Am leaving in a few minuets for my first turkey hunt of the year. This year it will be all traditional or nothing. Have a brush pile in back of me and some burlap stretched in front. Been like this since last fall deer hunting. Misty rain this morning. No wind. Here's hoping.
Way to go.This is what i do since long time.
good luck to you. I got my first trad bird this year and it was great.
Good Luck! I did the same thing last year and got my first Trad turkey, Elk and deer. It was a great year for me, I'll send some mojo your way.
Thanks guys Turkeys 1 Jim 0 My blind had settleed a little since I checked it a few weeks ago.Was not as hidden as I like. Heard a bird a long way off so I tried to call him. IT WORKED!! He gobbled I answered. This went on for awhile. He shut up and so did I. I saw him out of the corner of my eye. His head went behind a tree, or so I thought. I started to move my bow to ready position,tip moved just a little. That was enough. He turned and was gone clucking all the way. He was within about 30yds. Think I will try again tomorrow.

I'm with you (trad only this year)!
Our season begins Monday... good luck!
Good luck! And great choice with Trad. gear!...Ryan
No barrells today Jim?
Good luck.Thats the path i'm choosing this year to.
No Tony, there is no baiting in Mo.
Good thing! If barrells were in season you'd shoot a booner!!!!!!!!!!! Your site will have the same barrell this season. Or should i change your mojo and use a metal one?Looking forward to having you in camp this fall!
Tony
Metal is way to noisy. If you change barrels on me they will think someone else is there and not come in. Remember need a big soft seat. Or a ground blind. I am getting old and need my comfort. Jim
Comfort='s sleep! I'll get you an easy chair!
Recliner please Lazy boy would do.
The success's just got sweeter. Good luck and keep us updated.
I hunted first 5 days with my compound (this is a transition year for me). I'm going with recurve and Bullhead broadheads in the morning.
Still no turkey, work has been getting in the way. I really dislike these addictions. Roof over your head , food on the table, clothes for the kids.......
Jim, you don't need all those frills in life. Food on the table is when you kill a turkey, Kids have too many clothes already, you already got a roof...GO hunting
Dan
Monday opener I missed on a bearded hen with my recurve shooting from a natural ground blind, I think the fletching touched the chest.
My goal is to take a turkey, elk, and a deer in the same year with the recurve.
Oh yeah, also the lottery would be nice to win.
Dan heard you might be going to Jerry Pierce Memorial shoot at Enid Lake ?? Jim
Nah. I want to but can't. Wife has a friend getting married that weekend, at my house!
Did I hear you were going to Farmland?
What other places are on your schedule?
Dan
Check out our web site. We have a whole bunch listed on there. Yep planning on Farmland.
Lets see 3d shoot or wedding at my house that I have to clean up after...
Yeah, I know. Not really much of a choice, huh.
I just complain every chance I get. That way the wife won't care how many other shoots I go to.
