Well.....
every morn I have been out patterning some birds close to home here in good ole Ooltewah. Got my finger on these two groups and the lead CANADATES for Allie and LeighAnne's first ever hunt.
The first picture---I have been watching a flock of 167 birds flydown every day together. There are only 7 longbeards in the group though.2 grey phase hens , a PILE of jakes anf the rest hens. Looks like Allie is in for some real cardio that morning.I have named this group of gobblers the "Gatekeepers".
Hope Allie puts a RED DOT on one of dems head. The second picture is them first starting to settle their differences--they have been getting along well until today---its getting close !!!
The 3rd picture is a strong potential target for LeighAnne. He is the only longbeard I have been watching in this little flock, but they do the same thing every day. Hope she is lucky with my scouting for her.
This makes me so nervious--nothing like when I hunt---I want them to witness, and feel what this sport means to all of us. I would love to video the hunt, but keeping up with them,the birds and my excitement in the moment, I am just afraid to try to pull that off also.

Oh yeah, fair hunt.  *lol*  Fenced in farm birds  *lol* *lol* *lol*

Looks like you have a couple nice flocks picked out for the girls.  You have a video camera?   You may want to video this hunt.  Heck, I'm nervous for them.  *lol*

167 birds and only 7 longbeards?  That could be interesting.  Good luck.

With this group of six hunters, those fenced turkeys still have a 95% chance, or better, of surviving the season.  I think one would have to pitch off the roost branch, lodge himself in the fence links, and die of strangulation for you guys to get on the board.
