I can not wait...I can hear em goblin all ready. my lease on 300 acres this year is loaded with turkey saw a number of large flocks every time I was out deer hunting this past season..I just hope the heavy snow fall has not taken it's toll on them.

I just bought a box of #4 shot yesterday. I have a good size piece of land to hunt on and last year it was covered up with turkeys. Only problem is that the coyote population has grown quite large and may have reduced the number of turkeys this year. We shoot every coyote every chance we get but it seems like for every 1 you shoot, 2 take it's place.

This weekend is opening day and I gotta work.
I'm suppose to go the following weekend.
I got a buddy who is a "champ" at calling.
I'm hoping to get my hunt on video.

I'm in i got 2 last year the first two days. Turkey hunting is sorta easy where i hunt. Nobody else hunts them and there is alot of them. My new goal for this year is to wack one with my bow. I have had a few shots during deer season just to see the feathers fly and the turkeys run away unscathed. They are alot smaller than they look lol. My season opens the first of may, what about you guys? I'm still after that longbeard whose beard drags on the ground. I've had one chance last year during bow season, and he busted me drawing. It's real tough, as i don't bowhunt from a treestand. The guy i hunt with is getting up there in years and tree stands and him just don't agree. Since it's his land, i feel like i shouldn't have anymore of an advantage than him, so i hunt from the ground. I usually make my blinds though i do own a pop up or two. The turkeys roost in the same place every year, so i'm gonna set up the pop up right where they enter the field. Hopefully with some luck, i can get one with my bow. I'm gonna shoot the first one with the winchester though, just to make certain i have one for dinner. Wish i could use an airrifle.

as for the coyote problem we have the same as well as foxs overwhelming numbers and i sure hope they havn't disrupted the birds on our piece as many as i saw last season it should be a good year.... i have taken one with a bow but was pure luck the season comes in during reagular deer season for a week here and got a shot off several years ago at a gobbler the only turkey i have ever brought home...i have broke out my calls and have been warming up i also got a new hybrid leafy/gillie suite for cristmas that i can not wait to try...will start out with the 12 gauge.
