I am here and surely will hunt. However I lost some fire as I lost my buddy whom I met here doing this contest. I'll be thinking a lot of him as I am in the field.
I have one new strategy and that is using a layout blind. I have one area that I consistently see big ole tom use. Every move I make they seem to out guess me. So I am going to lay in their travel path. Might place one hen decoy.
I am getting ready as I teach turkey hunting to 1st time hunters in the State of WI. Sit in my class a half day and you go out hunting with a mentor for a free half day hunt. This is my third year teaching this. I also teach a learn to pheasant hunt program as well as Hunter Education. Been teaching hunter safety 20 plus years now.
So be safe out there....
