Just wanted to say good luck with the season starting tomorrow.

I hope everyone has a safe and memorable hunt with those Toms spitting a drumming in your face. Just remember it's not the gobbler it's the gobble,for the first timers out their they are like nothing you have hunted before they will tie you in knots and have you ready to quit some times and then it can change in a second.

Good luck be safe and make sure of your target. I cant wait for the pictures to start rolling in tomorrow.

Haven't been online in a while but scored last Wed on a 23lb with 1" hooks and 9.5" beard - should have pics soon.

Being older for sure and maybe wiser I stayed in bed and listened to it rain. Went out late morning and called one in right away but couldn't seal the deal. Had a pair show mild interest but never came in range. Couple hours later after a move I believe one of the pair made a fatal mistake.

Seems like hit and miss depending on who you talk to - overall numbers are down around here.

My pops heads out tomorrow - he went out yesterday morning to listen and heard 3 different birds in the area.

Good luck to all who will be heading out yet!

Went out to scout last night and had to cut it short as I kept running into strutting toms. Saw 6 in about 15 minutes and decided to back out before I bumped too many. I still have a week and a half to wait.

Getting excited to hunt Saturday! Alot of turkeys around and hopefully I can call a big tom in! Where my cabin is, I hear them in the morning when the crows are calling and they are in the woods within a hundred yards from me. Too bad it's next to a bunch of lake cabins as this would be a slam dunk for a gobbler! grin

    • 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?
