The Roaring 20's 2024 - The Reckoning / Slow start

Last post by xarcher - Today at 12:16:19 PM

Fellers,
Our season started last Saturday.  Spent Saturday and Monday (no Sunday hunting here) in a spot where I had heard gobbling on 3 different roosts the week before while scouting.  Not a peep both days.  Perhaps the humidity and cloud cover played a factor?  And I stayed with my setup for hours, hoping one would sneek in.  Nuthin.

Tuesday I went to spot B and set up 100 yards south of where I had heard gobbling twice while scouting.  He gobbled on the roost, flew down and walked off to the north.  I hounded him for 2 hours and he ended up in the middle of a plowed field with 6 hens. 

This AM I slept in because of rain.  About 9:00 the sun came out so I went to spot C.  Got a coutesy gobble across a valley and moved to a better setup spot, only to see him occupied with a couple of hens in the middle of a cut corn field.  He didn't even look my way when I called to him.  Noon cut off here in PA for the first 2 weeks so I had to let him go as well. 

In general, I am seeing what everyone else is.  Our numbers are way down.  Maybe 6 years ago or so, I watched 13 turkeys hit the dirt between me and others I hunted with.  And it was not uncommon to hear 6 or 8 birds gobbling on the roost from one any one of my listening spots.  They hot bird is out there somewhere....

2024 Guns N' Hoses / Re: Thank You

Last post by Hayudog - Today at 12:07:06 PM

Just here.  Didn't see the photos in question, but the way I've been able to take better pictures ,solo, is with clips and a soft cloth measuring tape that folks use when sewing. I also think those handy spur measuring devices, the ones that curve would be a great idea to carry. Total weight just a few ounces, and keep it in your vest or gobbler bag.  I need to add the spur measurer for sure. I'll add a picture of my measuring kit.

Check the avatar, 2" bird from several year back.  I love spurs and beards, but I really just like watching them die, no matter who is pulling the trigger.

Wow. Just wow. I'm done in California, it closed for guns on May 5. Idaho, I might get a day out next week, but birds there won't be an upgrade. I'm with Jim. We will need a few more points to secure a win. Good luck all.
