I captured some good trail cam photos this morning of turkeys on one of my food plots. A dandy gobbler showed up for the first time this spring with some lady friends, including a bearded hen. Hope he's still around in a month when I can hunt him.

Nice!
Nice! I hope you get him.

Cool pics! My buddy shot a bearded hen a couple years ago. I also saw a big tom all strutted up this afternoon with a group of hens. Really got the fever burning! Lol
Nice pics Tom! I hope you get him! I just got back from a little drive and saw a lot of turkeys. I'll be out listening for gobbling in the morning!
those are award winning pictures for sure. Great stuff!
Nice Pics.
6 more days until I get out and hunt. The anticipation is driving me nuts!
To cool!
Great photos! I'm going to be hunting those things real soon myself.... I'm jazzed!
Whats your food plot consist of? I need some ideas...
Great pics Tom. Good luck to you when the season starts.
Beautiful pics! Kentucky's youth season opens tomorrow...hoping to see one of those big boys so my son can bag his first bird!!
Great Pics Tom, Good luck this spring.
Nice! We've got 27 day to go here, not that I'm counting. Thanks for sharing the pics, and good luck. :thumbsup:

Cool pics! Can you shoot bearded hens in the spring in WI? I've always wanted to get one. Missed one a few years ago and haven't had a chance at another one yet. Good luck this year.
We have 24 days left here in WV, which most everyone agrees is way to late. Kentucky borders us and their season comes in a few days.
Nice pics. Good luck.

Sam,any bearded turkey is legal in Wi. in the spring! My son shot a bearded hen a few years ago.
I just finished a two night seminar on turkey hunting put on by NWTF and NCWRC, no doubt making me an expert. While I was washing breakfast dishes today, I noticed a lone hen working her way up the driveway, so I snuck out the kitchen door as soon as her head was behind a boulder, snuck up to the woodpile next to the driveway and crawled along the wood pile, keeping out of sight, until she walked past me 8 feet away. It will probably be my last Close Encounter of the Turk-ey kind until after the season ends in early-May.
