Great hunt csgriz, I read your story before, didn't realize you were on my team! NC, WAY TO GO! Jake or not, Congrats on your first! I've still got 2 weeks to go before I can hit the woods. Just started scouting a little, found some potential areas in RI. I just scored a 123 acre piece of property in CT, nobody else turkey hunts there. The landowner said a neighbor moved in last year and shoots some, but he is NOT supposed to be hunting on this property. I got the impression that no permission might not stop this guy tho, so we'll see how that goes. I'm gonna go check out the property on Friday. Funny thing, the guy didn't want me to deer hunt there because of lack of access and he has a couple buddys that hunt there. He said there is no shortage of deer tho. He says he limits who can hunt there and turns down most people that ask. I told him I bowhunt only in CT, and won't be interested in gun hunting, he said well, thats a different story! He said only one other guy bowhunts there, and he hasn't been ina while. Score 2 for me! The other guy who bowhunts there and the landowner are like family....of sorts. The other bowhunter's daughter bred her dog and I have one of the puppies. The landowner has my dog's sister, lol.
