tomgobbler Report post Posted yesterday at 04:22 AM Was an absolutely amazing year for birds - gobblers everywhere this year - I’m not quite sure of why so much success- if the really warm dry year set them off a little earlier or the mild winter wasn’t as hard on them I don’t know - but an abundance of turkeys this year - I’ve had about 2 dozen birds come into my shop this year - way more then in years past and a huge chunk of those were from the youth hunt . lots and lots of sightings and successes . 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stanley Report post Posted 15 hours ago No bird died, but I had a freaking awesome weekend with a first-time turkey hunter buddy of mine. Good vocal gobbling action and plenty of birds. Didn't close the deal, mainly because I'm mostly a wanna be turkey calling hack but it was a blast. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trphyhntr Report post Posted 15 hours ago I was in unit 1 the last 3 days and it didn’t seem that hot. I could have shot a couple out the window or stalked them but I really want to call one in. I made some nice setups did what everyone has been telling me to do, but they didn’t come in. yesterday I set up in front of one, he was gobbling on the ground. I setup, call once he immediately cuts me off close. I don’t call again, I see him out on the tree line, he just keeps walking. That’s was brutal tbh. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ha that’s always tough when you see them walking off. Unit 1 was rough for us this year. Seemed like it was a few weeks off, but also I am not a great caller. One of my boys had a few shots but didn’t connect. The feathers above were my niece that ended up with a nice 2-3 year old bird. Always a good time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This late in the season, challenge those Toms with a gobble if you can do a good one. Cut them off mid gobble like you would a bull elk. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arizona Wanderings Report post Posted 13 hours ago I don't post much but can't resist bragging on my son and daughter's first birds. My son shot his on the juniors hunt and I turned my first season tag over to my daughter. Having them be successful on a hunt was truly one of my greatest accomplishments. .410 with TSS loads at 15 yards does the trick. 9 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigorange Report post Posted 8 hours ago Had a fun few days on San Carlos with friends. Some gobbling just about every day but not coming to calls. Friend ended up shooting his run n gun after it crossed in front of us. Lots of bears including one that mangled one of our coolers in camp. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trphyhntr Report post Posted 8 hours ago Just talked to someone that was on my hunt as well. Said he killed on his first stand first time turkey hunting. So I’ll be quitting turkey hunting now. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I could have smashed a turkey with like a 3” beard from the passenger seat of the sedan I was driving….But I missed 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
