Title: Hows the gobblin
Post by: Seatown5 on May 06, 2011, 06:53:14 PM: Heading back over to the NE on sunday night! One of the very few luxuries of being unemployed. Anyway, just curious how the turkeys are acting? It sounds like they have been getting a little easier to work with. Im really excited that im getting to go twice in a season, usually with work im not that fortunate.

Called in 5 this morning and he got his second bird. Some of my usual areas have been hit pretty hard and the birds were pretty reluctant to respond. Just have to hit a few different spots till you get a hot one.

Good luck.

Didnt really see any hunters in my spots then, so all those uncooperative birds SHOULD be ready to play now. Cause i know the areas were stuffed with them.

About 10 am after the hens leave the gobblers they are pretty vulnerable. ;)

Everything I've read says the the last part of the season can be good because most of the hens are on nests and the Toms are still on the hunt for the last available girl.

Hunting partner was caught out hiking with out a shotgun. 3 toms fired up this evening and when he tried calling ..... one of them started to come in so he left. He will try to find em on the ridge in the morning.
