Shoulda got out OJ, birds were hot this morning, i know 4 guys that killed toms before 730 this mornin...... Our 1st "spring" turkey season opened this morning, dad was the only one who had the 1st season license, i've been scouting 2 toms for em the past 1.5 weeks and was ready to finally put the hammer down on those birds! Got out of the truck at 620 am and had about an inch of snow on the ground and still snowing like crazy, was a little worried that it would shut the birds off but thankfully we found a couple hot toms in this cold weather! Had em gobbling in his tree at 645 am, so we settup about 80 yrds from the roost, got all cituated and I made 1 call on my Bully's custom slate call and down he came, gobbled 4 times on the ground getting closer each time, finally his 4th gobble and he was within 40 yrds on the field edge, I look over to see if I can find him and he is running down the field edge right to dad's lap, bird stopped at 15 yrds and dad gave em the lead treatment. the whole hunt took about 15 minutes... He's not a very big bird but still pretty nice, 10"beard, 1/2" spurs, and 21 lbs. Now I get to sit around and wait for mine and my GF's season to open up so I can go put the smoke to a couple other birds i've been watchin! Here are a couple pics, notice the snow during this "spring" turkey hunt!! haha  not what you expect to see April 18 opening morning of turkey season...  me and dad with the bird. Get out there and start getting some birds guys!! Good luck to you all! |

Didnt think id need it splash!! It wasnt snowing or anything when we got up this morning, but an hour later and it was really coming down!! Plus it was a heavy wet snow, so it stuck to our clothing quite well!
