    Ohio opening morning was mostly a bust. A couple of hunters were in a blind about 150 yards away and one guy shot a Jake with a recurve and the other guy missed the other Jake with a gun. Gobblers were very quiet and henned up pretty good. This was public land, headed to private land for tomorrow’s hunt .

    Mornin' everyone. I hunted this past Saturday morning. I was able to take a nice Tom and get the whole thing on video. I'm hoping to get out again. The bird scored 57. I'll get it posted later today.

    Well I ended up actually getting sick yesterday. I had three Toms walk up at 8am and they were sitting at my decoys at 28 yds. I sent an arrow flying at the biggest tom and aimed for just in front of shoulder/wing. After I released I heard a loud smack and watched the bird backflip and waddle off low and slow. When I got out of the blind there were feathers everywhere but no blood. My arrow had no blood and my Rage didn't open properly, from what I could see. Crawled on my hands and knees for about two hours looking for this bird but never found anything. I absolutely hate leaving animals injured and 24 hours later am still having a hard time with the scenario. Good luck to the rest of you, my season is over.

    It’s been a cat and mouse game so far. Heard about 40-50 gobbles this morning but they wouldn’t come in. They wouldn’t cross the creek to reach me so trying a new strategy.

    Lots of excitement in the blind this morning. I didn’t get a shot but my brother nailed this bird flogging our Jake decoy.
