Title: For you guys looking foward to the morning...
Post by: kbetts on April 13, 2012, 02:24:00 PM
Good luck.  Opening day for 2012 turkey will finally be upon us.  I feel sorry for the ones still waiting.  

Yesterday before lunch I took in an extra blind based on past years' experience.  I'm glad I did.  With very little sign around, I was comforted by a continuous, screaming gobble about 100 yards from where I was.....at 11 am on the dot.  Here we go.......

I'm heading to Illinois in the morning for first day on Monday. I have a new strutting gobbler I mounted 3 weeks ago where the tail goes up and down by a string going back to the blind. I had a mounted hen and gobbler out there last year. It was awesome. Good luck tomorrow guys.

Well I made it out this morning but couldn't stay long, gotta work! Didn't hear or see anything but it sure was nice to get in the woods again. Good luck to everyone else.
