Several years ago I called in a group of Toms in the middle of May. Think it was week 3 of the turkey season.

Once the last day of the season with maybe 10 minutes two go I smoked one with an arrow,I stuck a pig once with 2 minutes on the last day

after putting In many many days that was my best.

2 years ago, on the Horseshoe 2 wildfire, I called in a big Gould's tom to less than 40 yards with no calls and he was in full strut. Just my own half-a$$ed yelping. That was the end of May.

Called in a really old tom the last day of the 2008 season late hunt about a half hour before sunset. We had a big cold front come in across the rim that year. First time I got rained on, hailed on, and snowed on during a turkey hunt. Only mild winds but the lightning got bad about an hour after getting my bird. My dad and I were a long ways from the truck & he found a huge elk shed in the dark on the way back. Was a strange but fun experience.

Called on in a tom in the evening two days before the last day of the hunt. About an hour before dark he started gobbling and came in to about 15 yards, in unit 7 2011.

I've had good success calling in gobblers late in the season. Late in the season, it's 90% knowing the birds you're hunting and about 10% calling. JMO

Swivelhead, what do you mean 90 percent knowing the birds your hunting? Like knowing patterns of daily activity from scouting or the breeding stage they are in?

[Coach]

Had about 7 today gobble at me honking my horn and making "gobble like" sounds at them. Tame as kittens. All depends on where you are - these birds had never been hunted, and they were in full force chasing the few hens around.

Coach, if they are in unit 1, please shoot me coordinates!

bdd123 was in camp opening morning and called in a tom. His wife's stupid little dog chased it away before anyone could get a shot

Coach, if they are in unit 1, please shoot me coordinates!

I wish they were in unit 1 . Got my back side kicked in 1. These were out on Bonito Prairie, coming back from fishing on the Black River.

Had a good morning in 1. Had two toms talking this morning. Worked one of them and he was hammering. Would answer every call and had him coming on a string. He got to 70 yards when a coyote came running in between us. Scared the heck out of him and he was gone. Coyote sat down out in front of me at 40 yards. I drew my bow settled the pin on him, released and hit a limb. Good morning though.

I called in a hot gobbler yesterday evening. Then I shot him in the face. First Turkey. I'll post a story tomorrow. Still trying to get my wife to fill her tag.
