How bout double-bearded strutters, or any of the previous mentioned names work. Huntnteen you should just pick one bc it honestly wont matter what the name is bc by the end of the season everyone will know us as the champions haha...
I went out scouting this morning and the birds weren't too vocal, but i ended up sitting 75 yards from where they were roosted. The hens were yelping up a storm and the toms only gobbled about 5 times each (which is a low amount for my area). All in all i had 3 big toms fly down in front of me then head off towards the hens and i had another tom fly down on my other side, but i never saw him. The season is too far away and needs to get here so i can lay the hammer down on these guys!!!!!!

Sorry I swear I checked in already...but apparently not! Checkin in now, I'll be hunting Wisconsin Rapids, WI the second to last weekend in April...I think I know where they're roosting now unlike last year so hopefully I can seal the deal on one...it'd be my first if I do so wish me luck!

I haven't turkey hunted much in the past. But, when I did I had a good time and enjoyed it quite a bit. I have killed 2 hens and 3 jakes over the short amount of time I have been hunting turkeys. I really want to take my first nice Tom this year and I have a couple of great spots I will be hunting back and forth this spring. I should have the first couple of days off so hopefully I will be able to nail one. Our season starts April 19th.

sounds good huntnteen.
buckmaster, I'm originally from Wisconsin, so I'm familiar with the Stevens Point area. I'm originally from Potosi, WI...which is in the SW corner of the state, about 10 minutes south of Platteville, or about an hour south of Madison. My job and Iowa whitetails took me another 30 minutes south across the border into Iowa...lol
I see we have two cheeseheads from WI. natimage, I have a sister from the Milwaukee area. Menomonee Falls to be exact. And a brother in Johnson Creek.
As far as turkeys, I will be using my bow from April 12-28, then a shotgun from the 29-May 16. Lots of time to hunt turkeys.

Yeah i got 4 weeks of hunting here bc i am buying 4 tags haha.. I know it seems like a lot, but seeing as i have many different pieces of land that i can hunt i don't think ill make too big of an impact.. And i doubt ill fill all 4, im just hoping for 1. lol. My season starts april 28th, but ill be calling birds for my uncle and dad the two weeks before so ill be getting my turkey hunting fix for the year lol
