I did a little scouting today..
 

Hi all I went and did a little scouting as I was taking a blind in my hunting area to stash away until this coming Monday.. I wish Monday would of been today.. I saw lots of turkeys ( hens and Toms ) and hope the heck they will show them self to me.. I left fairly late and saw my first group/flock of turkeys at 9:30 this morning. The last group I saw was on my way out at 12:00.. In total I saw 7 different groups/flocks that made my day.. I thought it was going to be a lot harder to see any out there after our harsh winter storms and all..
Anyways here is a few pics..



Check out the hooks these 2 have chasing each other down the road..


This picture is not all that great but you can see a decent beard on this tom!! Which I saw at 11:30 I saw another huge tom with some hens right at 12:00 and I tried to get a better look but could not..

Looks like you have found them for sure. Good luck on them.

Thanks, I hope I have as they are starting to move alot right now and doing a lot of fighting..

Nice pics Phil! Good luck this Monday get one for the team!!

Good luck on Monday. Looks like your on some nice birds.

What general area are you in? Im around Augusta.

Thanks everyone..

croc2116 I am up in Washington County in the Princeton area.. Around 20 miles north of Calais..

Looks like your on your way to good season... I would definitely have a warm and fuzzy goin on... Good luck to ya

Thanks, I normally see this stuff starting up around the end of March here so I have my hopes up. Most of the time though it is not until the second week i normally have any luck.. I am hoping this year will be different..

Looks like a target rich environment. Good luck Phil. Hope they are still roaming the same place when you get turned loose on them.

Thanks and me too.. I will be right at it early Monday morning and will stay at it all day or whatever it takes..

Phil,

Best of luck up in Washinton Co. on Moday.
I'll be hunting in the town of Washington
on Saturday trying to help a ten year old
get his first bird---should be fun.

Good Luck with the young fella..There is nothing like having the young ones hunting with you. It is even better to see the smiles on their faces if they can get something.. As my young told me one his last youth hunts for deer.. " This year I am the provider "... LOL


I can hardly wait for my grandson to go with me in 3 more years.. Up this way we still have some snow hanging around by the woods right now. I am hoping that a little bit of green will start growing to help keep the birds around where I saw them earlier..

Phil,

Thanks, snow gone here and things are beginning to
green up---starting to see more birds out in the
fields and gobbling is picking up steam.

That is exactly what I am hoping will happen on Monday.. I am thinking it will be a great week of hunting.. If nothing else it will be a great week of not working..
