You got it Bowfin. These guys know a winner when they see one, and they are seeing us BIG TIME! But, as much as I hate to say it, I've been a pretty easy target. AS is right, I DO miss a lot. They just don't know that's my way of catch and release while waiting for that big one.

bowfin First year I entered this contest my team was call TTT Turkey Trash Talkers I guess its still kinda stuck with me Don knows its all in fun ... We know He is the master when it comes to turkey hunting

[DonBo]

Like they say: "If ya ain't having fun, ya ain't doin' it right".

Now, let's get down to takin' some big toms down!

[DonBo]

Just snagged another metro property last night. 20 acres not far from one of my favorite spots already secured. Think I'll be able to deer hunt here as well. It's one of those "Will you please come kill my turkeys?" spots.

Hopefully I'll be able to check it out a bit better this weekend.

18 days and counting....

Always happy to help.

Sat the new 80 acre spot north of Stillwater this morning. Wow, big flock! Heard at LEAST 6 or 8 toms. Watched a bunch fly onto the neighbors property, but many stayed on my side. I'm guessing there were somewhere between 15 and 20 birds in this group. It's the first time I've ever spent any time looking/listening at this spot, and man am I pumped!

16 days.

Here's a couple photos from Saturday:

Oh yeah, I'm getting excited.

14 days.

[Bowfin]

Nice pics - Hopefully they will still be looking for hens come May. Seems like things are starting early this year.

I've notice in my first 2 years of hunting corn stubble (last years corn)are what they key in on over fallow, bean or other crop fields. Has anyone else found that to be true?

[DonBo]

I think you're right, corn stubble has always been an early season draw. I doubt if there will be much left in the next couple weeks as most is getting plowed under right about now. With everything greening so early, I expect a switch to clover and winter wheat soon.

Many of the birds I heard Saturday spent a lot of time in the pine plantation. I suspect they were feeding on pine nuts. I've seen them do this before, this time of year.

[CFD200]

Sweet pics. Really gets a guy pumped up.

[DonBo]

How about the rest of you guys? Anyone been out scouting, or looking around? Seeing anything in your area to get excited about? For most of us, only 13 days left.

[Cheetah]

I've been out scouting... Trying to find DonBo's spot...

He mentioned it.

[mrklean]

great pics don, i saw some birds strutting out in Cali last week almost got in an accident on the freeway cause i kept looking at them instead of the road.

[DonBo]

More good news. Dad talked to two of the landowners yesterday. One said he's been seeing a big flock in his pasture pretty regularly. The other said there was 4 toms strutting in her yard most of the day on Sunday. Gotta love those reports.
