I'm headed out tomorrow morning with a buddy so if lucky then potential to upgrade... or possible I won't pull the trigger, we haven't worked that out yet

Me to buckbrush, that's what I told the boys while I was at the tire shop today. Good luck to everyone, should be a nice weekend!

3 gobbling this morning but they went the other way I guess. Went quiet when they hit the ground.

Struck out had plenty of chances just couldn't finish. Going to try and sneak out for a quick morning hunt tomorrow before the wife knows I'm gone lol.

Dead quiet yesterday and this afternoon i toted a gun to pull a ground blind and cameras and didn't get a peep the few times I called.

Well I followed a bird yesterday down in a bottom for 5 hrs. They are henned up pretty bad. Finally was able to get in front of him and he disappeared. Pretty sure I didn't bump him. Been a rough go these two weeks.

I heard two gobs Monday morning and should've killed one of them but he didn't have a beard and I was hoping the mature bird was somewhere behind him. Didn't happen. Skipped yesterday and went back in today and didn't hear a peep. I mean nothing even far off. To my dismay, the timber guys have moved yestersay in with a loader and 2 skidders so that end of the property is probably toast. Sorry guys. I'm trying!!

doc i kinda feel your pain. i've been after a few on one end of our club but it seems they have vanished now! think i'll be moving on to the other side.

I heard one gobble twice this morning a long ways off.

Got 3 birds in TX, on road home now. Eventually ill post some pics and upgrade a bird in the scoring post.

Congrats NEbamahunter. I'll be heading to Missouri and NE next month.

Buck - I want a merriams now so like to hear your plan for NE, first time? Bet Mizz will b fun. Want to hunt there at some point in life.

This will be my second time hunting in Nebraska and have hunted Missouri many many times. If you want a merriam NW Nebraska is your best bet Rio's are pretty much everywhere central to West and Easterns to the east. Birds gobble alot but you better get in tight off roost or they will be gone as soon as their feet hit the ground.

FYI guys, I posted upgrade which was my best Rio if u get bored and wanna go look on page 6 of the thread. Great bird, he was a limbhanger.

Buck - Like to get NE details, maybe get your number sometime.... public, private, outfitter, etc.?

Great bird NEbamahunter.

Got it done today. Really good bird. Will post pics later when I get better service.

alright!!!

Heck yeah!

Score 67.75
1" 1/4 spurs
11" beard

I was dang happy with this bird he had given me the slip three other times. Everytime he would fly into the bottom with hens and one time he spooked off the roost at over 100yds very frustrating. Got lucky and caught him with no hens first thing that morning and he was a gobbling fool but didn't want to commit. It took some aggressive calling and some leave scratching to make him mess up.

Yes sir.. that right there is a stud daddy

I wanna know everyone's secret (pointing finger at u currently buckbrush) to making these "purty" turkey kill pics.... I don't know how to pose em up as good as folks online. They teach classes somewhere or something? Tell me where to sign up
