I live in Southern Iowa and took a gobbler the first morning with my bow. Had quite a few close encounters and one miss before finally getting my second gobbler on May 12. Also took 3 gobblers with shotgun in Mississippi in March which makes my best season ever in 20 years of chasing turkeys. I also took my son out and he took a jake for his first Spring bird. I think I was more excited than he was! It's been a great year and I still hope to get my son out for a chance at his second bird this weekend.
