Got some bad/good news for my Alabama trip. My dates off were wrong, and we had to move it back two weeks from March 20-23 to April 3-6. Sucks I have two extra weeks to wait, and that weekend in April I was SUPPOSED to go to our local NWTF Jakes hunt and guide for one of the kid hunters...but can't now. They have PLENTY of guys to help out though, so no kid will be without.

On the flip side, waiting two weeks into spring should GREATLY increase their call receptiveness. After the past two seasons, I have learned mid March is good to get out early, but a much harder time to call birds in than April-May. These birds are unhunted by anyone but me, so the hunting pressure is a nonfactor until I arrive. I can't WAIT to head down.

Still debating a TN trip on their opener, just can't convince myself one weekend is worth a $175 tag, when I don't have that much money to begin with.

Looks like still only KY and AL for me. haven't began spring scouting yet, but I will be doing some shedding/turkey scouting over the next week since it is spring break from college...I still have classes, so I couldn't head south for the beaches.


Nice birds Buck, once the flocks break up here in a month or so you should be set.
