Well on my way home from work this morning around daylight, i decided to drive through my lease <<(i know bad word

) and listen for some birds since it was in the fifty degree range this morning. They were going crazy

so i went home and expected to here them behind the house

well i was dissapointed to here nothing because i see them everyday. so into the shower i go, get out and get ready for some shut eye. I walk through the dining room and a black mass catches my eye out in the field

Its three strutters and seven hens

now im pumped. since i hand out here the most and bow hunt these critters i though i would post some pics here to get you guys stirred up

enjoy!! peace out...blood

I don't know but I think it's going to be a few days before they start strutting here in NY. Maybe I just can't see them beyond my 42 inch fence and that white stuff.

Cool Pics! Saw the same thing on the way to work yesterday morning expect there is still over a foot of snow on the ground here in WI. It looked neat big gobblers all struted out in the snow. I will have to get some pics this week hopefully.

Anyways, thanks for getting my stirred up

Was over 70 here yesterday and they were out everywhere. Forgot to put batteries in my bino's with the camera though.

Seeing a pic like that gets my heart a thumpin'. I've been trying to keep myself busy ice fishing but can't wait to have the bow, blind and camo on again. April 21st needs to hurry up!

Thanks blood, cool pics. Haven't heard the gobble here yet, haven't seen a strutter either although after work yesterday my neighbor let me know he's hearing hens in the hollow where I do my best work and the other day I was shooting my bow in my back yard and heard hens, I simply smiled!
