✋️, had one of my boys finish his feild day yesterday.

Just roosted a few birds. Was pretty cool got them to shock gobble and then walked down this old log road closer to them and they flew from ridge to my left and all landed in different trees above me. Weather might not be good but i know the tree they are in so we will see how it goes. Seems like maybe five toms gobbling from the trees so my fingers are crossed for my daughter.

Awesome and good luck to you guys tomorrow, I hope she gets one!!!

My son got a shot but didn't connect.  It was an awesome morning with birds responding well. The weather sucked but the action kept us out there

Well it def did not work out as planned. They were fired up this morning and it brought in other groups of hunters.it didnt work out so made a move and got on another bird. He was answering pretty good but not making any moves so i decided to walk try and get closer as i thought he was walking away. Turns out almost hour after sun up he was still in tree and flew out when we got right under him. Learning mistake for sure he wa just hanging out in tree waiting for the hen to walk in.

Turkey hunting is Woulda, Coulda , shoulda.  Keep at it.

Anyone have suggestions for hunting gobblers in 5-6” or fresh snow?

Or some mossy oak tundra?!

We're in the same boat with the snow, except maybe 8-10". Quick Google search says they may stay in the roost and behave more sluggish, we didn't hear a gobble today.

This late snow reminds me of a time when i was hunting turkey in the manzano mountains in nm. They stayed quiet until about 9am and then it seems like they finally warmed up and they were on fire. My cousin shot a double that day with one shot.

Didnt hear a thing this evening.

Track them.
