4:37 AM LIVE from Ma*
Headed out on opening day with great anticipation. Been scouting for a month with very poor results here in western ma. My best spot had no sign at all until 3 days ago. I went in and heard a turkey gobble fairly close. I was able to witness a couple of toms fighting. It was kinda like an ol western showdown, i was able to film it and will put that footage into a future video in combination with a successful hunt. My spot is known to a couple other hunters and they could mess me up but fingers crossed it doesn't happen. I hunted turkeys very successfully for 40 yrs or so with the bow but now im too old and weak to carry everything i need to hunt and film alone. So today it’ll be a piece of burlap, 2 dave smith decoys,a primos shooting stik, a remmington 1100 semi auto, and a remote gopro out in the decoy setup. Hey stop typin and get movin you long winded bastard!

Just blew a shot on a big tom. 20 yds thru brush. Was coming to the decoys out in the field silent. I was playing on the fone. Looked up he was at 20 yds. Saw me reaching for the gun and he cut into the woods. Had to try left handed thru some brush….. missed em….. Dam

it's worth it though since you were updating us. That's better than a big tom wouldn't you say?

Just saying that the fact you messed up by being on the phone was a good reason to miss one. You were keeping us update which is of greater value than killing that big bird. much appreciated here. not all would be so committed to live hunts

That’s why I don’t even bother with fields in MA. If you can spot the turkeys in the field preseason so will everyone else.
