Last day GOBBLER down

It took a lot of patience but we got it done

This morning at 6:45 am. She hit her bird


20lbs. 1" spurs double beard 9 1/2" & 6 1/2"

Last day of her season I would love to say a talked sweet nothings to that bird and it came in in a string but I went with the silent treatment on it, and the bird provided the show. Strutting and gobbling to us from 200+ yards and the last 30 yards took the longest

Good job to my wife and way to stick it out .

Congratulations, sometimes you just have to deer hunt them and knowing when is the secret.

Congrats !!! Odd how one day they are very vocal and silent the next. Ambush works well for me

Very nice.....dbl beard at that....dandy....

Good for both of you. The silent treatment is hard to pull off.

Congrats.

Pete

Right at the buzzer! Cool bird, congratulations.

Great job! I will try late afternoon/evening today. I only been out two times so I better get it done.

Snowy... good luck.

Years ago I made a box call for an old friend in Livingston. He was the kind of guy who always took a long time to make a decision. On his first hunt with my call, (somewhere in southeast Montana), he made a few yelps and had a gobble instantly. By the time he found a spot to sit it was too late.

Good luck.

Pete

My hunt starts tomorrow, goes until th 31st

Son got his early this season 10 1/4"
Beard

The wife's double beard

Both standing in almost same spot

Hope I don't have to settle for a jake, But is rather they get theirs first as I've killed plenty of birds

Excellent

Being a lady Hunter I would think the "silent treatment" hunting style was right in her wheelhouse.

Great picture, congratulations.

Yesterday we were right in front of a big group ( turns out we were behind) that were making all sort if calls. But they all left and went away from us. Watched on gobbler pace back and furth on his roost limb. We had set a little too close to him

She has hunted 6 mornings and at least 10 evenings of her two week season Glad we got if done this morning

Lots of birds killed in Michigan today, a few friends tagged out this morning, and local sport shop had quite a few brought in...
3 big toms came thru the front yard today, plus had 2 toms in full strut on the road.....

Hopefully tmrw the birds are as active.....

My All Purpose Boy and I will be pairing up to assault the neighborhood gobblers in the A.M. I hope to bag the one real nice tom we have hanging around, but if any adult tom gets within range I may just shoot it instead and hope my son whacks the big one. There has been turkey hunters slow-roll past the place several times today, so I may not get a chance at the big one before one of those guys gets it first (state land borders parts of my place). Only time will tell. Good luck folks.

Here's the double beard

Good luck in the morning.

Coincidence the double beard is my wife's second bird, my 2nd bird killed 21 years ago was a double beard killed less than a mile from hers

Congrats to your wife. That is a nice one.

Thanks MT

Good luck in the morning, ambush. I do think the birds are moving better now than the past 2 weeks, as I was head out the door tonight I seen a tom in the plowed field that is between my house and the area my wife got hers He was rolling around dusting himself in the dirt. Almost looked like he just got shot he was flopping so much in the dust.

Great bird

Nice bird tough hunting this year in some places! WTG

Darn nice bird, happy for y'all huntimg together.

Turkey, it's what's for dinner
