Borch Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Well wondering if anyone is going to be out in the heat for the last turkey season. I was out last night and just needed a nice strutter to get a bit closer. I moved the blind to his entry/exit point. He didn't want to follow the hen when she walked by my blind twice. He stayed on the high ground in the field. Hoping for better results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brittman Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I would be out a morning or two if I still had the tag. Afternoons must be a sauna in a blind. We hunted in shorts and t-shirts in early May and were still hot when afternoon temps reached around 82 - 85 degrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borch Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 Had a decent breeze last night so wasn't too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I'm going to give it one last hoorah tomorrow morning. Going to be a quick effort before work but I've got a couple toms patterned pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderer Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 It’s amazing to me to look back already and realize 1.5 days around C season time will be the story of my entire archery season this year. Just too much other stuff going on AGAIN this spring to make an honest season out of it. Full on fishing during any spare moments now. Good luck out there!

Borch Posted May 25, 2018 Author Share Posted May 25, 2018 Trying to decide where to sit if I got out tonight. In the blind with good west exposure for the breeze this afternoon/evening or the spot with more consistent movement but likely very little breeze. Hmm..... I'm leaning towards the breeze...

eyeguy 54 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 you might cook at both spots. good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borch Posted May 25, 2018 Author Share Posted May 25, 2018 That's why it's an if... It'll be nicer in the morning. But you can't shoot one from the couch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I gave it my last shot of the year this morning and I juked and the turkeys jived. They have been rolling through the same spot for the last couple mornings and unfortunately went a different direction this morning. That's it for me! Unfortunately I have obligations until the season is done now. Morgan, Logan, and I all finished with unpunched tags. Darn pea-brained birds won this time.

Borch Posted May 25, 2018 Author Share Posted May 25, 2018 Hey, it happens. Think I'm tilling the garden tonight and will chase turkeys in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad second fiddle. I won’t be a cooking hobo in a blind this weekend. Edited May 25, 2018 by Wanderer Mike89 and leech~~ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borch Posted May 26, 2018 Author Share Posted May 26, 2018 Very quiet so far. Maybe one distant gobble on the roost but couldn't tell for sure. At least the mosquitos seem to have calmed down in the last 10 minutes some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borch Posted May 26, 2018 Author Share Posted May 26, 2018 Now they're gobbling... seem to be getting a little closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borch Posted May 26, 2018 Author Share Posted May 26, 2018 Had 3 long beards come out gobbl8ng and running but not to me. Had them all fired up but they obviously had another destination in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borch Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 Well Sunday morning was full of activity but not any real opportunities. Lots of gobbling to start the day with it slowly fizzling out around 9am. Did have 4 jakes inside of 20 yards but passed on them. A bit later I had plenty of toms and hens but none in range. Although, if I had sat in the truck I would have had multiple opportunities. This morning will be short hunt due to commitments so hopefully some of the same birds show up or others that gobbled but didn't show. I grabbed another blind and set up in a grass strip that the birds have been spending a lot if time in. Hopefully I don't regret not staying in the truck.

paceman Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Went out a few mornings this past weekend trying to get my son on a bird. Heard a bunch, saw a few jakes/hens but nothing close. Very Hot and lots of mosquitos. May get out the next 2 mornings for short hunts. You just never know..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123fish Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 My cousin shot a nice tom on Memorial Day morning. He said he saw a lot more tom activity this last season and in the heat than he did in his earlier May season. If you have the opportunity keep hunting.

paceman Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I guess he was showing that they can shoot multiple birds each season in Missouri? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siwulat Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I had to recheck the MN regs to make sure something major didn’t change! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
