setterguy Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Ken - you know as well as I do, this time of year I'm lucky if I even get into the batters box, let alone get to take a swing. Weather permitting I may get back out in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerstroke Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Stein Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 hang in there setterguy its just a matter of time.

Scott Stein Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Powerstroke Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 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.

Powerstroke Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
