[QUOTE="JCDEERMAN, post: 5608781, member: 5787"] We had 8 guys in camp starting around lunch Thursday until Sunday morning. Weather was perfect, other than Sunday morning being cool, wet and windy. Smoked chicken wings Thursday night. Fridays was grilled ribeyes and smoked lamb racks. Saturday night was 37 lbs of crawfish. The crawfish is a 15+ year tradition for opening of turkey season. We had a 50% kill rate by noon on opening day - 4 out of 8. All the young guys killed and all the old guys blanked. I’ve never heard more gobbling in my life. Killed mine at 8:20. He was gobbling on the next ridge over every 30 seconds. We exchanged some talking and he shut up for about 4-5 minutes, then he gobbled down in the hollow in between us and he had cut the distance in half. I didn’t say another peep. He knew where I was and he was on the move. 8-10 minutes later still didn’t hear anything. I told myself “something’s fixing to happen.” It wasn’t 20 seconds later, I see a red head coming through the clover. First one with the new gun and pumped to get back out there! Ended up with 4 birds: 1) 18 lbs / 1” spurs / 9” beard 2) 19 lbs / 3/4” spurs / 9 3/4” beard 3) 21 lbs / 1” spurs / 9.5” beard 4) 23 lbs / 1” spurs / 9 3/4” beard Not the best of pics and I gave them hell about it, but it is what it is 🤣 Habitat work has really shown its handsome head! Thank you Lord! [/QUOTE]
