2 days, 2 birds, about 3hrs total hunt time. Totalof 7 longbeards came in together this morning. The wind was blowing so hard, they didn't even flinch when I dropped mine. The strutter didn't even miss a beat.


Trash your goals and plans for life. Just wing it and you'll never be let down!

It’s been rough here in north central WV. Good gobbling opening day but they henned up quick, but I did get some awesome decoy interaction with some jakes. Today two gobbled off the roost three times apiece and that was it. Never heard another bird and I stayed until 1pm prevailing time.

Agree w that. Youth Saturday heard several birds each of the 3 places we went. My boy shot his at noon and they were still gobbling hard when we left. Yesterday and today were totally different. Cold and wind a put a damper on em for a bit.

I heard my first gobbler this morning. I am sure they must be wearing snowshoes.


I have nothing clever to put here.

Shot one this morning around 6:30. He was with 4 other long beards. They hung around and watched him flop. Then 5 jakes showed up to join the party. crazy

It must be harder than deer hunting, there are a lot more deer killed than turkeys.
