Phil, will they disappear come season???
Ohio late muzzleloader was this past week.
On Tuesday evening we had some crazy weather, including lightning and a tornado about ten miles away.
When that thunder started I had three birds near by gobbling their heads off. It was strange to hear thunder and gobbles while deer hunting

Jake, yes they will have moved on come the spring breeding season. The entire flock will break up as they start fighting. I should be able to get a Tom to come back though and fight with a Jake decoy. Also I have a couple of other areas that I am planning on trying this year as well..

Will be taking my wife on her first hunts this spring. She returned to China today to visit family for the next month. So I'll take advantage by getting deer scouting done. But looking forward to taking her. Drew a Wisconsin Zone 2D & an Illinois 2nd season at JEPC. Two great areas I know very well. Will pick up some more leftovers soon.

My wife has hunted the last three deer seasons with me and has taken four deer. I enjoy deer hunting with her, and we need the meat(her tags).
But I've reserved turkey season for myself.
Gotta have some alone in the woods time

Wild turkeys are my favorite hunting quarry...so hopefully, I'll be bringing out my crossbow and my ol'e wooden black laminate-stocked, Wild Turkey Federation engraved Winchester 1300, using 12 gauge, 3 inch Federal 3'rd degree, 5,6 & 7 hevi-shot loads.
