Just getting comfy in the blind now

[DonBo]

Sadly I'm getting pushed out of my best metro spots - BUT - Archerysniper and I are leaving for the Black Hills on Friday. We both had such a good time last year that we are really looking fwd to going again.  After we get back I've still got three tags for two different seasons in Wisconsin.  Fingers crossed for a great season yet to come, good luck one and all.

Passed on a few Tom's the first morning hoping my granddaughter would have a chance. She had to go home to her moms Friday afternoon without a bird. I've been checking the area and found a bunch of birds but they are not coming out in the open for me. So I set up a blind in the woods yesterday and shot this guy at 0635. Now to let them settle down for next sat morning, getting my granddaughter back for a week. The bird is well over 20 lbs

Way to go featherslayer1! Way to go you in season scouting to close the deal.  Hopefully your granddaughter gets when she is back to hunt.

we had a great hunt and I

have a new favorite experience calling a bird in for a friend. All I could see was Don being a turkey ninja while I was calling. It was something you would dream of being a turkey hunter.

I bet there are a few more turkeys to be entered yet.  If not, there is still plenty of season left to get one!

[Wanderer]

C season didn’t go so well for me.  Big change in the weather and bird behavior in my area and the only toms I saw were roosted by the time I did see them!  I’m hoping to make some time still during the Hail Mary season.

 

Thanks for posting the score tracker.

Good luck! I bet the toms will be more cooperative late season.

Just don’t let your dad sit in your blind without you

[Abndoc]

Geez of course the one year I forget to sign up the kid and I got it done. He got a bonus when he called in this coyote to 10 yards!! Good luck to those still out there!

[Scoot]

Abndoc, signed up or not, that's outstanding!

[Borch]

Congrats to both of you!

Carp!  I’m going to have to get serious about my measurements here.  I just rough scored my bird I got this morning at 64.775! 

 

Bathroom scale and a yardstick type measuring but:

When I started hunting the later seasons down south I had more consistent success.  Seems like it wasn’t a bad play this year after a disappointing C season.  I pretty much knew the night before all I had to do to get that bird was get up early enough.  He was gobbling like crazy from his roost the night before.  Lonely and jacked up!

[Borch]

Congrats Wanderer!  Shoot Rick a PM to make arrangements for your prize.  

 

Thanks everyone!  It was a challenging but fun season.

[Scoot]

Congrats Wanderer!  Thanks once again Borch for doing this. 

[Wanderer]

Yes - absolutely thank you to Borch for running this again!

 

And thanks to everyone who entered!  Having the contest and getting some encouragement helped me get more back in tune to the spring turkey season than I have been lately.  And learn the lesson (again) to not under estimate what’s available and what can happen for anyone.
