Well drove 17 hours and got to hunt yesterday. Hunted from 6:30am to 8pm with no luck. Heard a few and saw a few but they are just handing it to me. It's only day one. Back in the blind. We will see how it goes today. I hate turkeys.
Good luck!

Osceola
Ok so they beat me down again. Had one Tom strutting 20 yds behind the blind. Never came in. Then another stud Tom screaming at 42 yds but wouldn't come in. No shot. Maybe I oughta use a shotgun. Lol. Could have killed both birds that way. Oh well. Two more days to go.
I HUNT THESE BIRDS , Osceola , ON MANAGEMENT LAND AND ITS HARD . I LIKE THE CHALLENGE
IF YOU WHERE TO GO ON PRIVATE LAND ITS NOT SO HARD .
IVE HAD M HOLD UP OUT OF RANGE AND THEY ARE REALLY GOOD AT COMING IN REAL QUITE AND I GET BUSTED ... MOST OF THE TIME. HARD BUT FUN
I HAD A QUOTA FOR THE FIRST TWO DAYS ON THE FIRST I WAS WORKING M FROM ALONG WAY OFF HE WAS COMING REAL SLOW , BUT GOBBLE EVERY SO OFTEN TO LET ME NO HES COMING . HE STARTED WAY OFF TO MY RIGHT AND STARTED TO WALK THE EDGE OF A MIX BOTTOM IN FRONT OF ME ABOUT 400 YRDS, all OF SUDDEN HE FLEW RIGHT OVER ME . I DIDNT KNOW IF HE WAS ALONE I KEPT LOOKING AND THERE WAS MOVEMENT TO MY RIGHT ............ TWO HUNTERS ....... THE END
I TRIED AGAIN THE NEXT MOURNING NOTHING ,,, BUT RAIN ........ BEST OF LUCK TO YA............
I've hunted with my bow the first 3 years & had similar luck! I'm torn between using my shotgun & going out again with my bow. I'm leaning shot gun now, as I'm getting a little sick of not having killed a Turkey. We shall see...

Well, last day of the hunt I was able to connect. Had a gobbler going to the same strut zone two mornings in a row. He wouldnt come to me so I set up on his strut spot. I put my own strutter in his spot and brushed the blind in some, which I think helped a ton. Anyways I was sitting there getting depressed at about 9:30am when I looked up and saw two gobblers on the decoy. I barely had time to get my bow up and get the shot off. The Tom ran 30 yds and died. What a great hunt. Had a blast. Drove 17 hours straight to make it home. Now I am tired. LOL.
:icon_thumright: CONGRADULATION :icon_thumright:
Awesome! I love bow hunting, but ain't got brave enough yet to try it on a turkey. I have a hard enough time getting one with a shotgun! Lol

Here is a pic of them sneaking in. I didnt even know they were there for a few seconds. I almost spooked them turning on the camera. Also a pic of the lighted knock on the way to the bird.
COOL Pic's.
Great pics!
