My Turkey Time....

[HD]

Well, not really....I'm hunting season G this year, along with my daughter, a friend and his daughter. Here is my gut feeling....spring came early, I have hens on my property sitting on eggs for the last few weeks. Hunting is going to be tough!

I say that because, I have been hunting these birds for over 30 years and know the changes, and what to expect.

Anaway.....2 out of the 3 blind locations are up, and ready to rock!

Nested birds means wait it out theres some not bred yet.Tough hunt tho!! gotta move and find the loner hens normally youngsters.
 30 years?? you hunted them outside MN.?
 I've done the grandslam with shotgun I only do archery now.I need a oscaola and a Merrimans to complete that The osceloa is out of my thoughts I'll never get there to get another.Friends in NM an Colo maybe some day I can score the Merrimans. where you hunting other than 1 hour n Of the cities?
 Ever thought of a archery license and all the time you'd have to scout,setup,Move for a bird??

I also plan to hunt the G season.  I agree with HD, for some reason the toms aren't strutting much this year.  Last week my son saw a few hens and heard some gobbling but no toms came to them.  I haven't seen any on the fields over the past few weeks.  I have three blinds set and ready to go.  Also have a few in the woods spots just in case.  Good luck to those who are heading out.
