nicely done. I went to the wrong spot. I stayed in the bush, should have setup on the edge as 3 jakes and 6 hens were in the field for quite awhile. I did see 6 deer walk by and 2 seperate coytes and single hen walk by. Too bad the yotes were just out of range. That probably why didn't see much in the bush.

It was a "Dear Penthouse: I never thought it would happen to me, but...." this morning. At first light and at the end of the rains, 3 toms and 8 jakes roared across a field towards me. Never been there before! All birds passed by in range but the Toms were in the crowd didn't give a clean shot. It's early, ......I hope(?) On May 31, it would be "B.O.O.M.! What did I get?"
Congrats to all out this morning and good luck to all still chasing!

I had birds near me with two BIG toms.
I made some light calls just to hear a field over other hunter start smashing on their box calls because they heard me. They couldn’t even see the bird from where they were but could hear me. I swear they were the worst Turkey callers ever as they hammered NON Stop for 20 plus minutes not even taking a break to listen once.
The birds I saw I watched leave really far away.
I walked out and drove my truck back to my blind so they would see me and stop calling. 😂😂😂.
I went back in the afternoon and the big Toms were back with 6 hens so I couldn’t even get to my spot without them busting me.

I witnessed something like this last fall for duck season. Was quite a laugh to sit back and watch it go on 15 mins back n forth until they realized.

Oh it gets worse. Didn’t go Monday morning. Got there Monday afternoon to find someone trespassed and shot a bird on the land I have permission to hunt.
