Thanks BT. How's things been for you in this short season so far?

RE: how are the pa turkeys doing
 

Nice bird....Good job. I'm gonna keep on getting out there. Will be better later on in the NC area of PA I like to hunt best.
If all else fails, we've got a nice pre- plucked, cleaned Butterball in the freezer. Even has the pop-up button. Little or no pressure here.

RE: how are the pa turkeys doing
 

Between family obligations anda few bad days healthwise, I havent gotten out yet:(. Maybe this weekend:)

RE: how are the pa turkeys doing
 

my two sons each got one.10 inch beard and a double beard with long one being 7 inch.
I called a huge one in that came silent.It's beard was real close to dragging on the ground.He didn't present a shot and didn't hang around long.Still time left.

I hope you're feeling better BT.

doublelung,
nice bird! I was out out in 3 different areas around Irwin on the opener and did not hear a peep or a shot. Hunted up in harrisionville(harission something), and two spots in rillton. prob won't be able to get out again either

RE: how are the pa turkeys doing
 

U may be thinking of harrison city , that is where i actually live , but on the opener i had probaly 7-10 diffferent birds going off the roost .... i hunted about 3 miles away tho from my house . but i have heard them in the morning when i get up , down behind the house in the valley gobbling..... there still out there fellas
