Haven’t had many chances to hunt (3)

Got two gobbling 200 yards north and 100 yards south and came up empty handed. Lord knows I was six to midnight. Never been in that situation.

Makes me sad knowing it’s coming to an end and I didn’t get all the hunts I planned for.

Had a new baby in November.

Anyway

Cheers to a good last weekend for everyone in MS. Hope they are sounding off.

PS: I’m waking up at 2:30am to drive two and a half hours to give them one more try.

Wife isn’t happy but she doesn’t get it.

Thankfully my MIL stepped up and is watching one of the three boys tonight

My buddy got a couple at my place. They quit gobbling a couple weeks ago in SE MS. I aint mad, i usually see dozens in deer season and none in the spring...maybe next year.

Struck out but had him gobbling in the high wind.

Cut the distance and silence. Waited…..used wingbone as we are about to leave and he gobbles louder than we’d heard all morning.

Then he stopped and we moved closer down a ridge and saw him walking in front of a hen. Couldn’t get a shot.

Pretty cool hunt though

Yeah the first hunting season with an infant hit here too. Was able to get a great gobbler in early March. Had another at 6 steps last weekend but couldn’t swing to get the shot. All in all super fun abbreviated season

this was my first turkey season ever. i learned alot. i learned about their behavior, calling, patterning a shotgun, alot for a simple novice.

My last hunt of the year i had 2 gobbling back and forth...one to my front (about 150 yards away) and one to my right (about 100 yards away). it was so cool just listening to them. one to my right was getting closer and closer and closer and the adrenaline rush i had setting up my gun just waiting for him to come out was FAR greater than the biggest buck i have ever killed. sadly, he never came out (i believe he had a hen with him because i heard some yelping too) and i heard his gobbles sound like they were going away. it was so much fun and i cant wait for next year
