I flew in Wednesday night, and we were planning an all day scout on Thursday, but about 8am they got hit with a major storm driving us out of the land. It absolutely poured all day. Good thing was my 3 day hunt Friday-Sunday was beautiful weather.

Great birds. Good luck to the rest of your hunts.

Thanks for the nice comments. I had the fortunate opportunity to be invited to hunt with one of the top Turkey hunters in Florida, who put me up, and scouted his butt off before I got there to set me up on birds. He's also a top caller, and should be in contests. All it cost me was plane fare and a hunting license. :)Next hunt in Kansas I'm actually hunting with a NWTF competitive caller who won his state open calling contest, and finished 8th on the hooter in nationals. I don't think I'm calling this hunt either. However, I'm guiding on this one, so if we don't get into birds, it's my responsibility.

Ok, Who's next!!!????? Kellyguinn, Will you be gettin after em soon? I see your season opened today. You, Mottz, and Mudchicken are up to bat! Go get em guys! Best of luck to all of ya!!

Got my sticker, and thanks for the nice comments with it. I appreciate the job you are doing as Captain on this team. Keep up the good work.

I'm gonna give it a shot at some public land about 45min from the house tomorow. Never hunted turkey there but a buddy has seen em there. My best shot will be next weekend, I have a few areas marked out again on public but I have seen tons of out there. As long as they havn't been pushed to hard and luck is on my side it ought to be all good. It will be a lot of fun either way though..

Thanks Jay. Well did a lot of driving today, checked a lot of areas where i always see birds and sign. I found absolutely nothing!!! Was thinking just the late start to spring was keeping them hidden, but now really starting to think that they just aren't there. Every one i talk to in the area is seeing hardly anything. It's been getting harder every year and this is looking to be the worste yet. I have my one spot where i put my trail cam, which i'll be checking tomorrow and a spot about an hour and a half away that i haven't checked yet. Those 2 spots are lookin to be my only hope right now. But eaven with the grim outlook I can't wait for the season! Only 11 more days!!!!! Gotta feeling the wife will really be ticked at me by the end of this one! I will spend every second I possibley can chasin em down!!

Sounds good man!!! Give em hell and good luck!!

No luck this morning. I did have a hen fly in to the decoys first thing. After that the only thing I called in was other hunters. :s6:
I did kick another hen up on the way out but that was it. 90 degrees is a bit too hot for me but i guess it could be worse.

well its been a few rough days with only hens comming in they brought a jake but he never got in range. if i dont post for a week or so its cause a death in family and i had to travel to illionis for the funeral. if can find the funds to get there .good luck team and hope my next post is big bird down
