I spent another hour shooting from inside the blind tonight. The guy I'm hunting with in SoDak said they saw "hundreds of birds" last weekend and they were still very flocked up. He took 3 shots using the Magnus Bullheads but no kill. He said two ended up being body shots with no damage and one other guy got his bird. I can't wait to get out there.

I will be shooting Rage's so I hope I get as many opportunities.

Located 2 more groups tonight and roosted another, more strutters on my properties they really have done their spring migration in the last week and are now back to where I chased them last spring. 7 more days till I have the bow in hand. Was shooting out of my blind last night to get back in the groove also fine tuning it and was shooting extreamly well out to 70 yards.

Went out this morning and check 3 spots had birds gobbling till 6:15 or so once they flew down they were silent. 1st spot had a nice tom with 11 hens eating in the pumpkin patch second spot had a short bearded jake and 4 hens 3 spot didn't show any but we have been seeing 3 strutters around 6:30pm. Also pick up 180 acres by the rum in cambridge loaded with turkey tracks heading down there in the morning to listen for were their roosting.

You're killing me AS.

Right now I'm in Springfield, SD. I had a tom pass by me at 64yds today. A little bit out of range for my bow, but I'm excited for tomorrow. We're visiting a great spot that we hit friday night and located birds within about 10mins. It feels promising.

I've got till monday afternoon to tag out in SD before I head to Nebraska. I love the country out here. My Minnesota eyes aren't accustomed to looking or anything more than 100yds away.

Good luck powerstroke you will get a crack at one.

I went out to the cambridge land this morning and had 3 toms gobbling from 5:50 to 6:45. They are roosted on a big hill in the woods with huge pines on it. They dropped down at 6:10 and strutted on that hill top gobbling so fast I don't know how they got a breath of air rolling tripple gobbles, so after they headed out I snuck in and set my blind up about a 120 yards down the on the side hill were the road comes down should be able to get them to follow the logging road right down to instant death at 5 yards were they will meet the sharp end of the arrow wink.

Off to bed soon been up setting blinds and walking properties since 5:30

2 more days and a wake up, come on wednsday smirkwink

We fell off the first page! I had to bump us back up. I still have 2 weeks before my season. I was out checking spots this morning and i had 3 different toms all gobbling away at me so lets hope they stay active for a couple more weeks! Goodluck everybody!

Well its been pretty tough going out west. The birds aren't playing the game yet. They are still in groups and not responding to calls. I had one tom gobble his head off all the way to me without me even calling, only problem is he passed by at 64yds and kept on going. He ducked under two fences to get around me.

Nebraska has really beaten me up. I saw one tom in the ditch today and that was it. They aren't even gobbling unless they are on the roost. I roosted a couple tonight with some confidence so hopefully tomorrow morning works out. Its supposed to rain and snow the next two days and that's all the time I got left. We'll see.

Nice job archerysniper!! Thats awesome i cant wait to see pics! I was out this morning calling to birds. Had 6 different toms calling back. 4 were together when they came out into the field. Does this mean they arent in full breeding mode yet? Or do they stick together even when breeding? I still have 2 weeks so i hope they havent started completely yet. Either way ive got a lot of toms on watch and am very excited! And also congrats again Archerysniper!!

Nice bird Archerysniper! From the comments it sounds like MJ may have took the PIC? The head of the bird may be missing from the the PIC but least that ball on the left side got in the picture. grin

Again, nice bird smile

Just got home from sconnie doing a little scouting in the new richmond area and northeast from there and found some promising public land. Found some sign in one of the areas but with the nasty weather and haveing the little one with I only walked 50 yards from the truck, also ran into some big bear tracks. Didn't see any birds on the public land but around 6pm they were in the private land close by. I think tomorrow I'm going to make the circle from grantsberg to st croix and walk as much of the public land as I can. Good luck to our b season hunters and hopefully the weather will straighten out for you.

    • Sorry to hear that Duff. Will give my GSP's an extra scratch behind the ear for you guys today
    • Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
