Saturday AM Check-in

[Matty]

No permits for me this year, but I just got in from roosting for tomorrow. My buddy Joe is bringing his 5 year old son to experience gobbles (hopefully). (fingers crossed) 

 

Went to my best spot tonight....but only heard one gobble. He also caught me off guard while I was still walking up the hill and I couldn't pinpoint it and couldn't get him to gobble again. I have a rough idea but sounds bounce around in those hills. He could be totally in the opposite direction of where I think he was. 

 

My brother listened at another spot and heard hens (option 2). Joe and his son listened in another spot and heard zero.

 

I hooted up one other spot and startled a hen. (option 3)

 

Where there's hens, there's bound to be gobblers nearby.

 

Looks like possible thunderstorms in the AM (last I checked). Hopefully not too bad but we'll have the little guy in a popup if it rains.

Also have to be done by 9 for baseball. Cross your fingers that the little guy gets to at least hear some birds. Uncle Matty didn't do his due diligence this year on scouting and it's showing. lol

 

Good luck to everyone going out for weekend warrior time.

I'm in the car right now waiting for the rain to stop. All hell broke lose, I think I would drown if I got out right now. The radar tells me it will stop in 15

Good luck, be safe out there

I'm in my truck still in zone 12. The rain and lighting is insane. But will clear out shortly

I've got over 30 people meeting me at Buttermilk Falls this morning.  What was I thinking???

Rain is gone here for the PA opener.

Had four Jake's come in gobbling up a storm .

Put on a good twenty minute show between the decoys .

Surprised a long beard hasn't come in with all the gobbling .as I watched them go to roost last night

It's early, the big boys are most likely with the girls.  Give them time and they'll show.  Good luck hammer.

It's not the rain, it's the number of people.  I don't do people well.

no hurry here .last turkey hunt of my vacation .

Had Jake number 5 come in .so they are all searching .

 

And the show I saw this morning was definitely worth the price of admission

Woods are alive now .

Five Jake's came back . There gobbling brought in another three Jake's together as well as two hens .

Long beards are missing the fun

Quiet here in S.Jersey. Usually A lot of gobbling. Just some hens.
