Default RE: fall turkey coming: who's excited??

im pumped...went to check on my deer spot last week and kicked out 4 long beards...few weeks earlier dove hunting i saw the hens and poults on the edge of a corn field chasing the grasshoppers....i cant wait.....thats one of many flocks i have located....i like to keep my options open and put in the time to find many places to hunt and many birds....should pay off this fall i hope....my spring hunt didnt last long...hunted 2 days....second day i had longbeards on my lap....couldnt pass them up so i tagged my one bird......hope to do the same this fall....i think im going to wait for a long bear the first few times im out this fall....i cant wait...last year i was pheasant hunting and got a hen....it was a poopy day to say the least...cold..windy and spitting rain...so i went to a pine thicket looking for ringnecks bunnies and turkeys...something started flying at the top of the pine trees...looked up and it was a turkey....dropped her from the sky...my first fall bird......cant wait.....im ready....ill get out early and make sure i know the roosting sites while im deer hunting next week....im almost posative i found the roost site on my new land i have to hunt...but want to make SURE...then ill set up so they fly down on my lap..try to pick my bird out....if i cant get a shot im leaving my gear there and running at them like a mad man and scattering them all over the woods.....not many places for them to go in the new spot...fields....down a cliff to a creek surrounded by more fields...or in a little wood lot.....i think they will stay in the woodlot and should be fairly easy to get to come back in...i never busted a fall flock......i hope it works....gota try it and find out....good luck!! i cant wait!
