So far I'm 0-5.... can locate them but they shut down after 3-5 gobbles. Frustrating but a good time out in the mountains

Heck yeah man same here a lot of driving and listening. Good luck bro. Locate them at night when they rooste and set up in the morning when its dark and start calling when its legal shooting hrs.

LAST EDITED ON Apr-17-18 AT 01:47PM (MST)[p]After scouting many public properties over the years, finally stumbled on this one in Illinois totally off the radar. Tons of birds and zero other hunters two years in a row. Only 2 birds harvested off 10,000 acres last year. This guy weighed in at 22 1/2#. Last year's was an even 25#. Heaviest I've ever harvested.

LAST EDITED ON Apr-17-18 AT 01:53PM (MST)[p]Posted on the other thread, got this one Sunday AM. A little bit of dumb luck never hurts, and I was overdue.

Forgot the scale, but was 13.7 lbs dressed at home, I think that is about average.

Also shot a bearded hen in the evening, first time I've tagged out on opening day.

The new tags are a bit of a pain, they are way too long and skinny. Not so easy to stick back-to-back and keep it neat. I guess wrapping it around an elk antler would be a better test, hope to find out in the Fall!

And nice bird Zim, I assume that's an Eastern.

Jesse, is that one a Merriam's? Seems like it doesn't have enough white on it.
