After a long battle with a stuck boat (that's a story in itself)....we finally made it into the swamp.  Turkeywhacker worked a bird for over an hour and I called one in to 60.  He was coming in hot and I already had my gun up waiting for him to get into range when he stopped and was staring off to my right.  Then he bolted back where he came from.  I finally saw the hunter that was creeping around and scared the bird.  :'(

That's the breaks!  Hopefully we'll be back out this sunday for some redemption.

Yeah, I heard well over 50 gobbles from four different birds. Worked the final one till the 1:00pm end of shooting time came. Still heard em cranking when I made it out to the boat. Letting em rest till Sunday.

Damn turkey chasers!  Hate to say that is public land hunting.  Stay after them- Looks like other teams are starting to get it done.

Struck out in Carolina. Worked birds 2 of the days I was up there. Weather wasn't good, and the birds were still in winter groups. Hard to call them off of multiple hens.
But I'm back in FLA, starting my only hunt down here tomorrow. Weather should be nice tomorrow, but its supposed to suck on Saturday & Sunday. Just my luck!! >:(
