Team 4 = Gobbler Getters

[IlliniWalli]

heres pix of my second and third tom this season.

called mondays bird in off the roost, eventually, in the drizzle and fog. he hung up across a ditch but i was able to move a little closer to him to make him think the hen was comin. he came across the ditch and brought a buddy with him.

first one bolted but i was able to get the other one before he split. 10 inch beard, 1 inch spurs and weighed a hair under 23 pounds.

thursday was opening day of fourth season. called one in silent off the roost but he saw me before i saw him.

took off later trollin. heard a distant gobble, kept workin closer to him before he broke fast and strutted in less than 20 yards away before i had a clear shot.

he went 22.5, 10, 1.25.

not the best in the field pix but was using the self timer....

Sorry guy's. Hunted only 3 days and had only one tom come in close. Only came to about 60 yards away and just didnt want to commit to me. They seemed to be real skitish this year from what thye say where I was hunting.. Big nothing.. Dillon

whats up guys??? well i talked to grandma today, and just asked not really trying. if she knew anybody that had land i could go and hunt turkeys. she told me yea some of my cousins. so got there number going to make some calls tonight. I asked her if we are good with that side of the family. and she said we are. so if it works out great and if it dosent, im at the same place im at right now. i know just "cold turkey:)" calling people is a long shot. but you miss %100 of the shots you dont take.

This is outside of Luck, Wisconsin. is that a good area?

The population is way down in this part of the state after the winter of 2010/2011. There's still pockets of birds here and there, just not what it was a couple years ago. You may be sitting on a jem, just don't have your hopes set too high.

I would try and talk to the farmer to see where and when he sees them.

Good luck!

DOnbo- your right. i know my hopes are not to high. im just excited to get the oppurtunity to hunt. and everyday im thankful for that. if it was about the killing i would have stop hunting a long time ago.
