I embark on my second turkey tag tomorrow AM zone 2 around home, I have not seen much out lately so not expecting much but it will be nice to get out and maybe see a bird or two, we'll see.

goodhuntin all!

It’s been a good year of running and gunning public ground for the kid and I so far. I’ll try to punch another tag tomorrow to catch up with my boy. 

Been a bit of a struggle this year. Did kill this Jake during  period B. Hunting again this week hoping for a tom, but pretty quiet so far.

eyesman... stick with it you'll get um!

Im surprised with the thousands of licenses and turkeys harvested that theres not many reports.

An ominous start to my time period D hunt. Left the house at 4:15 to get out in my blind, 5 minute ATV ride, only to be greeted by angry skies steady rumbles of thunder and flashes of lightning. Took the quick ride out ahead of the rain, got to the blind only to have a lone turkey fly off the roost from a tree next to the blind. Got set up and now a steady rain. Radar shows only one small band of storms but has to run right over my setup. Will wait it out and hopefully it will pass. With all the racket of the thunder and rain calling is not an option. Couldn’t hear the birds even if they are vocal. 

Zone 1, time period "C", at my friend's place by Mauston. Last Wednesday, first day of the season, heard a lot of gobbling and saw a lot of birds. But the woods are still so open just couldn't get a bird to commit and come in. So I went and set up under an apple tree in a field with a creek bottom off to one side. Called a couple nice toms up out of the creek bottom and as soon as they cleared the brush (about 25 yards away) at the edge of the field, picked out the bigger of the 2, putted, and when they stuck their heads up shot the one I had picked out. I don't use decoys and knew as soon as they didn't see the hen they heard, they'd be gone. I leave Tuesday for my place for another round, looking forward to it.

21 pounds, 11" heavy beard, 1-1/4" heavy spurs

870 20 gauge, using #9 TSS Federal shells

Surprised to find toms still bunched up last week.  About 20 Jakes and toms roosted on the same ridge, called in a Jake for her...
