Man you guys who start in march have it easy. Up her in Pennsylvania we don't start until May 1st and we can only shoot one bird!!! But there is some talk of changing that. I had the itch before christmas, man am I going to drive my wife nuts in the meantime. I'll be making some homemade strikers and maybe venture into making my own slate call this year, which will probably just make want to get out hunting even more!

I broke out my calls two weeks ago!! I've been watching all my tapes, yelping and clucking away, and I won't be able to hunt a turkey until April 14th!! Thank God that I'll get to go scouting in March!!!

huntnma--I'd sweep my stand area smooth around March 15th, so that I could tell if the sign is new!!
