I'm am bouncing around waiting for it.

Yep , Been keeping my eye on a small Flock lol. Gonna take my 9 year old boy hopefully get his first one this year.. Population is down, but still a few around.

Seeing more & more toms out strutting their stuff.

All ready for opening day Just waiting for april 18th

YOU BET! Had my woodhaven out playing with it yesterday as a matter of fact!

Tags, shells, cabin and buddies all lined up just need opening day to come around is all!

Yupp. Time to move on from geese lol. Seen alot strutting their stuff lately in places I havent seen them all winter. Their starting to do some stupid things...

Heard 6 different birds gobbling first thing yesterday morning when I took the dog out . Seems early for them to be so fired up .The morning temps have been in the 20 's to about 30. And now the weatherman is predicting snow for the next 2 days . But things can change quickly this time of year .

nope, still shed season

Yes I am.anxious to get my buddies boy out on youth day again.watching a lot of nice birds.

Everyday from 8-11 when the grocery store is open.

I've killed Rio and Eastern here in Oklahoma but I'm planning a trip to Colorado this year for a Merriam.

Yep got a few states lined up and the 28ga sighted in and ready to rock.

Getting excited for it

My last few turkey hunting trips were over in about 30 minutes. Then you have to eat the dumb buzzards. It's fun, but they aint no Butterball so kind of give up.

I’m ready

2 things:

1) carry a kid or two and let them experience those "easy" gobblers.

2) find a better cook. Wild turkey breast is delicious.

3) wild turkey is way better than that crap stuffed with hormones

Taking the Smoothbore Flintah this May.....Old School...can't wait !

Dang buddy, if you got that many gobblers up yonder you got somewhere a Missouri trapper could come whack one? Seriously!

Our season opens here Sunday the 25th of March..... for archery. I plan on getting a blind out before then and putting a couple hours a day in for the next couple weekends. Sitting on a folding chair inside. I hunt with a cross bow. Not much of a shotgun hunter...although I have used one in the past. A couple times. Spring time turkey hunting is really cool if you love to call. But using a blind I have almost better luck just setting a hen decoy out and waiting. Calling very little. We can get 3 permits if we want. But one or two will do for me. Hopefully I will get to take my two small grand daughters along one day or two. Might not sit still and be quiet but that will be ok as long as we are having fun together.

This afternoon, I saw a group of wild tom turkeys strutting just outside of a neighbor down the roads turkey pen. I think there were 8 mature toms, with 4 strutting, but from that distance, some could have been hens or jakes.

I've been ready for this turkey season since I killed my Tom last season!

I am ashamed to go this year. My wife bought me a real fancy box call made in France by Pete (swift4me on this forum) for Christmas. This thing has brought in turkeys from miles around and it is just sitting on the window sill overlooking our woods. It will be downright dangerous to go into the woods and actually use it.

My wife and I shoot our limit of 5 each every year in our yard,open the door and pull the trigger. We had 50 or60 in the yard last week, hate them, avian rats, but they are decent to eat.

Right under the feeder ?.....

A friend of mine in ohio used to say he was hunting turkey when i was hunting geese. So yes, yes im ready for turkey season.

No feeder just green grass. Farmers around here hate them. They can ruin a lot of hay real fast. We get a 4month any turkey season in the fall and 1 and 1/2 month bearded turkey only season in spring. They were introduced and very few people hunt them like most of you do. We shoot them when they become a pest.

I like that that is the call I need. LOL

Not sure I will go this year it would be the first time in many many year if i don't go. I see a lot of turkeys but no strutting that I have noticed we have a lot of white stuff left to melt.

My condolences !! Too bad your fun is so brief I have had to hunt 5 days in the upper Clearwater to get mine ! Poor me !!

Them turkey make good Chislic just bread and quick fry to seal in the little moisture they have!

Not much of a Turkey hunter but I may go this spring with the shotgun.

Love time in the woods but I am not into calling so its an ambush set up.

Now that is just pure class... something we don't have here in North Idaho.

Can't wait. Would love to try for a Merriam.

I've always wanted to hunt with a traditional style gun, good luck!

heard Trump cancelled it for this year.

Yep..Been stepping all over them for a month

I stay ready for turkey season 365 I only trap to get me between spring and fall then from fall to spring!

taking fathead minnows outta one pond and putting them in a new one and couldn't figure out why the springs were all muddy.as i was leaving i noticed 60 - 70 feeding in the top where there was no snow.300 yds from the house but they could be a long ways away by May 1.

I'm headed out to Northwest Kansas to do the archery only season. I think this is my fifth year. Last year I finally tagged out on two Rio Grande turkeys. It was my first time ever tagging out, so I was really pumped.

Out there turkey season would be over in two days if you were using a shotgun. I started hunting with a multiple Grand Slam guy (John Sloan) and he told me that I needed to hunt them with a bow or crossbow. I wasn't 100% behind it due to how hard it is to get one with archery equipment. The farmers though will give you easier permission if you are using archery equipment. I think they think you won't get any.

Because I go out there so much (my in laws live there) I actually keep a bow, crossbow, an air rifle, and a prairie dog gun at my brother in laws farm. That way even during the middle of the day I'm hunting something else. I use the air rifle a lot for rabbits. The .223 for prairie dogs, and I go back and forth between my bow and my crossbow for turkeys.

When I retire in a couple years I'm moving out there. Can't wait to start trapping that area.

Leaving for Nebraska this Saturday.. Home for 2 weeks then oft to Kentucky. Home a few days and may just head to Maryland. Then its PA and NY. If me and a buddy kill our 4 each in PA and NY we might just head towards Michigan....

Same here. Got my first one last year all bye myself. Im only 14(15 during turkey season) and I have went with my dad and bro several times. Lots of fun out there.

Itching to go! Got a 222/20 gauge over under and can't wait to kill something with it.

So ready I can't stand it. I have the first 9 days of our season off work.
