Can't wait to call in some Toms!
This will be my third year turkey hunting and early season is always the best for me.
Last season me and a buddy got into a blind early am and called 3 in but they stayed just out of range and strutted away not long after.
We got up and moved along the river edge to get up ahead of them and I called but forgot to use a locator call first and brought them in without our blind or decoys set up. We dropped to the ground prone watching them come in again just out of range and then they literally just disappeared like ninjas.
So we repeated again moving up along the river to cut them off. We setup our blind and decoys and called for over an hour but it was dead silent. So we packed up and walked not 50yds from where our blind was with my buddy leading up this small hill. He then starts shouting my name and trying to shoot but his safety is on. I got up to the top of the hill to see 3 turkeys hauling ass down the hill and out of sight.
He said he nearly stepped on them when he walked up that hill they were so close. I got a good laugh from it and wondered if those were the same turkeys we been following all day lol.
That was my top favorite turkey day experience. Hopefully this year will be just as good! You don't have to get the birds to enjoy it! Gobble Gobble ya'll.
