I HAVE KILLED BIRDS ON OPENING DAY 4 OR 5 TIMES IN THE LAST 15 YEARS OR SO OF HUNTING TURKEYS. HERE IN SOUTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA THEY CHANGED OUR SEASON TO JUST ONE BIRD ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO, (SAID OUR TURKEYS WERE AT AN ALL TIME LOW). ANYWAY ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO I KILLED A NICE TOM ON THE FIRST DAY AND IT WAS SUCH A LET DOWN!! AFTER ALL THE SCOUTING AND ALL THE ANTICIPATION OF WANTING TO GET INTO THE WOODS TO HUNT I FELT LIKE I WAS SHORT CHANGED. BUT THE NEXT YEAR IT WAS THE LAST DAY OF SEASON BEFORE I CONNECTED WITH A NICE TOM. MUST HAVE WALKED A HUNDRED MILES, HEARD LOTS OF BIRDS AND WORKED AT LEAST A DOZEN. "MAN WAS I TIRED" LAST YEAR I KILLED THE LARGEST BIRD I HAVE EVER KILLED, IT WAS ON THE FIRST DAY OF SEASON IT WEIGHTED 25LBS HAD A 12 INCH BEARD AND 1 1/2INCH
SPURS. AFTER THAT I CALLED IN THREE OTHER BIRDS FOR FRIENDS, SO MAY SEASON WASN'T OVER THE FIRST DAY.
NOW THEY SAY THAT WE HAVE MORE TURKEYS THAN EVER BEFORE, SO THAY HAVE GIVEN US 2 BIRDS FOR S.E. OK. HOPE I CAN FILL BOTH TAGS??????

GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF US!!!!!!

I was wondering how successful everyone usually is on opening day.I think only about 3 years have I killed a bird on opening day.Although Ive been on several other opening day hunts where my buddies killed a turkey...
