Got 1st season. Didn't know if I was going to get out this spring with my health issues. Doc said it was ok , just have to get up and move around in blind so I don't get a blood clot in my legs. Saw 3 hens so far and a few distant gobbles.

Kid got permission and went out this afternoon. Called a tom to 25 yards and did not shoot because he did not come strutting in and flog the decoy. He's pretty ate up with turkey hunting.

Out for the first sit this morning. Had the whole experience besides for a shot. Hung up at 30 yards and I’m bow hunting so wanted him a bit closer.

Had 2 of them coming in at same time from different directions and both got intercepted by hens. Also had a couple hens in among the decoys. Hoping one of the gobblers comes back after he gets done with hen.

You guys are already hunting and Ohio doesn’t open until Saturday. I went with Dad to the WV mountains for trout fishing and mountain turkey hunting. Fishing sucked. The state is barely stocking any numbers. We caught 1. Turkeys never gobbled during the good weather prior to the Monday opener. Weekend weather was this. Monday opener was rain sleet hail then snow. Tuesday was this. We left for hunting closer to home with lower elevation and better weather. Worked 2 henned up birds Wednesday. Back to work today. Back at the birds with my daughter this weekend.

After fucking up Thursday on a nice Tom I took revenge on a Jake today with my bow. Got it on video and they came in all strutted up so I let one have it. My daughter is up next if it ever gets nice.

Love watching turkeys come marching out of spruce and pines. Thats secretly why Art planted them years ago. Its so secret even Art forgot why he did it.

I like the tail mounted on the decoy. Great movement with the wind.
