Gobbler Nation

I am hunting in Orange County,NY. I took a nice 20 pounder with 1 1/8 inch spurs and a 8 inch beard--a 3 year old Took him somewhere in Orange County right next to the Wallkill River. Almost got my 2nd this morning. He was coming to the HS Strut Triple Glass pot and a Hen ran to him! morning ago, I...

Very little action in Erie & Wyoming counties. Saw many coyotes and 1 huge fisher in Erie county. Haven't made it down to my Cattaraugus county property yet. Any one else heard of fishers possibly killing turkeys on the roost? Ron's son saw fisher last week. Ron & I saw 1 a couple of years ...

We gave it a Shot! How'd we do that when I never shoulder the 11-87?? :dontknow: :banghead: They still aren't Gobbling on our side! :violent1: I talked with Ron yesterday while sitting in mt bind during a rain storm & they still hadn't done any good. :banghead: Evan has a Day off School on Mond...

Always a good time at The Roost. Thx.

I gotta be honest I don't feel that bad reading this. In the past 2 weeks I have called in 4 different gobblers. 3 I gave haircuts with my broadheads and one that caught me drawing and spooked ! I think not hearing any at all would be a better excuse ! :toothy7: :banghead: :dontknow: :oops: Trust m...

So far, I have called in/seen 1 gobbler (missed) & seen 1 jake (shoulda shot) & 6 hens. I haven't heard any gobbles except from the 1 I missed. When I 1st started hunting these woods 10-12 years ago, it was nothing to hear 4-6 birds every morning. The last 2-3 years have been tough & get...

Day 18 – 05/10 Sometime around 01:45 this morning, a couple of storms blew through. The 1st put on a real light show making it seem like mid day with some very loud thunder boomers included. There was about a 5 minute span of calm before the 2nd storm rolled through which was not nearly as impressiv...

Day 15 – 05/07 It was 48 at 05:25, ½ moon, clear skies, & a slight breeze when I was ready to go at my primary spot. I did a little tree calling at 06:00 with a flydown cackle. I called sporadically with no response. At 08:40, a hen walked in from the west & checked out the hen decoy. I was ...

Leupold VX-1 1-4x20mm with the Turkey Plex Reticle. The reticle also acts as a range finder. At 4 power & 40 yards, the head files the circular reticle.

Chenango.

Day 1 – 05/01 Got to the spot above the cemetery at 04:45 with a temp of 30, a bright moon, & no wind. I waited until 07:00 before I started calling. A bird responded way to my west. He responded well & sounded like he was coming. He double gobbled at 07:45 & that was the last I heard fr...

Day 5 – 04/27 It was 43 with a slight breeze at 05:45 this morning at my 2ndry hoods. Driving over, the moon was directly in front of me & bright yellow. It was nearing the horizon so it was still pretty dark at the woods. I started calling about 06:30 every 20 -30 minutes with not even a peep. ...

Good luck. You'l make him pay eventually. I sure hope you're right, Thx. Have you or will you make it up this spring? Doubtful - my lifelong hunting buddy sold his Meigs County land and moved "to town". From now on my OH excursion may be over. Looking at some spots in the Daniel Boone NF ...

Congrats. It's been tough sledding here in Crawford Cty. You're up yonder in the colder country. Spring comes a little earlier down on the Ohio river. In a week or so you'll be rolling! It's supposed to start warming up starting Mon but still only mid 40s to mid 60s. I usually have already cut seve...

There are some reeeeaaally old callers here who will remain nameless (Billie & Ronnie) but I'm not sure what they've proven except that they excel in longevity.

Been there done that. Nice looking bird too.The deer were cool too. Get back out there and show him who's boss. He was a gooder un, that's for sure. I knew there were 2-3 deer there but it looked like 6 or so. I was surprised that the trail cam picked them up as it is probably 60-70 yards away. It ...

Yep. Always learn more from a miss but I seem to figure out new ways to mess up once in awhile.

This 1 will stick with me for quite a while.

It always sucks to miss, but is sounds like you actually missed and that’s good. I’ve missed a bunch. A whole bunch... most from not keeping my head down shooting beads. A few from them being 3-10 yards and bobbing as I squeezed the trigger. Good luck to payback! It looked like a clean miss since h...

Why is it that I don't believe your 1st statement?? Maybe cuz we've been there & done that more than once??

I sure as hell hope that is the only miss this year.
