Here in Mass the season opens April 28 and runs until May 24. This is my second season out and I'm hopefull that I'll do pretty good. I'm hooked up with a seasoned turkey hunter, that fills all of his tags in the four states that he hunts each year.

RE: Team 11
 

All ya need is Jimmy S to check in - hope it is soon.

RE: Team 11
 

My season starts in 2 weeks so hopefully I can have a bird down and get us some points on the board...

RE: Team 11
 

Jimmy S checkin' in.

I will be hunting my home state of NH.
Our season runs from May 3 -31.

RE: Team 11

RE: Team 11
 

So, what is everyone's plans of going after those Toms? Anyone using a bow or is everyone just going with a shotgun? I'm planning on getting one with my shotgun first, then if I accomplish that going after my second with my bow. Anyone doing the same?

RE: Team 11
 

Our season here in Kansas actually starts with bow season for a week... So, I will probably try and poke a hole in one with that until gun opens.

RE: Team 11
 

Our bow season runs through all the gun seasons. So I will be getting a bow tag and then a gun tag for the last season.

RE: Team 11
 

I will be taking my two grandsons hunting on NH Youth Weekend the end of April. The weekend before the regular season opens.

Always a great time. They are waiting for their first bird but there always seem to be excitement. My 2 sons split up with the 2 boys and I am "Captain Video" for the morning. We have some good footage of turkeys in the field and should have tagged at least one bird - but that's a story for another day.;)

Hopefully we can get this season started off in the right direction.

RE: Team 11

i saw 2 strutters this mornin on myway to school....i didnt have time to take pics but man did it get me fired up!!!

RE: Team 11
 

Anyone hearing some gobbles?? I heard them during Deer season but none yet!

RE: Team 11
 

I havent heard any yet myself, but I have heard others say that they have heard some in MO, so next week I'm going to go out listening quite a bit.

RE: Team 11
 

I have been just locating hens... I hear a few calls... I have not hit my power spot yet... probably this weekend...

RE: Team 11
 

kool guys...My buddy got a Trailcam Picture of a gobbler in Full strut last week... it is awesome!

RE: Team 11
 

Anyones season open yet?
and if it has.... can we get some birds outta you?

RE: Team 11
 

Not til April 21st here, and I thank god this year. Usually I would want the season earlier, but by this time friday the river by my house(meremac river)will be up 43' out of the banks. It might be the worst flood since 1982, and we had a really big one in '93. I-44 was closed an hour after i left college for home(spring break). When i went over the bridge at 1pm it was 8ft or better from the bridge. At 4pm it was over the bridge and 44 was closed and had to be re routed. It is not going to be a good next couple of days here in Missouri.

RE: Team 11
 

Hopefully those type of flooding rains stop come a couple of months due to the poulting season.... otherwise, your gonna see a shortage of new birds

RE: Team 11
 

Youth seaon starts this saturday and i am taking my younger sister....then regular season opens on the 29th so hopefully i will be able to connect on opening mornin

could it count for our team if my sister connected on a bird? lol we would get an early jump on the competition

RE: Team 11
 

Nope, they already have the jump on us anyways....

RE: Team 11
 

well dang..lol i have high expectations this season on taking my limit so hopefully i can accomplish my goal

are the birds getting fired up in your part of the country?

RE: Team 11
 

I think we will be fine. It is supposed to crest saturday, and will probably take a week or so to go down, but most of the breeding doesnt start til the first week or two of april.

RE: Team 11
 

MO....over here in S.IL we have had bad floods..hear about the levee breaking over there??
What about Harrisburg,Ill s flood.

You should come down and bowhunt over here!

RE: Team 11
 

BACK TO THE TOP!!!!!! where we belong... Is it april yet?

RE: Team 11
 

9 Days.... Patiently waiting....

RE: Team 11
 

Well guys we were on the birds this mornin but we just couldn't seal the deal...saw a total of three gobblers and about 11 hens just wouldn't come in those extra few yards....youth season ends sunday and the regular season starts up next Sat. hopefully by next Sat. afternoon we will have some points on the board

RE: Team 11
 

Good luck...

RE: Team 11
 

good luck!!

RE: Team 11
 

I didnt hear too much about the Flood in IL. I did hear the Kaskaskia was flooded pretty bad. The levee in IL or MO? The one in Missouri was a private levee, not the main levee by Valley Park. If the main one would have broke highway 44 would have been bye bye.

I would love to Bowhunt over there with you but out of state tags are just plain rediculous![:@]Maybe when i get a full time job but as a collge student I cant swing that. The bad part is my girlfriend has property in Effingham too.

RE: Team 11
 

haha...

The prices are killing people but you can't beat Illinois hunting!!

RE: Team 11
 

well we got skunked this weekend...had some close but just couldnt finish.

man i cant wait til next saturday

RE: Team 11
 

I saw 2 of the biggest birds I've ever seen tonight... One left this big ol print behind.... all I could say was..... damn, I'M PUMPED NOW

RE: Team 11
 

Sweet i hope that rascal walks in front of your gun barrel on opening mornin! could you get any pics of the birds?

RE: Team 11
 

Nope, being that I was out in blue jeans and a carhart walkin dirt roads, I just stayed real still.....
