Greetings GobblerNation! Been tough sledding so far here in Magnolia. Opening morning saw some decent gobbling but hens made the snatch and took him away. After that it was 3 days no gobbling and only saw one lone hen. Fast foreword to Tues am- again heard one gobbling but couldn’t close anymore than about 400 yds. These east central turkeys I hunt generally don’t gobble til they see ground, lol. Anyway he had him some females too and silence descended quickly. Tues pm I went prospecting () and laid eyes on 2 LONG’S, Jake and some hens. Stayed with them til roost time . This am it’s good gobblin on the roost, then sporadic as the harem assembled and now silence... I m happy I guess since I’m around turkeys tho and if I stay close maybe one will “trip up” lol.
On another note, my son has the knack for finding gobblers that want to work despite having hens. I now have one waiting for me to clean in my Scout while he heads to class... maybe he’ll take me sometime
“Son, Turkey HUNTING starts at 40yds and in. If you can kill him farther that’s all you’re doing- KILLING. Make him think he’s answering you, call him up, kill him closer-Man! Now that’s what it’s meant to be…” Johnnie Keel ( an Old Pro most never know)
Here’s my sons from this morning- I struck out lol but still swinging!

You mean this Ol thang. Why I wasn’t but 18mths old when my Dad bought it brand new (for $5400). She now mine and we adventure together some. Stats: 345 IH V8, torque-flite 3 speed auto, lift and suspension to accommodate the 33”tires, 4.10s and Detroits on both ends get me out of and into trouble.... one day I hope to frame off and make her a pure garage queen but sometimes now I need her capabilities....
Thanks for noticing....
