TomBow. I have tried to e-mail you several times, but it keeps coming back as "undeliverable" or "unknown host" You might want to check with your e-mail provider. I'll try to send again later. Jim

Allrighty Turkey-heads (not meant to be an insult!)
Tell us what the birds have been doing on your hunts: When did you hunt, where, what happened? I'm looking for some inside info because my wife and I start our hunt on Friday. I haven't been scouting since before the season started (April 16) because I've been respecting the other turkey hunters by not traipsing around and potentially messing up their hunts. This has left me with little info on the current state of the gobblers so any info you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Best of Luck to all and hope fishin' opener filled your freezer with filets and your heads with good memories!

Thanks,
TomBow

Hens are going to nest and the Gobblers are still looking for love.

Should be good hunting for you and your wife. Stick around until at least noon as the gobblers will be even more receptive to calling by midmorning.

Good Luck!

Thanks Borch! We will be hunting full days (till 5PM) if necessary until we both have birds. I've been lucky enough to get tags for the same period 3 yrs in a row so the birds are doing about the same as last year. Should be just fine!

    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
    • We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity. 
    • I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
