I was already thinking I was ending my streak on account of our population locally is extremely sparse this year. Shot number 36 this afternoon. He was a young gobbler that I am tickled to have gotten concidering I had only been out 3 times, and may have only been able to go out 2 more times before season ended. I will add the usual photo tommorrow, my phone is pouting, or something like that. This jake is only the second tom I had located where I could hunt. Last edited by J.Morse; 05/19/21 09:53 PM.

I saw my first turkey when I was 12 years old and killed for 16 years in a row starting at age 15. I have missed out on 3 years of birds since then, but have been fortunate to put my little brother on a nice gobbler last year. We didn't get a lot of time to hunt this year and struck out, but the bird numbers are way down. I spent several evening trying to roost and heard very few birds where I may have heard 6-10 in the past.

ol' dad trapper Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 1,452 Missouri	Originally Posted by AntiGov Congrats I've never hunted turkey Believe it or not but hunting wild turkey in the spring is about the closest thing I there is to hunting elk during the rut. The major difference being that turkey can see better and elk can smell better. ol'dad "I season my food with hunger"

I hope his sons catch the gobbler bug as well. Nothing would tickle me more than having those boys fill the other side of that old stock with turkey tracks of their own.
