Illinois bird

[renegade19]

After a long, frustrating first Illinois season I finally called this bird in for my buddy.  Bragging just a little because I got him to fly across the creek in the background.

I often get a first season tag because I forget to send in for the first lottery. This was a tough year. I was on birds every day but just could not get one in range. Hens, me moving at the wrong time, and everything in between that could happen did happen. I was in the woods for 7 days straight ( first 2 days were youth season) and it was tough for sure. Great job .

Congratulations! What part of the state were you in. It looks like Southern Illinois.
Thanks,

That's awesome. Not often at all that I get to call one across anything. You know he's hot when he will fly a creek

Good job!  Heading out next weekend for 2nd season north zone on public land.   Illinois sure makes it tough on public land.

They were odd for sure but some of them would work.  Mid/late morning was a lot better for us.  Buddy of mine that is a crazy good turkey hunter also blanked so I know they were tough. I should have tagged out but didn't.  Some bad luck, some bad decisions.  I'd rather call a bird in for a friend than kill one any day so I'm happy.  Learned a lot as usual.  Good luck next season.  My Brother In Law has a Crab 3 tag so I'm hoping to call in his first bird for him.  I'll be back after them 5th season.
