Well just put a couple to bed sounds like it should be good in the morning! Good luck to everyone headed out! Shoot straight!

Can't wait to get out in the morning! I'm SUPER pumped this year as it will be the first hunt for Turkey with a Longbow. well, any bow for that matter. I just gave a few hoots off of the back porch and had several shock gobble back

I know there is one decent Tom and a few Jakes around but hey like to roost right on the property line so depending on how they feel it's a 50/50 shot if they fly down on our property or the neighbors.

Well it was a slow day for Dad and I not much gobbling toms are definitely with hens, saw a pile of jakes from the road appears to be a good hatch from last spring, headed home now, will be back at it this weekend! From what I saw today the later the better, 234 should be great. Friend of mine that goes by LHbandito on here connected on a great bird hopefully he posts the story and pics tonight.

I couldn't get out this morning I had to watch the kids I'm sitting in my blind now and heard a couple gobbles at 6:00 p.m. I just got back from KS Friday and all the longbeards were getting henned up as soon as they flew off the roost. I should have had a Jake but that is another story. Good luck to all the Turkey hunters the weather looks good this week.

Had a couple of Toms and some jakes/hens fly down this morning but as soon as they touched down the hens led em off. I hought I was gonna get a shot off but NOPE... Nothing I could say did any good. I went out this afternoon and had another NICE tom with a hen come through but again he wasn't leaving her. Gotta work tomorrow then I have two more days off but it looks like rain.

Stixbowdrew · « **Reply #32 on:** April 23, 2013, 06:59:00 AM »

I won't be back out till this weekend, good luck to everyone out this morning!

good luck guys, stick with it.

It's 8:15pm and dusk, so I decided to drive home the backway between Brighton and Howell just to see what I see. Boom... a smokey grey hen walking along the road so a slide down the window to have a chat. No need to as it sounds like a hen fest convention about 75 yards into the woods and every girl is coming. In the middle of it all is a lone gobbler doing his dance and sounding off. For fun, I gobble back (ok just an attempt at one) and he immediately answers. Just a couple more to be sure that we've made a connection and to let him knows who's boss

Almost forgot to mention the 3 separate groups of deer all within a 5 min drive. Conditions were right for all to come out and play.

Talon,thats going to be a tough bird to top. Nice. I've had a couple oppourtunity's at smaller Tom's. Still waiting for "the one" I thought 2nite it would happen in this rainy cold evening. Was getting ready to pull the plug,then sure enough,here comes 8 hens,a scraggly looking jake,and a Tom with a 6 inch beard. I know we have a couple BIG birds in the back woods here. My dad in law,and Mrs.Whitaker have seen one that is real slick with a beard that as my Father-in-law puts it..."Ryan..it's dragging on the ground." I'll put in the time,and keep them fingers crossed. Go Get em' Michiganders!!!

Anyone out braving the elements today? If so kudos to you! Friend of mine connected this morning on a jake in Ohio with his longbow, anyone with a first season like me... This weekend is shaping up to be awesome!
