im too excited....luckily i just took a 2hr nap...because i know ill get MAYBE 2-3hrs of sleep tonite tops...im kinda sceptical at the spot i picked to start my opener...2yrs ago i hunted there ONE morning in the first week and rolled a nice longbeard at flydown..he hit the ground and got hit with a load of 4s...but they logged some of it last spring....i know the birds are there SOMEWHERE...but not exzactly sure...so im expecting a workout and a run around....there wasnt much sign where they normally feed and roost....thats the spot they opened up mostly..BUT i did kick a lone bird off the roost...maybe 2...the first time it took out flying HARD....the next one was 100yds away....i kinda doubt it could be the same bird...the first one took out HARD and didnt slow down...i dont see how it landed 100yds away flying that hard....but either way there was atleast one....but theres alot of woods back there...only problem is both hillsides are pretty vertical most of the way...some of its a cliff....i know the flock is back there someplace....just gota find them.....i hope i can hear them sounding off from my ridge....i know the woods good enough to get a decint plan quick...but it all depends where they are...2yrs ago was awesome...2 toms roosted together....going NUTS....both flew down within range...i seen a beard hanging on one and let er rip....who knows his buddy could been bigger..but it was my second bird and bigger then the year before....but i picked that spot because i will be SHOCKED to see another hunter...i dont miss the days of hearing every OWL CROW COYOTE AND peacock in the state all in one spot lol.....good luck guys.....be safe out there....hopefully we got a few stories and pics tomarrow!! im going to wake up and STRETCH lol...that hill is a SERIOUS hill.....i found out i had exercise enduced asthma on that hill coon hunting lol.....
