After striking out last weekend with the grandkids on their Junior hunt, I found a spot off the beaten path that was holding turkeys, figure out my game plan and head out solo this morning for my spot only to find the access gate locked...WTF...ok plan B that I didn't really have, actually plan b and c were on the other side of the gates too..lol
So I make a u turn and turn on my onxmap to try and find nearby blm or cnf access roads, right after sunrise I find something that looks promising, I pull in there and right away see 4 hens with a couple of toms right on the dirt road heading to private land.. look over at my onxmap and it shows I'm just inside the cnf boundary. ..I park grab my gear and head for a treeline that puts me further in cnf about 150 yards from where the turkeys were, get all set up and start calling and waiting, right around 11:00 this Tom came strutting in....lights out...Fun hunt but I'm beat ...9-1/2 inch beard 3/4 spurs

then walking out at the end of the day I see em.. Bout 400-500 yrds away (and on public land no less)! I'm working this weekend so I'm praying that nobody found my spot... Again, congrats on the nice bird! This will be my first season hunting turkey.
