got back last night from a week of bowhunting turkeys in northern missouri. never worked a bird all week. it was cold, rainy and the birds were henned up bad. tuesday a bird gobbled to the south of me but a hen appeared to by left and headed straight to the bird. needless to say he did not gobble long after that. wednesday had a bird strutting in the field 100yds away with two hens. a coyote appeared and headed straight to the gobbler. i thought the gobbler was toast. he stood his ground and the coyote went right past him. even though i did not get to pull my bowstring back i did see some strutters and found new deer trails for this fall.
anyone else hunting northern missouri?
Yep! They are a bit hard to come by up here tho. No luck here yet....
I saw few on my 1 day hunt. Far less than 3 yrs ago.
