Its always tough to work around the weather, but if you've got blind its worth it to stick it out in the rain, especially if you've got a good field. They like being in the open since they can't trust their ears in the woods with all the rain noise.

Good luck setterguy

well here is my contribution a 12.5 lb jake w/ 3 1/4 beard and no spurs. Had a rough morning with blowing snow and packed it up about 10 came home for a nap and when i went back out at noon there were 8 birds strutting around my blind. Talk about a slap in the face. So i came home and went out and hour later after they had gone into the woods and sat in the blind and all of sudden here came a hen and when i looked back over 2 jakes were flowing here. They circled the Pretty Boy and the hen decoy about 5 times b4 i could get a shot. Cant complain for my first turkey ever. How do i put the pics on here?? anyone

Cmon guys!! We dropped to page three!!!

I thought I would bring us back to the top. I certainly don't have any news to offer other than I'm getting pretty pumped up. I start bowhunting for the beard-dragging toms on friday.

Way to go Ken!!! I just sent you an email back.

I'm heading back out for the Big Tom tomorrow.

We had 5 turks within 100 yds yesterday. 2 jakes and 2 hens stayed in our field from 6:00 until they roosted right on the edge of our field. It was tough waiting till dark to leave the blind.

These birds made no noise at all last night or this morning. They hung out in our field again this morning for an hour or two before meandering away.

Can we say henned up?!? Geez. The only birds I've seen so far we with at least one hen. They were angling for a larger harem, but unwilling to come investigate.

I'm going to try something different tomorrow.

    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
