Got some great trail cam photos this morning. Tweeked a couple blinds as my 78 year old brother and sister-in-law are coming up for fishing and turkey hunting this week end and next week..

This bearded hen has been around for a while.

Nice pics. I love the strutting jake. He looks tasty! I just made a batch of smoked wild turkey chili with some legs from last year.

Was a wet and windy sit. Had a couple hens come in but that’s it. Certainly less than ideal conditions for walleye and turkey opener.

There definitely seem to be more

birds around. I’ve seen Toms both mornings but they have been locked on hens.

This might be one on trail cam. 10” beard.

Great bird, nice job Kevin!

This bird walked the same stretch 3 days in a row. He would sort of shadow the flock 100 yards away. Finally I got set up in the right spot this morning. I never made a call.

Got  a couple trail cams photos and reset a couple blinds today. Worked a nice Tom and 5 hens for 2 hours yesterday. Finally had the hens in the decoys but the Tom stayed at 55-69 yards. Had safety off but decided not to shoot as he didn’t appear nervous and it’s early in the season. Hopefully I can get my wife one tomorrow.

Got some great photos of a Jake and deer together in my decoys at 15 yards. Jake came back several times and was gobbling.

Jakes are more tender anyway! 

 

Hopefully we will have another dry late May and June so we have another good hatch.
