Dropped a bird Sunday as well, north zone TX.

Had a Jake gobble and drum a 180 degrees around us inside of 15 yard circle. Was a good show as I had a first time hunter with me.

Screwed up on a nice bird Saturday. Bird came in so fast and I did not adjust quick enough to get a shot. He busted us at 30 yards.

Killed one in MS on Friday

Walked all over trying to get a gobble with no luck. Finally sat near a foodplot to take a little break at 9:50am. Called once and just sat. 5 min later, a bird came up the hill behind me silently and gave me a 30 yard shot.

We killed two in North MS 3/24 and 3/25. I don't think I have ever heard more turkeys than I did Thursday 3/24. Hardly heard a peep this weekend at the same spot. I let one slip up on me silently Saturday, I had chosen a poor setup and he busted me when I was lifting up my gun.

Got one Saturday morning in South Fulton county GA. First time turkey hunting. Called in two in two different locations and was able to pull the trigger on a 21.4lb - 9inch beard - spurs 1 1/4 inch gobbler for my first bird.

Very cool experience

Ya'll must have pretty small birds in mississippi and Louisiana also? My father in laws place in Tennessee they killed a 26.2 and 27 over the weekend. Now those are extremely big for anywhere. But 25s are fairly normal. I figured along the river and crops they'd be pretty big birds?

Most of the gobblers I've killed in Louisiana have been around 18-19bs. Biggest I've shot was 22.

I generally hunt locally in the piney woods of SW MS and the Florida Parishes. 20lbs here is a big turkey. I've killed a pile of them around here and I think the biggest one I ever put on a scale was 22.5lbs. I called one up around here for a guy that was 24.2 one time, but to this day I still question the accuracy of that scale.

We have small birds in the Florida Panhandle so I wasn’t talking shite. 17-19 lbs is the normal range also.

I just figured with the Mississippi River and farm land they would get bigger around there is all.

I imagine double spurs are somewhat rare.

Same bird has beaten me two mornings so far.

I actually like this kind of party.
