The pain train is rolling up on Oklahoma City as I type with Daggerz at the wheel and Solo riding shotgun. We ought to be near our Texas farm about gobble time if all goes well. Going to try to listen in the morning and do some scouting before the saturday opener. We have 3 places in Oklahoma that we have to check out before the monday opener there. We are hoping for a safe and successful trip. We have 18 tags right now and can buy 1 more each in Oklahoma if needed.

Those poor turkeys don't know what's about to happen. Be safe and good luck guys!

Kill 'em!!!

BGD

They will remember us from last year soon. they killed 10 off of the place opening week before we got there last year, we made sure we were first in line this year for the spring harvest.

We did ok last year in 2 days.

Good luck Brandon. God bless and yall he careful!

Good luck fellas and keep us posted

Good luck fellas! Have a safe trip!

X2

We're about an hour away or so. The temps have dropped from the 60's to the 40's with at least a 30mph North wind. Feels like friggin Kansas. Weather is supposed to come back around by opening day.

Good luck!

Good luck guys!

Good luck guys!

Good luck!

Good luck fellas bust some noggins and be safe!

Brandon, what part of Texas are you going to be hunting? I was in Wellington last November, and the Rios were everywhere.

We flew into Oklahoma City.

Man, it looks like y'all killed a pile of small bucks too.

Good luck men!! Hope y'all rip em a new one...

Good luck brotha

Ain't nothing like pulling up to your parking spot and seeing a pile of strutters in the cattle lot just chilling out.

Daggerz about to come out the truck, ain't he?

Good luck buddy

Good luck!

good luck yall. Smoke another big pile like in the picture!

Good luck!

Good luck and bsafe

Brandon: And you can't invite your fellow club member from Chicago for a road trip? Good luck to you guys. Those Okie birds don't stand a chance against 'Bama boys

Finally getting some lunch and gonna go check another spot. Tons of sign everywhere just like last year. I need a 6 pack of lonestar and I am ready to put them to bed.

Bud, your invite must have gotten lost in the mail. Solo and Daggerz got theirs so I'm not sure what could have happened

Enjoy and watch out for rattlers. Hope yall fill all your tags with some long spurred toms!

Brandon: The check is in the mail, it's only a cold sore, my herpes is in its dormant stage, and your invite was sent!

Or the two biggest Polish lies: the check's in your mouth, and I won't come in your mail!

Hope y'all have a great trip! That's a sure nuff pile of turkeys!!!

Well we have found a ton of birds today. A bunch of strutters with hens. Several mack daddies with some sho nuff ropes. We are going to a big roost tonight to see how many show up and devise a plan of attack for the morning.

Post up some pics of some live birds at the roost!

That's the plan

Good luck guys!!

I have a feeling tonight is going to be the last night on a limb for several of those old gobblers

Sounds like morning is going to sound a lot like a firing squad, best of luck to you gents

Whackem and stackem fellas. Stay safe and keep us posted

Turkey, don't let Big D quick draw u. He's been known to do such things. Good luck men.

We have a different group put to bed for each of us..... Game on now! I'm out, been up since yesterday at 5am.

Good luck in the morning guys, stack them up.

Don't let D go overboard. He gets itchy in situations like this.

Can't wait to see the destruction!

let em have it boys!!!!!!

Sounds like fun! Hope y'all wearem out! Shoot me a report from Texas and let me know what they're doing. I leave Monday for Haskell county.
Hunting Monday pm - Thursday. Y'all leave 1 for seed!

Looking forward to see the carnage that starts shortly!

Well? They gobbling yet? I thought this was a live from thread?

This is a live from the truck thread for now......it don't get daylight here until 6:50ish here right now.

Good luck guys!

It's bout to get real!

Good luck...

I'm a little bit surprised that we don't have a dead turkey yet!

You do have a dead turkey(s). They'll tell later.

It appears D wasn't playing games this morning, he meant business.

I Know of 5 dead so far

Get em'

I've hunted 3.5 days so far this year and killed 5 birds I'm liking these odds but not the amount of time I've gotten to hunt this year so far.

Yall keep laying the wood to them

I ended up sitting up ALOT closer to the birds this morning than I meant to. I walked in and was sitting down when I heard a hen and she was close, to close for my liking. I got situated and sure enough the gobblers and jakes started firing off and there was a bunch of them. The hens started pitching out and it was DARK. I was worried that I wasn't going to even be able to tell the jakes from the gobblers if they came by me. The hens worked out in front of me and to my right with 3 jakes that were strutting, gobbling, and yes even drumming. I've never heard a jake drum before but one of the 3 that were stayin with the hens could roll like a big boy. That really surprised me. There were several jakes chasing the longboards off and it being pretty dark it was hard to tell which was which at times. A bunch of birds were roosted to the left and had pitched down and were already going away from me so I knew if I could ever pick a longboard out I could make a loop and try to get on them later, but i probably had 50 or so birds out in front of me in the pasture. Finally I saw 5 jakes chasing a longbeard from my left through the woods and headed my way. Sure enough they drive him into range and I dumped him. All of the birds scattered and ended up going the same direction gobbling and fighting the whole way. When they got it of sight I got up and went to try and find the other group of birds. I ended up finding one gobbler out strutting in a wheat/cotton field but he wouldn't budge. I did a big circle and got near where I thought he was headed and called a few times to see if I got an answer and I didnt. I eased up toward the field and saw a bunch of jakes running around and a gobbler way off to their right so I hit the ground and backed up into some bushes. I pulled out a mouth call and talked a few times and heard nothing. I heard something behind me at one point and had turned to see why it was and when I went tn turn I saw a gobbler at 100 yards freaking out trying to find a way under the fence. He finally figured it out and put on a good show strutting and gobbling for me. I didn't know if he was going to close the gap past 75 yards but a little sweet talk had him to interested and got him shot. The first bird looks like a good 3 year old, the second is a 2 year old. I found a pretty good shed when I went out to pick #2 up and saw a ton of these tame deer out here. We saw a roadrunner yesterday and I had one come in on me a few minutes ago to investigate. If they can be called in they are big a enough to be some fun to hunt. I walked back to my original setup to stash my second bird and there is a gobbler out in the pasture all alone.


Brb...... I hear hens talking back to me.

Alright, she wanted to throw down, but she didn't bring any gobblers with her. she made it to about 5 feet before she pumped the brakes. I thought I might finally get attacked by a turkey and was kind of looking forward to it.

Awesome! Love the live updates and congrats on the birds!

Clearly you're hunting inside a high-fence...

Me and this bull are about to have a serious disagreement. Every time he sees me he starts bellaring, pawing the ground and trying to bow up on me. Ain't no rocks and the sticks all have thorns in them.

Sticks and rocks? You have tss, but may need a bigger cooler to bring a whole bull home.

Man I love Texas. We used to go to a ranch in Sabinal that was bowhunting only. 13k acres of prime deer hunting. This place had the most turkeys I had ever seen,but back them I just thought they were a noisy deer scaring corn eating bird. Thinking back at all the oppertunities I passed up to shoot one with my bow so I wouldn't mess up the deer hunt makes me sick. I just didnt have the turkey sickness back then I have now. Guess Im gonna have to plan a trip west next year. Anyway congrats on the kills. Pile em up deep!!!!

awesome Brandon keep bringing the pain to em brother!

I was surrounded by birds this morning, but could only get one to break away from the groups. He came hard but got to 50 yards and wouldn't budge. I could've killed him but I would have to swing hard right and shoot. Didn't like it and let him walk off. Got on two more good gobbling birds but they did they same thing. Just hung out at 65 yards looking into the bottom I was in and wouldn't budge. They walked off too.

This just wasn't my morning.

That's what you get for losing all that weight. That bull sure wouldn't have done that last year.

Congrats on the hunt this morning. Looking forward to more carnage updates and pics.

Time for some bird cleaning and lunch and then back at it.

How many turkeys a day/ season can you legally shoot in TX?

4 in texas if I remember correctly

Sounds like yall having a blast

Yep

Headed back after them.

We are so far. It's going to be in the high 90's Monday on so that is not going to be fun, but it's part of it I guess.

Sounds like ya'll are doing some good!

Keep it up

Stack em up

Looks like my second out of state trip will be to Oklahoma and Texas. The number of birds you can kill is awesome. Yall keep slaying them! I'm gonna have to get some information on planning my trip next year.

Just wondering. How many tags do you get in Tx and Okie
And congrats

Congrats fellas. Keep up the good work

Congrats Men

Congrats guys! Looks like Big Dave done decapitated that one on the right

Gonna try to decapitate another, this eve. It's freaking hot, where I'm sitting. May have to sit on a cooler, like I'm dove hunting, n a few days, when it heats up, to the nineties.

Nah you'll prolly be sittin on a cooler waitin on everybody else to get done after this evening

4 in tx, 2 in ok

Just had 6 deer try to walk down the same trail I am sitting on. One come up and tried to sit down with me. Called in 2 jakes, then a hen, then a coyote so far this evening

Good to read gentlemen!!

Shoot straight and stay safe!!

Looking forward to the updates and pics!!


God Bless,
David B.

Sounds like a good start to another fun, multi-state turkey massacre. Good job and good luck with the rest of the trip!

Solo you in any birds this afternoon?

good job Yall!

Dang I miss Texas. Youre in the panhandle again Brandon?

Good job piling them! Texas is awesome, and just crossing that river into OK its just the same...just a different tag!

Good luck boys and fill all those tag!

Congrats

another question Brandon..are not those big roosts something? Those rolling gobbles that start at one end and go for 1/2 a mile?

Dang it man...I miss that area for turkeys!

Good job getting the opener this year. Nothing like being the first one in on those roosts. Looks like you and Ole daggerz are getting it done!

He was at the athens meeting with Matt wasnt he?

Cmon solo...get on that helmet and get in the game!

Im sure youll have one dead by dark!

Been an active hour or so. I was yelping and cussing a hen back and forth earlier and a silent gobbler comes in off my right shoulder. I was froze but at 10' he knew something wasn't right. He eased off and out into the pasture and just stood still at about 200 yards. The hen I had been calling to was coming to be and then I heard a gobble from where she was. 4 hens and a gobbler hit the pasture. He wouldn't budge but he didn't end up following his hens to the water tank and stayed between me and them. He finally had enough soft talk and got a little to close checking me out and I let the tss do it's thing. Another solid 3 year old.

That makes 6 for us today so far with another hour or so of light left.

good job yekrut! keep us posted!

Y'all are tearing em' up! Congrats.

Solo got one, makes 7


Standing here at 8:50 waiting on a ride. This moon is wicked awesome.

Congrats B! Sounds like y'all are gonna be headed home soon with piles of turkey breast!

Congrats on a great day 1! How many days are you guys gonna be able to hunt?

Do yall hunt on private land of an outfitter or public land? Id love to plan a trip like this.

GOT to be home Friday. Hopefully sooner if we can kill 11 more birds before then.

It's private, just paying locals to hunt their farms.

Glad y'all are having a great time Brandon. Congratulations on the kills as well to all of you. Be safe driving home.

Your PM's are about to be full...LOL! Pick me, pick me!

We've got us a nice piece of wire or a staple in the tire to deal with sometime tonight or tomorrow. Its leaking slow so hopefully it stays up, can't have nothing nice.

Got 1 this evening, but had probably 10 gobblers come in silent from all different directions. Couldn't get turned on them.

Givem hell fellas

Congrats Trey

Looks like a lot of fun fellas
