BTW Glad you found your blind! Guess I need to get over and take 2 of mine down, where my bud says he would rather see the birds pecking instead of on the plate. Not a problem though, since I Have IMB ground to hunt also.

Well boys...still two more weeks for me here in NY, hows the rest of ya'lls seasons goin??

Come Friday I'll be one week away from my opener, (and WoodDucks).

I bought some new poles for my found blind, and a new turkey choke; I'm looking forward to patterning it. I still need to book a few days off work in May, probably near the end of the month so the birds have some time to spread out from there winter area.

How about it guys, who's all hunting already?

Finally starting to see some birds in my area. The snow is mostly gone and Thankfully I am seeing some birds move into my area. I think I shall go out and listen for some gobbling on the weekend. Only 1 week to go and my 12 Yr old son is getiing excited to shoot his first..

Only two weeks left in my season here. Now that the job hunt seems to be over, I'll be back in the woods more. Seems like my season will be over before some of you guys get yours started....so I feel better that I at least got us going on the the board with a decent score, all I was hoping for another jake this year.

Monday, April 21th, my 5 day slot starts in Minnesota. Will keep you posted!

Starts the 21st here in Missouri.

Off I go to scout two farms and pattern my new choke.
I'll be hunting next weekend.

where did you go for the new poles for your blind????

Bass Pro has replacement poles in the camping section.
When I laid them out yesterday I found that they were too long with 4 sections, and too short with 3 sections, so I used a combination a of new sections and old shorter sections from the one broken pole I found with my blind.
The blind is up now, and I did see a small flock with a few Toms on the main farm I hunt
