Always turkeys there. That's where the wife usually kills her turkey but it was under water this year during her seasonChad that looks like an awesome place to hunt.
Got to love a bird who's will to stick his neck out to play the game.
Now THAT is one handsome shooting ironMy wife and I drew 2nd season tags here in CO for a unit we've done well in the past. We wouldn't have much time this year and it would be complicated by a 15 month old daughter.
Friday night we set up the new popup camper near the SWA. I was up first, so at 430am I left the family asleep and drove over. Oops, my phone thought I crossed the timezone and I was an hour early. Slept on the dog bed for 45 minutes and headed out.
Birds were not roosted where i hoped, but half an hour of gobbles let me know there were some around. Calling has not been useful on this property, too many birds, and it played that way again.
Around 7am I found a flock 400 yards out in the great wide open. I snuck along the fence line, sometimes on hands and knees to get where I hoped they were headed. Luck worked in my favor, except I was in plain sight of the hens and the gobbler was out of sight. I was just lyung face down next to a yucca. Finally, at 8am I saw a fan, lifted myself up a few inches and pulled the trigger.
Looking from where the tom was back at my hiding spot.

Unfortunately, we had to bail before my wife could get out due to some unrelated circumstances.
They love to gobble at me as they are walking the other direction. Just to let me know that they aren’t going to buy what I’m selling.Live look in from the turkey woods. I thought I was going to get one to play at first light but I never could see him. I’m working on making a big circle around a bird to get in front of him. He’s been gobbling every 15 or 20 minutes but is going away from me down the valley.
