RE: Team #12 Thread Wingbone Warriors
The Illinois season (northern zone)starts Monday the 13th. I will be out for a few hours that morning. Hopefully, it only takes a few minutes. The turkeys were gobbling out my back door last Saturday. They're pumped and so am I. Guess I better get out the calls and pattern the gun.
I hope mother nature gets this crappy weather out of her system and Monday turns out to be warm and bright. I'll reportonmy hunt come Monday.

RE: Team #12 Thread Wingbone Warriors
Took the day off from my part time job to do some scouting and found alot of turkey sign everywhere I walked.
Tracks, scratchings, droppings and wing featers all over the woods I hunt, now I know where their roosting and where they go to feed.
I even found a spot where some toms have been struting, I'm gonna set up a ground blind between a travel route they take and ambush them as they head for the lake once they fly down from the pines.
It was a real good day weather wise to be out and what little snow was left made it easier to track them, I just can't wait for the 27th to get here.
