Got Out

[MKMGOBL]

This evening I stepped out to see if I can help a friend with coyotes on his property According to him, he had a “huge” one cross right behind his barn at 1 o’clock today. Well I got there and it turns out I left my FoxPro on so it was dead. I decided to slip out over the hill in front of his farm and watch a good size field from a high point.

Walking back I came up on 6 Jakes feeding in the middle of the field. I keep on walking to my high point and pretty much ignored them and they never ran off. They just keep feeding but away from me. Up on my high point, I stood there watching them and the field. Then about 100yds away down near the 6 Jakes I see more turkeys! 4 long beards are now feeding with the Jakes and they have not a care in the world I’m standing there watching them. This confirms my thoughts that turkeys do know how to read and definitely has someone supplying them with NH F&G regulation book or maybe just the season dates.

About 45 to and hour goes by and I notice a deer coming out in the next field over. Looking through the scope it looks to be a buck but I wasn’t sure. Then I catch another deer walking straight to me about 130yds away and this one was definitely a buck! Nice wide velvet rack. The other deer I saw pop out of the overgrown field starts running to the buck. Turns out it is a buck too but only with small velvet spikes.

As I start to leave, I used a small tree line to block my approach on the 2 bucks so I can get a better look. As I get to an opening, there they are at about 75yds feeding. Mosquitoes were getting bad so I just start walking from my tree line cover. As I break out into the opening, there’s another buck in velvets standing about 60yds from me. The 3rd buck was probably the twin to the spike buck.

What an AWESOME evening to be out seeing all this Gobblers lived and now I’m getting to see what bucks are running the farm.

That spot is a wildlife mecca! Keep that one well guarded.

I try to keep them all well guarded but this one is known by several morons. I guarantee at least 4 or 5 guys will be bow hunting 30yds apart on it which does nothing but push the deer over to the posted piece close by. The posted piece that I have permission to hunt

This place is where Jake missed on the last group of birds I called in. I'm not sure it gets hit for turkey hunting but definitely not by anyone that knows what their doing ;D The fact I called in so many bird in the season lull period and that there's 10 bearded birds still there tells me that much Next spring I’ll probably have Jake there for the youth hunt… unless another gobbler grabs my attention

sounds like a great spot! also sounds like i should start doing the rounds glassing fields

Right after a field is cut is a great time to see wildlife We've popped a lot of fox on the farm right after we bailed a field. A lot of times it was after we raked the hays rows. The fox would be working the strips of hay looking for critters taking cover under it

[bowhunter603]

i would think a lot of the hay fields would be cut soon

[MKMGOBL]

Most of the fields I know of are but there's a few that are not. Heck! I'm still waiting to get my blind out from turkey season but the field is not cut yet. Hopefully this weekend

I'm heading out now to ditch the 22-250 from the truck so I can take the light out for a little looks see in the cut fields

Sounds like a great spot!!! Even better having permission on the posted land next door!

The farmers are starting to cut down by me as well. I have been seeing some deer in the fields but mostly does.
