I go to Tenn. for a week or two every year. I'll be there opening weekend and for a few days that week. One of the guys I talked to said there is some gobbling going on. I hunt close to Memphis and in Hardeman County. I do most of my hunting home on my land in LA. They are gobbling their heads off on my place in LA. right now. It opens the 24th here and the 31st in Tenn. Where you hunting in Tenn.?

i'll be about an hour west of nashville, good to hear that things are heating up, ive got the countdown goin now 2 weeks one day till i leave!!

It's team #1 for a reason. I hunt in Ky. behind my house. Been hunting a few years, I'll be good for two big tom's opening weekend, I have three days off work, think I'll try taking my second one with my bow this year.

Got one forthe home teamthis afternoon! Not a monster by any means, but he's a pretty good 2 year old bird, especially for opening day in an afternoonrain storm. 9 1/4 inch beard, 7/8 inch spurs, 17 lb 4 oz......he won't be our contest winner that's for sure. Since it was raining, I busted up a flock in a food plot and set up and waited on 'em to come back out. I knew if it kept raining they would come, and they didn't disappoint me. Ol' tom strutted right down the road across the food plot to the hens that were 15 yards in front of me. Fun hunt! I'm goin for number 2 tomorrow deep in the backwoods, maybe he'll gobble for me in the morning. Good luck to the rest of the team!

Way to go SouthernStrut! Sounds like a great hunt! Congrats!

way to start the year out southernstrut!! you guys in the south are so lucky i have over a month before my season starts, i think i need to start thinking of going out of state sometime. birds are gobblin and stuttin everywhere here but still in big flocks they will bust up in about 2-3 weeks then it gets exciting.

Congratulation Southernstrut!! Nice Job!!

Congrats southernstrut!! We in first place right now, lets keep it that way.

Has anyone thought of a team name?

Congrats SouthernStrut56!!! Looks like you got us off to a great start. I was just wondering, did you use the decoy that you made? If you did, that would be pretty cool.

Its still a month and a half beforeI can hunt, so I'm stuck here thinkin about getting out and helpin the team, not to mention a nice turkey dinner or 3 or 4... Anybody have any suggestions for a team name? Its hard to think of something that hasn't been used before, but I'm sure we can come up with something original if we think about it.couple of suggestons:
Limbhangers
Wattle Whackers
Spur Stalkers

Lets hear what you guys have!
