A Report From The Woods - Today I went on my first Turkey Hunt, and just like my first Deer Hunt..I AM HOOKED!! Theres nothing better than pin-pointing a flock of turkey and having them come in to your calling. The hunt was successful, My buddy Frank was the shooter and I was the caller. We had a nice Jake respond to our calls and come right in on us. It was a PERFECT shot. This Saturday I will be the Shooter.. Good Turkey Huntin to ALL....  |

That sounds like an awesome hunt! I had no problem locating the turkeys this morning before dawn. I set up about 20 yards from the birds. They were all up in the tree still gobbling their heads off, masking the sounds of my steps. Their was 4 gobblers and quite a few hens. A had one close to my left, another to my right and a few a little further away. The first came down off roost at 6:10am, 150 yards further away. Then the rest followed. The last gobbler still in a tree was the closest one. At 6:20 he also flew 150 yards away. I expected them to drop down to the base of the tree for an easy shot. That didn't happen. I waited 5 more minutes and got up to move closer to the valley they had flew into. As I took a few steps a hen, who was directly above me(never saw or heard her) saw me and flew toward the others scaring them all away. That was the last bird I saw. Live and learn I guess. 6:30 and my hunt was over. But it was still one of the coolest hunts I've had. Try again this week!!!!!!!! Happy hunting!

Me & my buddy Gio went out today (Thursday) & located some roosted gobblers early in the morning. We set up about 120 yards away & saw them come down from the trees. It wasn't long until we had 7 of them coming straight toward us. I was calling & he was set up behind a porta-roof blind. When they got about 25 yards away he fired & took his first bird. It was a clean shot & the turkey buckled. I think he's going to put a picture up later!!!!!!!! Turkey hunting is awesome!
