I just got back from a drive around my house had 2 toms 30-40yds off the road with a bunch of hens probly 10-12 they took off right away but the toms stayed and strutted away for 15-20 minutes they never even left when I drove away they were still there. So thats another spot for my boy to bang one. Wish I would've had the camera with next time I will.

Hey all, Ryan here. I will be hunting May 6th in area 435. NW of Redwood Falls. I can't wait!

Awesome job Shiner! I have a few birds that I have been watching. Some of the guys that I know around the area said that the birds are very decoy shy. I had the same thing last year....it really sucked. I am fairly new to this I guess u would say. I have shot 3 toms and a jake. Last year I would have shot a jake no problem. The birds just were not responding to the calls and decoys last year (was probably me) Good luck guys and sorry I did not respond earlier.

Shiner get that submission in.

I'm supposed to be leaving Wed night but looks like works gonna screw me up only gonna be able to hunt Fri-Sun but we'll stay out all day. I'm gonna try bowhunting Fri. see how it works out and bring the gun with Sat-Sun. Also looks like rain Fri-Sun that sucks. Probably gonna end up stuck in the blind. At least the woods aren't in full bloom yet you can still see quit a ways.

How are you other guys doing?

Checked out some land that I have been hunting for a long time last night. There was 3 big toms together and also 7 jakes together on the same spot. The one tom was a huge one that I would love to submit to the forum. I went out about 2 hours ago and saw what I think is the same bird and he was very close to the same spot only down the hillside farther. Things are looking up! Good luck all!

Sorry guys, new job has kept me off the computer. I did get a nice tom on Tuesday the 29th. I obviously hunted C season down near Rushford. I tell you the weather did not cooperate. Cold/snow flurries Sat. Rain on Sunday, Snow on Monday. Tom gobbling like crazy right into my decoys on Tuesday. I have to load pics (I might need some assistance with that) I was surprised he was as light as he was, only 19#, 9" beard but had some long spurs, both 1 1/4", nice hooks and an old bird. Did not see many birds and gobbling was down as well. I'm not sure if the hard winter was the cause or if it was just the cruddy weather during my season.

Good luck to the rest of team #8!
