Thanks for the heads up JW!

I have an area that is normally gated the first week of the season.. Not far from the gate is where a big tom and 12 hens kept fooling me.. I saw the tom a few times but not close enough to get a good shot on him. I will be on vacation that first week and will see if I can get my blind in there and all set up for opening day. Around a mile farther up was another huge tom that I could not get close to that had 3 hens with him. They were dusting in that area so I will be watching that when I can as well.

Those cuttings here are great for turkeys if they are from the summer before hand or made during the winter. I think because we lack those farm fields in this area so they choose to find bugs and new shoots to eat. But whatever it is they go all threw them. Just that they appear and disappear very quickly in them..

Our hunting times are from 1/2 before to 1/2 hour after sunrise and sunset respectively. I have no idea why the later being so late as it is illegal to shoot any turkeys that are not on the ground.
