Any clucking yelpers here? Season opens April 6 here. Mike

"YIP YIP" close enough?

Yep that is close the the yelping I have heard on public lands before<gg>. Located five flocks yesterday with a couple swingers in each group. Goooooobbbbbllleee gobbbbbllee gobble.

turkey season always messes with my hiking trips to greenleaf state park. i seem to pick the same weekend every year to go out there and the gate is always locked. DOH! turkeys

Headed out to western Illinois to hunt the 3rd season April 26 to 29 it's been a cool spring but hopefully they'll be gobbling while I'm out there.

Good luck and I hope they gobble all the way to your set up. Mike

My season just opened but its been cold any rainy. Can't wait to try to locate some.

Thanks! Same to you!

I've got a few spots picked out where we saw turkies last fall while we were bowhunting. One spot I want to try in particular of it rains.

They are out today strutting in the sun after yesterdays rain. Open here Sat.Woooooooo wa wa wa woooooooooohahhh gobbbblllee obbble obbbble

Damn we opened two weeks ago and I doubt I'll get out this year. They'll prolly be scared ****less by the time I go.

Sometimes the later the season the better the hunting. Hens nesting equals gobblers looking for more. Good luck and safe hunting

Nice gobbler!

I plan on heading out on the 15th. Archery season opened April 1, and firearms season opens on the 10th, but I won't be able to go for another week afterwards. Can't wait to get out and enjoy some turkey hunting!

She lets me shoot ever so often. 19 lbs 91/2 inch beard and one inch spurs

Good birds.

Thanks. I think I am starting to age a bit. This morning was my 28th spring season for Oklahoma. There were no everyday hunting shows on the Outdoor Channel then. In my town I only knew two older gentlemen who had ever killed a legal wild turkey. Both used box calls only and barely wore the new off them. They only called like ten times the whole season but always killed turkeys. Man times have changed. I still use my box calls a lot but I sure like the mouth yelpers for closing the deal Mike

My go to caller is a slate, but I've been using my Birmingham 3-hole Lynch a bit this year.

Got lucky again 10 inch beard 20 lbs

Two years ago on this one. Haven't got out yet this year.

24 lb Eastern Hybrid.

Made my honey's day. 9 1/2 inch beard 18 lbs and one inch spurs. Just got permission to hunt this area last night. 50 mile from the house so I did some google earth scouting. 25 mph winds this morning so the twin hen box and loud wing bone calling cut thru and got his attention. Mike

Nice job. It's tough hunting turkeys in the wind.

I like the Decoy! NC opened up yesterday. Unfortunately I wont get my chance till this next week.

The decoy is a clorox style plastic jug with burlap glued to it. Stuck a few feathers here and there and a fake turkey head. Looks like a wimpy Tom that would be fun to pick on. I don't want him to look real big and mean. Almost forgot I filled the jug with great stuff and put a piece of dog wood in for a stake. Mike

Deb limited out for Oklahoma this morning. 20 lbs 9 1/2 inch beard and 1 and 1/8 th spurs. Woooooo wooooo wa wooooooah. Mike

Sweet! I see boss gobblers like to get shot by women too.
