Snapper those are good birds for any hunter.
Went back to public land today, with out even seeing or hearing a bird.
Biologist told us about some poachers getting busted in our area. Also checked the cameras and had coyotes and bobcats but no turkeys.
Going back out tomorrow, not sure what to expect, the weather guys are calling for storms,rain and winds and Sunday possible tornadoes.
Its a quota hunt so you have to go when you are drawn for.

I went out today by myself. Windy, windy, windy.
Not a peep.
my buddy had a bird located yesterday, so I walked back about 3/4 of a mile and waited for it to get light. No gobbles, I set up and called until 11:00, then headed out. It was so windy the birds would have had to be sitting on my lap to hear my calling.
They did not check out a bird this whole quota hunt. That is why they call it hunting and not killing.
No scheduled hunts for 2 weeks, and then I have my best chance of the year. Still public land but way better and less people.
Its gonna be a long 2 weeks.

I am sorry to here about your luck John.. But, who knows what tomorrow will bring?? Keeping at them is the only way to get one..
Good Luck to you as well Mottz, I hope you get to nail one as well. I hope everyone on our team gets one tagged including me when my season opens up.. I did see a big tom this morning crossing the road just across from my 2 acre property line,,, ( This just an empty section of property 6 miles out from my residence..) Nice long beard and all. I will have to check around that area once my season gets closer..
Again Good Luck to all of you!!

Opening day is today and I'm glad I didn't take off work to go. Only 29 degrees with 30 mph winds doesn't make it the best weather to sit in. But I did see some out in a field on the drive back into town. Fever is getting close!

Way to cold in MO. Still spitting snow here. I have yet to see a bird strut in a field and haven't heard a gobble yet. Our youth season is less than 2 weeks away. Atleast my cuddebacks are showing me they are thinking about it.
