Here in central Pa. the tom's have started to make noise. I got reports of them gobbling up until 10 am yesterday. Our season comes in the 30th and I'm ready. I was invited to WV. for their opening day on the 25th so I might get an early start. I've hunted there the last two seasons and killed two long beard's so it's a good place to hunt, just have to make up my mind.

Yep- The toms are strutting their stuff here in WNY too.
I've been scouting a lot, and it's looking like a good Spring.
Tomorrow is the lottery drawing for a State Park close to where I live.

I am praying to every god I know of...

Took my son on a scouting trip tonight and we saw 2 nice jakes! I know the gobblers are there. Got my bird there last year. Good luck Hunter13, hope he is there opening day. I am headed back to Vermont this weekend for my final scouting trip before the opener.

hey devil-man, we saw a couple nice birds the other day on our way home from letchworth that are near your area. could be real produtive this yr for you at the park. 

[archbishop]

yeah and i seen even more after i dropped you off along 16 its gonna be a good first 2 weeks

[devil-man]

could be real produtive this yr for you at the park. 

I'm thinking it will be. I have never seen so much sign.
The trick is to get away from the roads, because there are a lot of visitors there.
And, of course, to be invisible.

 

[spiker2]

is that what you call stealth mode

[archbishop]

yeah but if you cant mark any turkeys(mark turkeys lol ive been fishing with you guys too long)you can sit just inside the woods and call to see how many people you can stop

[spiker2]

i'll bring the humminbird turkey finder been markin birds on the hill about half way up

[devil-man]

i'll bring the humminbird turkey finder

It wouldn't surprise me if they came out with one in the next decade. 
I think I would still do it the old fashioned way.

We are going to be camping in the park for a few weekends in May.
That way I just have to crawl out the sleeping bag and stumble down the hill about a half mile. I know- don't forget the gun! 

[archbishop]

no you gotta bring the bow not the gun
