Way to go Wally Dog. and everyone else!!  I am bow hunting mn right nowwith Nebraska in the near future. I took my 8 year old grandson out which was a personal go for me and he shot a beauty 24lb. and a10" beard so its my turn now. My son and I went sunday morning and called up a huge tom with one hen. Had him coming to us from about 150 yards and then he was joined by 2 jakes. He still tried to push the hen in our direction while keeping the jakes at bay. He got to 42 yards (range finder), at one time but did not offer a good shot opportunity and thought about shooting him but he was still  working his way with his hen to us. One of the jakes kept harrassing him and he ended up working back toward the fence. Matt ranged him walking away at 60 yards and I thought it would be the only chance so I put the sight just in the middle of his fan and let him have it. Just a bit low as Matt watched the arrow hit between his legs. He jumped and walked further away with the crew. I thought at one time Matt could call him back as he did turn and strut and headed a few steps back toward us. It'll happen yet. Got alot of time.

been a fun season so far

put up blind along some brush yesterday since there are no good trees to set up against in this spot

finally got one to gobble a few times, but he went silent about 150 yards away. 20 minutes later he cut loose 10 yards behind me.

he was strutting for the dekes out in the field and when he turned his fan toward me i stood up so i could shoot out a back window and got the gun ready. my arms were starting to shake from holding the gun for so long before he finally cleared some brush gave me a shot

The birds were vocal and cooperative in the Clearwater region this weekend.  My uncle from St Cloud came to hunt turkeys for the first time and got several great shows. All 3 longbeards weighed in between 16.5 and 17.5#.  Telling light weights based on a tougher than normal winter.  Now to Oregon this weekend and South Dakota next Wednesday.

I still gotta tag Moose! I'm going for a Tom only!!   (Personal thing) is ,,, I want to do it with my bow

[Illini Walli]

so ... dillon has a bird to enter and 1957 is still hunting?

looks like we are in good shape, but lot of guys still hunting in MN and WI, i assume

 

ended my season friday. got the blind set up before the shower started. it quit right before sunrise time and there was lots of gobbling on the roost a couple hundred yards away but none where i heard them close by when scouting a couple days earlier.

a few distant gobbles on the ground, then nothing after the rain and wind picked up again. finally saw a hen step out of the woods about 830 and start heading toward me. soft yelps kept her coming, then out steps a big tom and several more hens heading my way

but when they got to an opening in the fence from the stalk field into another timber, the tom paused, i had the bead on him, decided it was too far, and then they were gone

the rain quit a half hour later and i ramped up the calling with some louder yelps and cutts. a few minutes later a head comes over a rise in the field and its a solo tom. he ignored the dekes and headed toward the fence gap where the others went, stopped and fanned without gobbling, but some soft yelps, clucks and purrs kept him coming my way. dropped him at 40 yards

after stepping it off to where he lay, i kept going to where the other tom left the field and it was 55 big steps, so glad i didnt shoot

went 23, 10, 1 but the rain cut loose again on the way back to the truck so i didnt take pictures
