Been scouting everywhere, just seeing one male hanging out on a property owned by a turkey lover
No other males, and we usually have 50+ Toms spotted by now.
Yesterday, walked a property and my dog brought back some turkey parts, but still no actual birds.
Slept in just a little, drove out to the permission, and now there are two males on
the T-Birds loving property. Sigh. They are tucked in, beards not visible, it's 37 defreeze.
Parked, stretched, maybe passed a little gas cause I'm old, and looked out in the field where I can hunt. Saw some birds on the far end, looked like I could sneak into a ambush point and interdict them. Enter a pellet into them.
Got busted about 15 minutes later by one hen, but the others seemed pretty Santa Cruz about me low crawling through the rough redwood and rocks towards them.. Probably enjoying listening to my creaking bones and popping joints. Couldn't get much closer that a 100 yards, kept trying different approaches
Kept trying to get an angle, but the male had the lay of the land figured out.

Beautiful morning, hopefully I'll have a chance to pull a trigger on something. Finished the last of the duck from January last night, the larder needs replenishing. Good luck to all of you out there and the rest? Get out there, adventure awaits!
