Alright guys, some seasons started already, some are about to begin.  Here in NY, we dont kick off til May 1st.  I want to hear all the stories....misses...success....almosts.....set ups....all of it.  I missed all of 2010 because my hand was in a cast, 2011 was a bit of a wash due to domestic problems. So, I'm itchen to get out there this season.  So...in the mean time, I want to hear everything!

I will be in Kansas Monday afternoon for a few days of easters with KSTRAPPER. I have been getting pictures from him showing all the struting birds. Have a sinew backed osage with copperheads, an osage selfbow and a Black Widow recurve loaded and ready to go.
I will keep you posted after the hunt. Then its off to Wyoming the 15th with Roger Fulton to hunt some of my antelope country for Merriums.
Mike

Thats great Mike.  Give Roger My regards, I'll be with him and Toby in Maine in August.  good Luck!

I am set up on a sandy road between pines stands in mid-Florida waiting on an Osceola gobbler to show. I have a jake and 2 hens out as my decoy bait. I have had 2 hens in bow range but no legal birds yet. Have three days to hunt with tarponut. Birds are here. Just need one foolhardy enough to take a 700 gr fir arra  

Sean,  Glad you have come out of the cave. I was beginning to think you were a Troglodyte.

Glad things are healed up enough all over to be able to get out to the woods again.  I have a bow waiting for you, lets get together!

Having been running past some horse ranches south of my house and getting birds to gobble off the roost.  Had limited permission to be on one ranch last year, but this year, it's unlimited access!  Tomorrow baby...Go Time!

Our season starts April 6th....if i had to wait till May it would drive me nuts!!!

I had a cheap wally world hen so i set her up in the back yard and have been shooting her every day .....i am ate up with it!!!

Now if the dang season would just start.....  

Hope to have something to report tomorrow    

I can't wait for tomarrow I will be out early and try and fill a tag got a new spot to try

Our season starts April 14th. I can't wait to get out there!

Well,thankfully the Nebraska season started already,to kick things off this year my little girl dropped one in the first hour,of the first day,with her first shot.....oh,and this was her first hunt(insert proud papa moment here).She shoots a recurve well,but opted for her training wheels this time.I didn't argue,she will come fully to the dark side when she is ready,i would rather have a clean kill and happy 12 year old girl than dissapointment.And now i have a totaly hooked hunting partner.

All you.Kansas guys have to take us along for the hunt tomorrow I wanted to get back out there but it is not going to work out for me right now.

         

I'm leaving tomorrow to see if I can put a tag on a big ol' Eastern and a hog or two.

15 Days out and counting!

Heading out here in about 35 mins here in Tenn to hopefully take my first turkey with my recurve, got a great set up so if the turkeys have read the script should be a hunt to remember, check back in later. Good luck to everyone

Jon,

That is GREAT  

Can't wait to add my 2 cents to this thread, but for now will cool my heels waiting for my time.  1st WI tag opens April 11, then to Nebraska later in the month.  Then another WI tag in May.  I'll get my fill  

Whip, Nebraska sounds great! It is 90 deg here today    

If this keeps up....i might have to ditch the ghillie and just wear camo paint and a  loin cloth!!!    

Good Luck everyone!!  I can't wait to hear about everyones hunt.

Hey Charlie, Yeah, I coming around alittle.  We'll have to hook up soon.  Saturdays are easier for em to get off from work than Sundays.
