Got it done in Tennessee.

Made it up to Tennessee for my first time this past weekend. After 10 hrs of driving I pulled in about an hour before light on Friday morning. I was pretty much going in blind but figured I would just get right at it.  I found some birds pretty quick and thought I might just kill me one right out the gate, but it didn't take long for me to realize that hunting those hills was gonna be a big learning curve for this native Florida boy. Between the up and down terrain, bare under growth and foot deep noisy leaves to wade through I just couldn't seem to get where I needed to be and the gobblers weren't quite hot enough to make it easy on me.I had several hang up on ridges across from me and I got busted moving in on a couple others. I never found a bird roosted on the 200 acres but heard several not far across the property line and focused on them.  Well I stayed at it and kept my patience and was able to call in a group of birds about 11:00 Sun morning and took a nice one at ten yards. It was an awesome hunt and certainly educational. I was amazed at how loud those gobbles were as they came up a holler towards me, flat out awesome sound like nothing I have heard before. My bird was 20#, 10 in beard with 1 1/4 spurs.
Genesis 1:26
   Then God said, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

Congrats, I'm originally from Fl., but now live in Tn. After hunting Osceolas on public land mainly before coming here, I thought I was in turkey heaven the first time I ever hunted in Tn.

Genesis 27:3 - Now then, get your weapons—your quiver and bow—and go out to the open country to hunt some wild game for me.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

Congrats from one FLA boy to another!! :icon_thumright:
I've hunted 11 states now, and none of them are like hunting in FLA. Definitely a steep learning curve, especially when you're hunting hills and hollers. Good job on your gobbler!!
