Mentored a couple of kids on their first birds with their dads for the opener last weekend in CA. *Special* public land. Shotguns, mix of pot calls and "tactical" hunting. I cut their faces for privacy reasons.

Back to back years with an opening day bird on Alabama public land. This little Tristar .410 is a hoot to hunt with. Went out the night prior to listen for birds roosting where I ran into a big flock during deer season. Heard a faint gobble after I called in a few owls who were not shy. Got in early to listen the next day and happened to place that faint gobble correctly and was within 100 yards after his first gobble. The quietest subtle tree yelps from me and waited patiently for fly down. He gobbled on the limb for 20 minutes which is always fun. After I heard him on the ground I yelped a few times with some scratching. Few minutes later and a hen was in a full sprint coming by me. In tow was this beautiful gobbler. He stopped in a window and my 9.5 hand load TSS made short work of him at 28 yards. I’ve found I’ve been more successful without decoys. Best of luck out there this year.

Illinois youth season public land. Hiked just under a mile to loop around where we thought they’d roost. Worked two off the roost that slipped us but ended up getting on one. We head to Kentucky next weekend and our Indians season opens in a few weeks so hopefully just getting started! Epic morning and thankful to spend a morning in the woods him!

Youth season here in IL. Private land, CVA Spur .410 with Federal TSS. This bird was already in the field when we found him so no decoys at first. We had a hill and some good cover to get to maybe 200 yards. He had some hens and when I’d call, he’d partially come then turn around he saw no turkeys associated with the calls. When he went into the timber I snuck back down the hill to my truck and got my strutter decoy. I ran back up and quickly got it set on the field edge. When he came back out and I started calling again, he saw that decoy and came on a string. He put on a show drumming and beating up my decoy until my son hosed him. Maybe a 30 yard shot.
