Cold t get out for the morning hunt but made it out for the late evening for the first time. As I’m reading an article on late afternoon turkey hunting I hear hens start calling, then start seeing in a field west of me 1,2,3 back bla blah 7. I hear them calling and feeding so I just let some gentle clucks out and they call back. Hoping they go and roost in the same area they always do I just stay out and wait. All of a sudden they start running off. I think coyote but then a menenite comes through the field and they all fly away. Some go left some go right some go back and one with a red head end up flying behind me. All
goes quite and im
thinking damn it’s done for the night. I make one more call and I get a response that sounds like a hen. I wait and it comes closer and closer. I hear the ground start crunching and as I look behind me I see this fire engine red head 20 yards behind me coming my way. I awkwardly try to get ready for a shot at the young jake but he comes up into the open and instead of going left to me he high tales it to the right and over the hill...first time hunting that late in the evening but I will definitely do it again. Haven’t had that much action and fun in the turkey woods in a while! No bird to tell you about but hands down reassured my love for the sport.

Sounds like an exciting hunt.......

Sorry everyone. I hit 7 instead of
6. 745 would be highly illegal. Thank you frank ( fratri) for pointing out my error.

At least you had a new experience

I enjoy the evening hunts. Usually warmer and yes,, anything can happen.
Shot a few birds just before 7pm

Again went out for the evening last night and again saw plenty of turkey. Couldn’t bring them
In closer then 100 yards but still the action was great in the evening even with the higher winds.

Your best to take the firearm back to your vehicle first. Hard to prove to co at the truck when ya walk out at 830 with your gun in hand. How does he know know you unloaded and locked it at 7 ?

Since when do we need trigger locks for anything other than storage and how is this any different than coming out of the bush after legal light with an encased firearm in any other big game season? The CO still has no way of knowing if you encased your firearm at the end of legal light if you have a 30 minute walk to your truck where he meets you.
