RE: HOW WAS THE NY OPENER!!
Really slow! I have hunted hard the past two days. I have heard only two birds gobble. That was Monday. The first was roosting with hens and they took him in the opposite direction. The other was about 8:30 AM and he had no interest in any calls. Today I heard nothing.
Saturday was the first day of Pennsylvania. I hunted all morning. I saw a red phase bear, several deer and a coon but did not see or hear a turkey. Around mid-morning I went to my son's house. I had been calling within a hundred yards of the house. When I walked up the driveway there were two long beards standing in his yard.
It can only get better from here.
