Turkey season

[devil-man]

Did anyone get out today?
I'm going tomorrow in the wind and rain.
Hopefully my scouting over the last two years pays off.

Went out for deer hunting with a bow but I have a tag so If I see one I can shoot it.  My dad saw one jake this morning but to small.

I was in a legal zone on the 16th, Reuben.
I have a friend with 21 acres over there in two-turkey land.
Here at home I got out this morning for a little while, now I'm sitting in the office.

Anyone else been out?

 Less than a month to go.  Have been out scouting already and they are starting to flock up.  Have seen anywhere between 8-15 birds in groups!!!  The toms are starting to strut and chase some of the jakes around.  Mostly been glassing open fields and haven't ventured into the woods yet.  Have some roosting areas already marked, just hope some goober doesn't decide to go and practice calling before the season.  Looks like alot of 2-3 yr old birds though a couple I have seen are alot older than that.

i also have been doing some road scouting and glassing seen some toms all puffed up and ready to go already was in a little traffic and seen them too late to get out of it to check out if they were bigguns or not but there all tasty

i have seen more turkeys this year than i did last year by this time. i saw about 40 in a field this past weekend and about 15 of them were strutting. i dont think they had a real hard winter this year so the population should be in good shape.

i have noticed alot more turkeys this year as well they seem to be sitting right out by the road weird but hopefully there out by my sitting tree on the 1st just dusted off my decoys and cleaned my gun this morning just a couple more weeks

[scboats81]

Hopefully we have a "dry" spring and get a good hatch.  I've been seeing turkeys everyday on the way to work.  Started to tune up all the calls and clean the gun.  Went home for lunch today sat on the porch and practiced with the slate.  Oh the music to my ears, can't wait to hear that first gobble before sunrise.
