Nice bird.  Not that it matters, but is the bird that black in color or was it due to the camera?  It is really neat if it is that black.

That was something like my first year.  Second day, put out a couple of plastic look a likes, called a few times, and in came three Jakes.  Boom, down, done.  Then there was year two and three.  Hopefully your next bird will be as easy as your first and not like years two and three for me.

Those are some nice birds. I see alot of southern ky hunters talking about henn'd up birds this year because of the late spring. They are about 2 weeks behind up here in the northern tip , heck the woods still havent started greening up. They are usualy about done breeding by the time season opens.

Way to go, Dan and gravesco!  You boys are showing how its done for sure.   

On my little patch of ground there has been very little gobbling. Only a few times on the roost and then quiet. I like to run and gun but that doesn't do any good if they they don't talk. You just bump them. I've been sitting in a known area and trying to wait them out. Seen a few hens but no in range toms. The three toms I have seen wouldn't respond.  I'm pretty sure they had hens close by. This has been one of the toughest seasons for me in a long long while. I can almost smell the tag soup already.       But like Yogi Berra said, "It ain't over till its over."

that is right semp i have taken a lot of birds the last weekend good luck

[riverboss]

Hang in there Johnny im sure it will improve over time. I really like hunting the last week and i usually hunt the evenings, those horny gobblers will run you over.

Sweet birds guys! Things are up and down around here, very dependant on taking the "temperature" of the birds from the reports I'm getting. Lots of different tactics being put to use this season.

Johnny I wish my foot would stop hurtin i would invite you up for a hunt! But i think ive got gout at least that is what the doc seems to think. I sure hope he is wrong.

Thanks for the invite, Dan, but I'll keep plugging along in my little patch of woods.  I didn't hunt today but will go back tomorrow and give it another go. 

I figure that by the time I finally get a bird (if I ever do) I will have enough money tied up in gas to have bought about 64 ButterBalls at the grocery.

Shoot one at the grocery store

 Looks like a few are doing well!    My first attempt was a bust,  did snag a few nice crappies out of the pond though.  So I didn't come home empty.  Still some time left.
  As for the denture.   I figured the turkeys make all them noises without teeth then it's good enough for me too!

21lbs. 9" beard. Twin 1" spurs.
10:15 Friday AM just after the 3rd soaking downpour of the morning. Closed the bolt on the CZ712 this AM & there was still moisture in the action.     Got it all apart & cleaned & oiled & put away today. Thanks for looking.

Way to go HaMeR!  Congratulations to everyone who has been successful so far.    Let's keep after 'em.
