Was out this morning for a while. No bird yet. I had a couple birds gobble while still on the roost and had two hens fly down behind me. The hens clucked a little but then things got real quite. I had to pack up about 7:30 so I could get to work and saw two birds on a ridge 1/4 mile away. They busted me and snuck down the back side and were gone. Maybe tomorrow, don't want to be done too soon!

As I stated last week in "what season are you hunting" We had our Youth Learn to Hunt program this past weekend and had a blast. We had 12 students and mentors and we were lucky enough to have 6 of the students harvest gobblers. We had 3 adults and 3 jakes. The biggest bird going just over 24 lbs 10" beard and 1" spurs. All the kids saw birds and most worked some but just couldn't get them to come all the way in. I do believe we have added 12 more addicts to the gobbler chasing world!!
So that would take our total up to 7. Keep um coming guys!!

Make it 8.
Took a nice tom with my Knight muzzleloader shotgun at about 11:00 this morning. 10" beard and I'd guess around 23 or 24 pounds. Shot him at about 15 yards...should've had the bow instead
Too much wind to have a great roost hunt this morning, but patience payed off again. Good luck all!

This one will bring us to 10. Took him at 8:15 this morning and he had a 10.5 inch beard, 3/4 inch spurs and I would guess his weight to be in the 25lbs range. Had several hens around my decoys and he was just about to kick butt on that rubber jake when I let him have it. Those hens just hung around wondering what just happened.

Way to go TwoBeards...now you can change your name to ThreeBeards!! That a Rocket Sledgehammer by chance?? Passthrough or did you roll him over a few times. Post a pic of the hole if you have one.
Oh yeah, congrats for the 2nd time Limb. Jeesh, deaf & dumb birds all over. Saw 4 strutting toms off the bike trail just 100 yards from the lab buildings. I'm strapping my bow to my bike in the AM!!

Captain you are actually 14! Twobeards is the lucky number 13!
Knight muzzle loader makes it 17. 231/2 lbs 10 1/2 in beard and 1 3/8 in spurs. Setup on a bird gobbling on the roost about 150 yards away and made a few clucks to get him interested. Just as it got light enough to see the decoy ok I heard a noise behind me and a bird started to fly down. A large gobbler hit the ground less than 15 yards from me. He had not made a sound and never did gobble but I could hear him drum as he displayed for the decoy. I had to wait a little while so I could see better but he started to walk away so I stopped him with a soft putt and when he stuck his head up I shot him. The true-glow sights were wonderful because it was only 10 min after 6:00. The fire must have shot of that barrel 20 feet or more and when the smoke cleared the bird was down. 23 big steps away.
