Curious how everyone did today?

My quest continues for my first longbeard. Went out early and didn't hear a single gobble off the limb. Probably the wind I suppose. At sunrise I called in a couple hens who did their thing around me for 15 minutes. Around 9 I jumped a hen in a clear cut and let out some soft yelps so see if a tom was with her. I got an answer and he closed the distance, staying hidden the whole time. He ended up poking his head out just as I moved to position my gun. My big mistake and a lesson learned. Nice morning regardless. Saw a nice fisher cat with a blonde tail. Can't complain!

To say it's been a great season would be an understatement. Finished up today in N.Y. with my son. Blessed and thankful for the opportunities I have.

I belly crawled across a field too what I thought was a tom and three hens. When I finally got close enough, I saw they where all jakes. Happy to fill a tag thou, and it makes crawling across a field feel less stupid.

Excellent guys

Wondered how folks faired with the weather change...well done XI and Still!

Great job guys!

Good stuff, guys. xi, that photo of your son is a keeper... love the smile on his face... that's a beautiful tom. stillhunter... you might have to change your name to crawlinghunter. LOL Crawling across a field... that's very cool. Dinky, sounds like you had a good day. We all make those mistakes. The key is to learn from them. I believe it's called "experiential learning." I know I should have a Master's Degree in Hunting Experiential Learning... if there's a mistake to be made, I've probably made it. I hope you get your first tom this spring.... be sure to take a photo and share it with us.

Nice job guys!

Awesome stuff! Xi, really cool to see you and your son getting out there together. Brings back some great memories!
