Well, the birds were back to being vocal.
We just had not been able to scout the place the day before the hunt.
Lot's of birds in roost that morning.
Just needed to be 100 yards closer.

We jumped 1 tom up while moving in for a better look.
Then on the way to the truck 2 more.
We went back into the woods for them & Bird got a shot off with no success.

Hunted up till 11:00 a.m. & seen 3 jakes that went into another area we were not allowed into.
Still was a good morning of turkey hunting.

Later we went back out around 4:00 p.m. seen 2 toms feeding & swung way out in front of them.
Thought for sure we were gonna get um & be done for the day.
Well on the way to the ambush spot 3 Whitetail does spotted us & ran right threw the turkeys.
We were caught in the open,Bird threw down some yelps & the birds stopped their were 3.
The one turkey started to come our way & then they all bolted across the road.

That was it. I had to run home cause the Lab was not doing good.
She's doing good now.

See ya next trip Bird..maybe later this week.

It was another enjoyable hunt, great hunting spot and good guys to hunt with. It was good to hear the birds making some noise after a week of tight lipped turkeys. Had some close calls on some dandy toms. I still plan on comming back this fall and get some pay back on those deer!!!!
