Chasing Spring: Show-Me Gobblers
I finally get to hunt my home state of Missouri where the spring gobblers grow big and loud. Check out our early-season success.
The Missouri spring turkey season is finally here. It was time to do some final scouting and get into some Show-Me State birds. We set up blind number one set up against a tree along the edge of the biggest field where hens are feeding and gobblers were fighting on Sunday evening.

Please Keep this Stuff coming-
There have been days, that I would have just stayed in bed and Not gone hunting, but with Mr Eyes determination, It sure looked like he made things happen. I am starting to see the Turkey world in another light- there is more to it, than just sitting there calling- A quality position, The Right kind of calling and grit- is what I see that it needs to get the job done- WOW- when I saw the winds last week in Kansas and then that Red tv Screen of all the storms coming through and he still went out and had Contact!!!! This sure has given me hope to get out more often and in more conditions that I have never seen people hunt in On TV before- this deserves another WOW
Mr Eye- Please keep it coming- I have my son and some more friends watching these clips - We all think they are amazing-
One friend said he thought it used to be just luck, or these guys hunted at the Rich guy places- Mr Eye sure has showed me, I can think, watch and Hunt!!
After watching many video's and DVD's and reading about all the hunts on Chasing Spring, I am learning alot of different strategies in pursuit of the wild turkey! Using a blind and finding the right set up helps ones odds a great deal when dealing with weather, youth, or other hunters in the same party for additional concealment! I appreciate all these strategies Mr. Eye shares!
After looking through all these photos, you get a sense for Ray's hunting strategy. I remember the days when he was labeled as a "blind" hunter, because he placed numerous blinds on his spots in the open country of north Missouri. He uses blinds when they are the best option for the situation, which, it appears, they were here.
I really appreciate being able to read the captions alongside each photo, for an explanation of why he did what he did.
