Anyone besides me still chasing those tricky birds? I'll be out with the Winchester tomorow and the Exocet on Sunday. I'm still hearing gobbling in the mornings and seeing the suckers, I just can't seem to get them interested in a call or decoy.
If they are call shy, will they still gobble? I am surprised to still be seeing vocal birds on public land, this late in the season.

I am after my second bird . I was lucky a couple weeks ago and got a 22bl tom with a 10.5 beard . I took my oldest daughter out on Monday and all we saw was a hen . I went out yesterday morning after work and had 4 different birds talkn' to me and finally one broke loose and was coming in . I herd something behind me so i didn't look not wanting to move then finally i had to look . It was a skunk about fifteen feet behind me ! Well i did what every rough and tough man would do , i ran out into the field like the roadrunner being chased by wile-e coyote . Needless to say my hunt was over . Hope to get out on monday . Good luck to everybody on this last few days of the season .
Well that's it for me. No turkey in the freezer . Tough season, but I did see a lot of birds and got to patterning a few. I called two gobblers from across a field yesterday and they hung up at 100 yards. I don't get it. They were double gobbling to my cutting, but they would not cross the entire field . A third came out on my left and headed over to the first two. He strutted around and then they all walked off.
All I called in this morning was a hen. All in all it was a learning experience. I learned that getting out the first day and week is key.
On my walk out today I came across a set of deer tracks no bigger than my thumb nail (fawn). The circle of life continues. Can't wait for October. Stocks are getting low in the freezer.
