Sorry my only competition is the next turkey that I encounter in the woods!


Apologizing:  does not always mean you are wrong and the other person is right. 
It just means that you value your relationship more than your ego.

2016 I bagged my 1st bird very early 1st morning.
Hunted the rest of the season, same place, lots of birds, but most days I couldn't buy a gobble.
Very strange year in PA last year.
I usually have good action later in the season, late morning.
Not last year. The most I could get was a courtesy gobble a few times.
Very tough year.

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.

When the birds wanna work they work... Turkeys of having a way of making you think they you are a great hunter and horrible one.


I've had great runs and slumps

After I went 6 for nine I thought I had this turkey thing whipped. How wrong I was! Reality hit me not to long after. My personal record I am proudest of is that every year for 24 years I have enjoyed every spring morning it has been my privilege to be in the woods. Sometimes I kill a bird, more often not. I still look forward to the next hunt with the same enthusiasm.

Congrats to your buddy. 10 in a row is strong. I'm currently on a 4 bird streak. Last day I hunted last year and all three mornings this year I have killed a mature gobbler. This year, all three have been down before 8:15 am. I was on a good streak in 2009-2011 and was feeling like I was a great turkey hunter. Then came 2012. I hunted about 15-20 days and never pulled the trigger. I worked at least 6 different gobblers and just couldn't get it done. It was very humbling and frustrating, but it was also probably the best thing for me. I had become so focused on killing a bird that I forgot to just enjoy the experience of being in the woods.
Since then, I have had a better time just hunting.
Another cool streak I had was going two full deer seasons seeing at least one deer every hunt.

I have killed a bird on the last Wednesday of the FL season for 4 out of the last 6 years.  Today was one.  Last year I was already done, so never got a chance.  2 of those years tagged me out and two of those was the only one I killed.
