]]> Talked to John this morning and looks like his son Tucker is not just a good luck deer hunter but also provide John with some good luck for turkeys.  John and Tucker got a chance to go out over the Easter weekend and laid the smack down on a good size bird.  Congrats to Tucker for being a natural in the woods and congrats to John!  I can’t wait till I can take my son out and I hope that he is as good as Tucker is in the woods.

]]> Been a busy few days back in the office.  Brandon and I went out last week and heard a lot of turkeys but kept getting the slip when trying to setup on them.  Had two gobblers in our lap Friday morning but when they flew down so did a hen which promptly escorted them down the ridge towards pasture land.

We did have a cool late morning hunt on Friday with a hen coming in to our decoys in a pasture and got some good video of her trying to figure out why the decoys were not following her when she walked past.  Played this game for about 45 minutes until she finally got frustrated and walked up into the mountains.

]]> Had an awesome opening day for the 2011 turkey season.  Bill, Randal, Brandon, and I got to the hunt club in time on Friday to roost a few birds.  We all took off after them in the morning with Bill going solo and knockin one’s lights out.  He used decoys and some good callin to bring in his 20 pound plus bird with 9 1/2 inch beard and 7/8 inch spurs.  Brandon, Randal, and I went after birds together and I got some good video of Brandon calling with 4 to 5 different turkeys responding back and forth.  Randal took a bird that tried to slip up on us at the last minute.  With some quick manuvering Randal took the shot and knocked down a nice one very similar to the size of Bill’s.

]]> Turned out the coyote hunting was pretty much a bust due to shorten time period out in the woods due to health circumstances.  We did get to put up some electrical fencing to try and save some apple trees for the deer herd this fall.  Also, tried to catch a fish or two before coming back home.  Next time we will be out at the hunt club we will be hunting down some turkeys.
