2022 Wild Turkey Thread

Went out on Tuesday with my brother in law and had an amazing time! First time turkey hunting for me. It was honestly so surreal. Even if we didn't get a bird it would have been an amazing experience just seeing how they behave. Set up and immediately hear them gobbling. A coyote comes out but luckily he didn't ruin our day. A hen comes out and she's all we see for about half an hour. Finally 3 toms and 4 more hens appear. Try calling and waiting for about 45 minutes and then they look like they're going back in the woods so we wait until the last possible second. Brother in law hits his, I thought I missed but he says he thought he saw something fly up and drop, and it seemed like there were too many feathers from just one bird. We try calling again and wait about 45 minutes before having a look and sure enough I did hit him and he was laying along the tree line.

His was 0.3 lbs heavier but had tiny spurs and a shorter beard. Mine was 15.2 pounds, 0.75 and 1 in spurs, and a 10.5 in beard.

Awesome! Congratulations!
 
Congrats 30/06 FTW!

I closed out my season on Saturday with a pretty exciting hunt. I cut my second tag on a bird pretty much identical to my first.....18lbs, 3/4” spurs and 6” beard.

Its been a long time that a season has lasted this long for me. I cant remember the last time I hunted turkeys when there was leaves on the trees and plants on the ground. All the foliage makes for a much more difficult hunt.

The countdown now begins to opening day 2023...

I feel ya on the dying gopro batteries...I have heard that they use some battery power to keep themselves warm in the cold....I bring a backup battery, like for charging cell phones etc...and connect it from the start of my hunt...another cool option is a remote OR the app that let's you observe in real time AND allows you to turn on off recording from your smart phone....keep trying, through trial and error and some sage advice and it will work out
