Heck yeah. I plan on just camping. Be coming off shift this time next week.

Believe I have a plan. Been looking at maps all week. If nothing goes wrong at work, I'll be heading out Friday morning, set up camp that afternoon, probably have time to scout and hope to roost some birds for Sat morning.

Got back yesterday. Arrived in Ok. Sat. afternoon, located a camp site and set up camp. Didn't hear a gobble that evening. Sunday morning, I didn't hear a gobble coming off roost. Covered a lot of ground and I mean a lot of ground. Found some real nice places to set up for Monday morning. Get out there at daybreak and nothing. So here it is Monday afternoon and still haven't heard a single gobble or even a track. There was a couple and their son camping just behind me about 100 yds. While talking to the guy, he said he heard all the gobbling right there at camp. Said they went after 2 different birds right there. He said I should try just sitting at camp in the morning. So, instead of packing it in, decided to stay one more night. This time, I didn't venture out to roost any birds. Decided to cook supper a little early. The couple had already left. So, sitting at camp sipping on a cold one, I finally heard my first gobble. He was waaaay off. Then, I heard a 2nd bird. I planned to sleep in, but still woke up early. So, I went up the road just a little ways to listen. Heard a gobble. Then I heard a truck pull in not far from where this bird was, so back to camp I go to make some breakfast. At 7am, I'm making breakfast and 3 birds open up and 2 of them are hammering it. I hurry up and eat and take off after 2 of them. By the time I get in proximity of where these birds are, they get the ole lock jaw. I went ahead and got set up, called a little bit and waited. Nothing. Decided to head back and pack it in. The guy over that WMA pulled up while I was packing up and got to talking to him. He said right before their youth season, it wasn't nothing to hear 30+ birds gobbling all day long.
Still had a good time getting out. I may go back before their season closes and try it one more time. Never know, they might be more vocal next time.

Funner than sitting at home. I feel like theres always some time requisite before animals magically cooperate haha. Next time!

Got 7 more days off coming up Thursday. Thinking about making another run at it. Looking at a different WMA this time.

Gonna head out in the morning and try another place. Camping on site, planning 2 or 3 days. If anybody wants team up with me, shoot me a PM.

Good luck!

Not looking good here in Oklahoma. Hot and windy. Gnats are about to drive me bats!!! Didn’t hear a gobble anywhere this morning. Found a good looking spot for the morning. If I don’t hear anything there, I’m packing it up and make a trip to East Texas and scratch this place off the list.

It must be bad if East Texas is a better option

Naw, that’s where my deer lease is at. Need to put corn in a few feeders for the hog hunters coming next weekend. But, there is some public ground not far from there that has easterns on it. That’s where I killed my first ever at. That’s been a few years ago. But my brother said the river is up and doubt I can even get back there.

You worked birds and now you are complaining. You hunted one morning and basing everything off that experience. Ok

I was just making a point that there is limited public land in Texas.

Oh ok gotcha. Sorry . My bad
