Youth Sutherland hunt May 8th

[BIGCIM]

So my 13 year old son will get to experience his first turkey hunt this Wednesday. He is more than excited. He talks about it every weekend since winning the draw.

Has anyone been down to Sutherland recently? Have the birds been responsive to calls or is very little soft calling still our best bet.

Took the old decoys out of storage, I have 2 hens and a tom. Ill take them all with me but will probably only put out the hens if anything.

Brian,

What zone do you have?

 

[BIGCIM]

Sorry, Camp Hope.

 

[MAG 1]

YOU SHOULD BE GOLDEN. THERE ARE 3 BIG TOMS STILL ROAMING THAT AREA.

Should we hunt out of a doghouse blind just in case? I was thinking of using one anyways since kids have a hard time sitting still.

You can PM me if you want to talk about it.

I'd bring it but you should get a shot opportunity @fly down and I would not use the blind it will spook them

Good luck on Wednesday..
Pay attention to them locating call at daylight .
I would suggest if the boy is fidgety.
I would take the blind for the day.
Being still and hidden is a must.
Good luck man..hope you guys score brother...
