[Gordie]

So everyone must be scouting with weather like this

[DonBo]

This is the calm before the storm. Wait another week or so and this'll be one of the hotest forums going.

[Cooter]

Talked to my uncle yesterday and he said they've been gobbling like crazy.

I didn't get drawn this year in MN and we cancelled our Black Hills trip earlier.

I'm staying home this April to work on my house. Hopefully it will be done by fishing opener.

I could have picked up a surplus tag for my neighbors 60 acres and stayed close to home but this year they decided to draw - and drew for all 5 of them!

I loaned him my turkey vest/decoys/calls. Now I have to get over there this weekend and teach him how to use em.

Cant wait! been scoutin a couple a times , lotsa gobblin already ! they are still are all together whats some of the favorite calls that are used ?it seems like ya can yelp anytime, but when they are still in winter flocks its tough to move em with just yelps ,the last 2 years opening day weve connected using fighting purrs the whole flock comes in to kick some feathers !you see hens comin sit tight the boys wont be far behind!

I've got the itch bad now. Nearly took off work today and drove to NE to hunt 2 days and be back for Easter on Sunday! Wife talked me out of that. I was able to watch a strutter with 4 hens behind the house this morning at least to keep me at bay. I still have a full month to wait.

I finally saw a big group with some strutters yesterday and saw my first tom in what had been a few weeks on Wednesday. I was crossing a low spot when a gobbler was booking it across the road, beard swinging as he trotted...the funny thing? Waylon Jennings was singing "Looking for love in all the wrong places" right when he crossed!

Wanderer did you try to buy an over the counter tag thats what I did nothing better than a cast and blast weekend My seasons on the opener of fishing

Hey Elwood,

Was that a trick question posting in my quote?

We used to draw for the season that landed on opening weekend since it seemed like a sure thing. It was for quite a while.

We started having conflicts with another group that could hunt the same property AND I had a renewed interest in the walleye opener so we bumped up to the earlier seasons.

Last year was the second season and I tagged out on the afternoon of my first day. My current avatar actually.

And all my turkey seasons have been cast and blast! The farm we hunt on the SE has a good trout stream about 100 feet from where we set up our camper plus we're not far from the Root River.

Back in the day of the Noon closure we would hunt, eat lunch, nap, fish, then put birds to bed. Lately it's been hunt, eat brunch, fish, eat linner (lunch/dinner), hunt, sleep.

Good luck in May, dude!

[Gordie]

It was such a trick question I didnt even catch it opps

gotta love cast and blast Oh and I think I woulda called it dunch linner thats a good one

[Scott M]

The boys were out today, even in the rain. Gobble gobble.

[Borch]

Lots of strutting going on today!

[harvey lee]

The last few days I have been out in the country, I have seen quite a few Toms strutting.

Gets the blood boiling even though I did not apply for a tag this year.
