Well guys the Fat Man (ME) is starting to sing... hunted this morning, heard 1 gobble at 5:39am, that was it. He was across a road and deep on private. Hit 5 different areas in 2 different zones. Didn't even see another hunter. We had a storm blow through last night, maybe it affected them? Will be giving it one more shot Monday, season closes Friday. Good luck to those still hunting.

Tagged out in WV finally. Went for a stretch without hearing birds decided to hunt PA for a while and give the property time to cool off.

PA kicked my butt though i was in birds alot. Including having a gobbler fly down 60 yards from my truck while my pants were down. Managed to get them up and the gun up as he walked closer to me idk how he didnt see me but it was still fairly dark. He came within 30 yards and i pulled the trigger and click. I forgot to load my gun. He putted and took off before i could get to my shells.

Today was an easy one. Went back to the farm i let sit for a while. Got into where i know they strut and just waited. Heard 1 gobble on the roost but didnt call back. Waited till they gobbled on the ground. Made a few clucks on the box and two gobbled. I just set the box down and waited. Within 15 minutes both of them popped into view at about 25 yards. I took the closer one and my hunt was done. Nice two year old but not an upgrade.

Still got some time in PA so not done yet.

Congrats Hillclimber on another fine Tom, good luck if you get another chance.

Didn't hear a single thing this morning. Walked around and saw zero sign, finally had a hen answer me around 9ish. Did hear a Quail for the first time in many years. Good luck to those still grinding away.

Great bird Hillclimber. I've never taken a turkey in my birth state of WV. Maybe I'll work on that next year.
