Good luck guys! I'll be heading to the woods right after work is done for the day. Looks like beauty weather for the week too!!

Had two Jake's come in but stayed on the edge of bush and I think I screwed up by yelping instead of letting the decoy pull them in. They went off into the bush behind me.
Was exciting though and had my heart pumping.
How come the birds round here don't shock gobble at calls like all the pro videos you see on TV?
Lol. I find it so hard to locate a bird after about 2 hours into the hunt life gets silent.
I was even about 100 yards off the roost and gobbler went the opposite way.
Did hear a few shots off in the distance so I'm sure a few people got opener birds.

Came home empty handed. Rain stopped just after setup. No gobbles off the roost. Saw some hens off in the distance but no Jakes with them. Young fellow I was with didn't have ant rain gear on and didn't last long when the winds picked up first thing. Out of set up and on way home by 930. Went out for afternoon set up a blind and got ready for the wait only to find I grabbed 3.5 shells for my semi instead of 3. Oh well opening day jitters back to my bow and afternoon hunts until Sunday.

Was out Sat with my son before he had to work. He's an apprentice so I'm calling and he's got the gun. We were working a Tom from the farm next to us and the guy on that farm got him. We stuck around and continued to call. I thought I head some gobbling from behind, way off in the distance so I was facing away from my son when I heard him click the safety off and boom. He dropped a young female coyote that was sneaking in on our dekes. Landowner was happy. One less yote to harass her chickens. Betters the chances of the new fawns also.
