Congrats on the turkeys fellas.

AR - I'm guessing that you're now overcome with Spring Fever! Man, there isn't much more fun to be had than going out on a nice spring morning and dialing up a nice tom.

Rybo - we're definitely on for May 6. I went out scouting twice.Last week, I saw11 bearded birds on the farm that we'll be hunting (4 were jakes). I had the varmint rig out there trying to kill some groundhogs, so I got dialed in on them at 32x - no visible double beards or anything, but a few really nice longbeards - at least two of which appear to be 3+ years old.I'll PM you my phone number and we'll arrange a meeting place. We'll be hunting near Waynesburg in Greene County. That's a straight shot down I-79.I was out there again Saturday, and there are some new hunters invading my hunting grounds (as usual)- some guys from NWTF were out there last week, supposedly guiding a youth (but I didn't see any youths around). Anyway, they got blanked and were leaving the fields by 9:30. These birds are infamous for being very hard to kill, so I'm hoping those guys abandon this place in search of more vocal turkeys and greener pastures.

Troy - congrats on the Tom - I'd imagine theyoungster was pretty excited about that whole experience. I didn't know you guys were closing on a ranch. Good luck with that - I know there's a lot of unforeseen work that pops up with such things - appointments, inspections, meetings, sign this, sign that, utilities, repairs, blah blah blah. It'll be worth it when it's over. Take a day off and get out there after a bear.
