    Thought I'd share this year's bird, as I enjoy reading others posts on here and figured I should contribute. Had to endure some brutal wind on this hunt but was able to find this guy early on his roost. Got set up where I thought he'd go and of course his fly down path was not what I had planned for when I got set up in my spot. Despite that I was able to keep him interested after he flew down with the softest purrs and light yelps I could make on a slate call. He tried his best to convince me that I should go to him, but after about 30 minutes of that game (and thankfully no real hens around), he finally made his way to me. He hung up at about 70 yards, but I changed it up with some yelps from one of Little Creeks mouth calls. That flipped his switch and he came into range. One shot and he was done. Prior to the shot, this bird had some of the most radiant red and blue color in his head that I've ever seen on a turkey. I suspect he had been perched on that tree all night by himself with only one thing on his mind. A big thanks goes to Little Creek as he makes some very good calls and is a member here. Good luck to all those with tags left to fill.

    I don't post much but can't resist bragging on my son and daughter's first birds. My son shot his on the juniors hunt and I turned my first season tag over to my daughter. Having them be successful on a hunt was truly one of my greatest accomplishments. .410 with TSS loads at 15 yards does the trick.

    Just talked to someone that was on my hunt as well. Said he killed on his first stand first time turkey hunting. So I’ll be quitting turkey hunting now.

    Was an absolutely amazing year for birds - gobblers everywhere this year - I’m not quite sure of why so much success- if the really warm dry year set them off a little earlier or the mild winter wasn’t as hard on them I don’t know - but an abundance of turkeys this year - I’ve had about 2 dozen birds come into my shop this year - way more then in years past and a huge chunk of those were from the youth hunt . lots and lots of sightings and successes .

    Ruger Super Wrangler 22 LR/22 Mag: I won this at a Predator management event a couple of years ago. Comes with everything pictured. The pistol has only had about 20 rounds of 22lr through it. It's got custom buffalo nickle grips. There's two handmade knives and leather sheaths/cases for everything. $400 Ruger Carbon Fiber 10/22: I have about 150 rounds through this one. It's pretty much new. It's got 30mm leupold rings and a Vortex Viper 2.5-10x44 with a throw lever. It's really fun to shoot and extremely light weight. Does not come with suppressor. $450 bare rifle. $750 for rifle with scope and rings. Im located in Pima Arizona, but I am willing to meet within reason. I am headed to the valley this weekend and show low/snowflake next weekend. Can bring them along.

    I was overthinking everything. I was trying to do it legit this year. I could have smashed a turkey with like a 3” beard from the passenger seat of the sedan I was driving….But I missed

    This late in the season, challenge those Toms with a gobble if you can do a good one. Cut them off mid gobble like you would a bull elk.

    I was in unit 1 the last 3 days and it didn’t seem that hot. I could have shot a couple out the window or stalked them but I really want to call one in. I made some nice setups did what everyone has been telling me to do, but they didn’t come in. yesterday I set up in front of one, he was gobbling on the ground. I setup, call once he immediately cuts me off close. I don’t call again, I see him out on the tree line, he just keeps walking. That’s was brutal tbh.

    No bird died, but I had a freaking awesome weekend with a first-time turkey hunter buddy of mine. Good vocal gobbling action and plenty of birds. Didn't close the deal, mainly because I'm mostly a wanna be turkey calling hack but it was a blast.

    Also, of important note, the $5 a month stand by mode does still give you low speed data. It won't let you stream and move through the internet very well, sort of like old school dial up. But I have found that the low speed will still allow me to send and receive texts and audio phone calls without drops or issues.
