Man what a morning...I ended up hearing 16-17 different gobblers between 3 locations that I hunt. The ole crow calls sure was getting 'em fired up. Needless to say, I'm totally pumped about tomorrow morning!!!!!!!! Me and my dad went out to the local wine company property where we planned on hunting at first light this morning and were greeted with non-stop gobbling from 5:30 until we left at 6:00
. In all...we heard between 10-12 birds on both sides of the road...with 7 or 8 of them being on the property we can hunt. I'm gonna go after the ones on the lower side of the road and he's going on the upperside after a particular mouthy bird that I've heard all 4 times that I've scouted here in the past week. I'm still trying to work up the nerve to take the blind and my new Bowtech with me...but am still undecided a this point. Anyways, it should be an exciting opening morning with a really early wake up call in order to beat a couple of other guys there. With any luck I'll be hauling 20 lbs. + of Finger Lakes gobbler back to the truck with me (I ended up with several real close calls and a tag sandwich last spring).
Here's a little scenery of where I'll be hunting tom. morning. Hopefully, I'll be able to top my little bro's 22 pounder he got there opening day last spring.
Good luck to the rest of you NY turkey hunters out there! I'd better get to bed.
