I'll be setting up the blind this weekend at one of our bigger properties. Been watching some birds flyup to roost the past two weeks. They seem pretty consistent.... Also, will be doing a little fishing. I'll take plenty of pics..

RE: Team 19 - The "Roost Raiders"
Guys, bad news from me. My turkey season is over and I was blanked. Due to having to work and Easter Sunday I was only able to get out twice in my season. Almost got a shot yesterday and my last morning. Saw and heard several birds, but just could not get them close enough. Saw 3 nice longbeards at full strut but none were within range. But I had a blast and plan on getting at least 2 full weeks in next year. Good luck to everyone.

I've been out 4 times so far and no gobbler in range as of yet. Had 2 hens walk right thru my dekes at 15 yards, but no long beard following those girls.
The weather hasn't been the best yet either. Kinda rainy and foggy.
I'll be back after em this weekend.
