Less than a week to go!!!
I cant wait to get out there in the woods early in the morning and hear that sound I've been waiting to hear for quit some time now.....Gobble..Gobble..Gobble
I will be filming our first turkey hunt of the year along with The Deer Hunter on opening day. Then I hope to bag one the next!

After today's youth hunt I am stoked!  The next four days, however, are going to take forever to pass and get to the opener. I still can't believe that for youth day today I only saw 2 other cars on over 4,000 acres of public property. Even if you have to search for a kid to take it's worth it just for the scouting and an advance day of seeing what the birds are doing!!! |

Well, I couldn't connect on a bird yesterday. Woke up at 4:15 to get to my friend's property at 5:15. He dropped off a couple guys in one spot (he's got a crapload of acres; technical term there) and took me to another. On the way to my spot, we bumped a lone bird but it didn't sound like it went far so I stayed there and set up. He kept going along the road, but I wasn't sure how far. At sunrise I heard some gobbling but nothing much went on until 10 or so. At 10, it started drizzling and the birds were going off. I had 3 within 200 yards or so. I got one to commit, but he hung up at 70 yards out and wouldn't budge for nothing. I tried shutting up for 30 minutes or so and he just kept gobbling his head off. I tried moving to a different spot a little further over, nothing. I got aggressive with the calling, used different calls, nothing. It was like this for 2 hours until I left. So, couldn't get a bird, but had a blast and I'm really ready for the MD season.

Sounds like alot of action, and 90% of my hunts last year. Sounds like a FUN morning all in all.
