Camp David 2012 turkey report. Denny showed up the first Thursday after the opener and Dan showed up with his 12 year old son on Friday. Same days the birds stopped gobbling.

. Lots of hiking on Friday afternoon produced nothing. Saturday evening a flock of hens and a jake wondered by Dan's blind and his 12 year old son bagged his first bird with his 20 Ga.

. Denny and I hiked about a mile and sat in a favorite turkey "zone" for about 1/2 an hour and we finally heard a gobble. He continued to gobble when I answered and we got ready in the pop-up blind. 10 minuted later the tom showed up and Denny had his first tom.

I patterened my bird for 4 days. They were roosting above the cabin. Had a few close calls, but when he came to the top of the hill chasing some jakes at about 25 yds, I sent a load of #5s his way and the game was over.
