Season opened Saturday. I just haven't got out and scouted any this winter. I know where they hung out early this winter, because they were CONSTANTLY knocking over and emptying my DPs, but they move every year right before turkey season opens, and I am never able to locate them.

We have enough of them that its not a problem to locate them. There are usually about 100 in every field you look. They are waaaaaaaay too thick around here. They will follow planters and pick the seeds out right after they are put in the ground.

hmm that sounds tough.. It was the same thing over here.. Turkeys were sparse, and then one day i was thinking about turkey hunting and if we actually had some, all of a sudden they showed up! A flock would walk right through our front yard all the time! and now there is a good population around here.
Now the running joke is that whatever animal I want to hunt, that species just shows up at our house grin my dad told me never to take up moose hunting laugh laugh grin

Called in 2 Tona tonight. They hung up at 100 yds. One disappeared and the other worked his way around us on private land that we couldn't hunt and to a ridge to the rear of us. Just gobbling his head off!! He hung up on that ridge going back and forth on it for some time! I'm going to try and go again on Saturday morning. Hopefully it will produce. I'm just ready to tag my first turkey.

Finally shot my first turkey. Not a great bird. He was a young one. But still a first bird

I went for turkeys for the first time today. I saw where they had been scratching around. I did get my gun loaded but that was it. No turkeys appeared or answered the call.
