Cheetah Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 My MN hunt moved up to this coming weekend. Though my wife is making it a shorter hunt than I wanted. I'll do my best to shoot a dumb private land bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooter Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I head out tomorrow am, see what happens - they shot 3 birds between fri and sat last week where i am going. Still have back up spots and should be able to put something together. Sounds like a rainy forecast.....oh well. Back to work thurs and off friday. Will report, sounds like the dumb private land birds are in the freezer - guess i will have to outsmart the wise ones! 870 is ready! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheetah Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 Hunted last night and had one gobble near me but never came out. Called a hen to the field a bit later. This morning no gobbles. Hens are in the valley below me. Hoping something comes by. Rain coming soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooter Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Nothing doing for me, had a couple small toms around yesterday and they could care less about my calls. My main spot has been a complete bust, dunno if they killed em off last week or what. Might go in the rain tomorrow at a last ditch effort in a new spot, otherwise about ready to throw in the towel......No complaints, had a great time afield!

Cheetah Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 I've been hunting in the rain here. Sat through a bad downpour yesterday but the blind kept me dry. The property I started in has only a few hens on it. Got permission a mile over on a great spot but the birds are in a valley over the fence. Had 7 hens come out this morning. Heard a gobble behind me a little while ago. Sitting through more rain now and hoping they come back out to the fields in the next couple hours before I decide to pack it up.

Cheetah Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 After the rain stopped yesterday morning I walked the field edge to see if I could spot any birds before I packed it up. Looking out across the valley onto the next farm I could see 20 birds out in one of their fields... Better luck next year I guess. Here is a nice photo from the weekend.

bmc Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 All a person can do it try guys. The turkeys have had my number for most of the last 15 years. I didn't even hunt some of those years due to frustration. LOL Slowly the tide is changing in my favor. With the weather straightening out for the next few days, I would think those soaking wet toms would be active. Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
