Well I went out scouting the fields after the rain. Spotted 3 turkeys in a field that manure had been spread on. I snuck to the top of this gravel pit so I could look down on them. Two looked like hens, one maybe a jake but it was hard to tell. I kept walking and basically went around the perimeter of my hunting area. I did find something cool lying right on top of the soil of a planted corn field.....a near perfect arrowhead! It's a beauty and I plan on putting some pics up! So I got up this morning and set up by the edge of the field where I saw the turkeys last night....Saw and heard nothing until I walked down the field edge and into the woods. A hen called so I called back and we were going at it then she quit and didn't come in! I've had this happene twice this season...go figure. So I eventually went to another field where there was sign...saw and heard nothing...Went to another spot this time in the woods,really nice open area....saw and heard nothing. I headed home at 9am. Came to the field behind our house and saw a lump in the dirt on the edge of the woods...thought it was a stump or dirt....until I walked out in the field and it wasa turkey! So I am going on top of the gravel pit tonight because it borders that field where I saw turkeys last night and the woods where I think the turkeys roost. Hopeflly there is something with a beard in there somewhere!
