Well it’s time someone started this and what a better way then with our youth, the future of hunting wether gun or bow. Today I took out a buddy and his 7 year old daughter Clara on her first turkey hunt. Clara just recently passed hunter ed and got her license. Well we had a fast great morning as I called in the whole flock off the roost into the DSD decoys. There were a few longbeards but just couldn’t get a clear shot at one without harvesting more then one bird with a single shot. Finally a jake broke away and she made a great shot on her first bird. I love taking juniors out and seeing their excitement when a turkey gobbles and they come in and put on a show. Congrats to Clara and we have a great start for 2018! (Clara, her dad Chase, and my daughter Gia)

Came out to Nebraska with my son, hoping to get him his first archery turkey. Mid day, we spotted these jakes a couple hundred yards away feeding along the edge of a field. I was able to close the distance and put on a stalk and was able to make a well placed shot on this little guy! I’ve shot a handful of turkeys with my longbow from a blind, and a couple with a shotgun, but this is my first archery spot and stalk bird

First bird of the 2018 CA season for me. Whacked him with a Magnus Bullhead over the new DSD Mating Pair.
From: trkyslr

Congrats dan! Here is my opening day Cali longbeard. Called 4 longbeards right off the roost into the decoys at 14 yards, no blind. Shot the first one who punked the DSD mating set. Shot him with a new Radical Archery Design Rival head, which he went one yard and was dead in two seconds. Shot placement is key with all heads. Great start!

In Nebraska now. Just too much fun with the high wind and rain and promise of 8-15" tonight and tomorrow. Ate my sandwich at 9:30 already. Was really hoping to hold out til 10:30. Saw a few turkeys but none that wanted to die. My 88 yr old partner just text me and wants to go in and warm up and get warmer clothes. Told him I thought he was tougher than that! And to have a Fireball for me. Said he's getting on his ATV and heading to the truck. Wimp. (does really suck out here today though).

Went out and sat in the cold Kansas weather this morning, had gobbeling around me all morning, then at 9:10 this guy gobbled just to the right of the blind, I could just see him through the cedar tree limbs, he stayed hung up looking at my decoys for 20 min. finally I purred a few times after trying to get him to come in forever, the purring must of done it, he committed and after a 18 yard shot and a 10 yard recovery it was done. Body shot with my 100 magnum slicktrick did the job. 10.5 inch beard and 1 and 1/8 spurs. one more tag to go.

5 birds in 3 days. I joined my buddy who lives in Kansas. I killed one right off the bat on opening morning. The next day I killed one and then filmed him killing one. On Wednesday I drove to a spot that I found in Nebraska and in under two hours I put down two nice toms. All were head shots with the bows. All on video.

I took a trip with some friends in Kansas and hunted some horrible weather. I still had an opportunity and blanked on a Jake at 10 yards. I still don't know how you miss at 10 yards but it happens.
My first morning out in KY I shot this gobbler. Lots of action and definitely a hunt to remember.
My friend is a Mathews Homer so I took the spur picture for him. Lol!
Congrats to all of the successful hunters.

Hunt,
You're mad at 'em this year! Good job buddy.
I didn't hear a bird nor see one until I heard a thump at the decoy. I look up and 2 Jake's are working over my Dakota. I am sorry....you can't attack my decoy even if you aren't full grown.
His buddy deserves something worse after what he did to the one I shot. Pure nastiness. Lol

Crossbow ... but she is a youth so we can cut her some slack ... right? My daughter tagged out fast yesterday morning during the Indiana youth season. For some reason, even though she vertical bow hunts for deer, she still likes to crossbow hunt birds. I figure, as long as she is excited to get out and turkey hunt, then I am good with it, even though I am not a crossbow guy.

Congrats to everyone. The iridescent colors seem to be more intense this year. I noticed that on my son's bird last week. I know a lot of this has to do with the refractive index of the feather structure (stacking vs amorphous) and the melanin granules alignment , more than ceratin color tones but wow, everyone who has seen it has said the same thing.
Was it because we had 6 month of snow in the Midwest (and we all were cabin fever color blind) or a change in diet due to the conditions??

OFFHNTN, pretty cool! That's one thing I like about turkey hunting. With big game you pretty much know what you're shooting at. Probably even have scored him already, especially with all the electronic surveillance many use. Takes a lot of the fun and anticipation of what might be out there, away from the hunt. With turkeys, all you know is whether it's mature or not. Score, if you're concerned about it at all, is a surprise. Kinda puts the emphasis back to what it should be.

From: Rockbass
06-May-18
Thanks T-roy. They were both at 2" but they seem longer because of the smaller legs. Out of the 25 dead birds drying in camp from the previous hunters (3-4 weeks) they were the longest until my buddy got his bird on the last morning that were just over 2". Largest bird weighed was 12.5 lbs. and smallest was 9 lbs. The ones I ate all tasted great!

Finally broke the ice with my first traditional archery turkey on May 3, 2018. Wadena County, MN. I had 3 jakes come into the decoys at 12 yds and put an arrow in the 10 ring! My bow is a Bob Lee Bows Natural model. 64" AMO 30" @ 50 lbs. My wife was able to fill her tag w/ her shotgun on a jake the next day.

This was the first week of all day hunting in Pennsylvania. It was rainy nasty weather all week. The weather finally broke yesterday around noon. I was in the blind by 330 and after 10 minutes two long beards walked by to pester my jake decoy. Didn’t even get a chance to call. Shot him in the back at 11 yards.

Congrats everybody!!
I got lucky and found a couple lonely longbeards on Tuesday. 25 yds, no blind. Didnt think it was doable but pulled it off. Only regret, was a super quick setup and didnt think about latching the ultimate predator cam onto a tree branch or my stabilizer.

Way to go stick! Yeah video is always cool, but I've kicked the habit. I'd rather put them on the ground. Trying to video saves a lot of critters lives. Congrats on a great bird!
