opening day i could of killed a jake turkey but i held out for a long beard. my only day to hunt was on saturdays, this is my 3rd year turkey hunting and i think next season i need to spend more time mid week hunting and my luck should change.

I need to do more scouting! I found myself scouting in the middle of the season

Next year I ain't gonna hike all over the dang mountain lookin for a bird. I'll just sit in camp, hit the buck barn friction call a few times, wait for em to come up the hill, and blast em. :p

Get out more!! lol

Well did I hunt a lot yes, but I only usually hunted from daylight till 7:30am. Thats all the time I can get before I go to work. I only really hunted 3 Saturdays. The openner 3rd week and then last Saturday (which I scored). I have shot more birds past the hours of 8am than right off the rooste. I've also shot more birds later in the season than early. It's something I really wish I could change, but it's work. The spring time is a VERY busy time for me and this spring was a wash out. With considering that I still didn't get a whole lot of time to get out. I also believe I need to hunt them slower. I tend to run and gun. I think sometimes I should just stop and sit for a little in known proven areas to see what might come in silent. Then again I love the gobbling, screaming in your face action. Silent birds just don't give that.

today i saw maybe 15 real good toms some really good hair. the hens are all over also so if things stay the same we are going to have alot of older good birds around.

Get out more and take some vacation time so I dont go to work half dead and tired.

This happens to me all to often! By 1-2 I feel like crashing. It can really beat you up.

I think I might try hunting Osceolas with my bow next March.

im gonna try to stay put in a spot longer. i always get my birds off the roost within hour of daylight. days it dont happen i move to much and it feels like im too late for the birds.lol. also learned alotta birds will come in quiet after pressure is on.
