JFT Turkey Tour 2018

[austin.28]

No luck in Jack county this morning, not even a gobble. Anybody else hunting out that way?

Congrats Dustin!
I hunted hard all weekend but got My butt kicked in Kinney County. Way too many hens. Got close but no cigar

Completely different hunting that what I've been used to. Thick cover, standing black water, weary pressured birds, silent for the most part other than gobbling on the roost. Last hunt of the trip I had a gobbler drumming this morning at about 20 yards but couldn't shoot for the briars and deadfall at about my 7 o'clock position. He figured me out then let out a gobble at about 80 yards as he shot me the middle feather and rolled out. That's hunting though. Definitely not the killing we are used to in Texas. I plan on hunting a different state every year from here on out even if I've already killed the subspecies. So much to learn hunting on the road, makes you realize how spoiled we target rich Texas hunters are....Congrats to all who killed this weekend and good luck to the rest. Sunrise in the morning will find the wifey and I on the San Antone trying for her a gobbler last time she sat there she killed a 5 bearded tom. Haven't hunted them in 2 years at this place to give them a little time to recover their numbers.....

Well done James, we just fried up some south Texas bird and it was delish. I have hell posting pics here so y'all will have to trust to me.

Hahaha

It’s been a few years since I’ve hunted it so I figured I’d call up Uncle Colonel

That’s tough

I think the hardest part of hunting trips is the time constraint. It’s tough to kill a bird in a new place in 3 days.

Had you been able to scout and spend a few weeks there, the results would have been different.

Well?

Not too bueno! Ended up only getting to hunt Saturday evening. Could only find two birds that would even make a peep. Called one up abut 2 and other up about 5:30. Both jakes so we passed. Headed out west for the opener this weekend. Can’t suck any worse than it did Saturday

Birds have been acting weird so far

Good luck!

I'm taking the recurve out all this week. I've already punched two tags so I'm hoping to get my second recurve bird since I picked up bow hunting turks.

I may have to find a different spot to hunt depending how much rain Karnes County gets.
