Blew my chance on sn Eastern...  I had to pee, and the Robin I was watching behind my decoy was a turkey head, once I stood up to take care of business.   I will get one,  hopefully in the next week or it'll have to be next year.   Trying to juggle spring bear and getting the grand slam.

Good luck Carl!

Did you punch your East side tags, or are you just that adventurous?

I didn’t get my Merriam yet.  But was close on the last trip.  We went 2 for 4.  I don’t know if I would say I’m being adventurous but being retired I plan to hunt all 3 species this year.

My Daughter wanted to go for a hike.  I convinced her that we should walk some gated roads on the west side and look for Turkeys :).  We hiked/walked just under 7 miles.  Never saw a bird, or got one to respond to calls or even shock gobble.  But we did find a little sign, so I'm calling it a success!

I saw an eastern this past weekend. But I wasn't hunting at the time and didn't have my shotgun. 🤬

Put this one down second day. Buddy had a chance a few days later but a hen got way out in front of the gobbler while he was still 60 yards out, walked by us at 5 yards and saw something she didn't like and blew the whole flock out. I know of several others that were harvested the first week or so.
Gobblers only, all jakes must walk

Congrats!  Did you just use a rifled barreled muzzy with shot?  How does it pattern?
