanco are pretty **** convincing. I’ve also heard some weak gobbling toms before. Also had a hen strut, spit, and drum for 15 minutes the other day. Lots of firsts for me. It’s been a strange season. Large group of birds roosted tonight. Should have a long beard down tomorrow.

Texas was great to me this year. Punched my last tag Saturday morning. I'll be headed to New Mexico this weekend to scout for their season that opens next week. I'm hoping I can get into the birds like last year. I did run into a few people, so my goal for this scouting trip is to find some additional ground. I love chasing those mountain birds.

I was able to get my bosses son on his first tom opening morning. Windy,damp,and cold but they came in on a string at the first spot. I haven’t had one interested since. Everything other bird I have seen has had multiple hens with them.
