I finally had some time to get some turkey scouting in. The first season (draw hunt) started last weekend so I when out to see what had been hit. The first season has been real windy other than the frist morning and yesterday, so I was hoping there were a few birds for me. I woke up to a couple of inches of snow and was still storming on the mountian. That made my mind up to look for lower elevation Rio's. The frist spot I check out is a railed off area I have seen lots of birds in . It had lots of these.

I went to look at another area. It also had lots off sign and was able to glass sevaral toms. It was hard to get pics of the birds because I only had my pocket camera. Here is a couple of hens.

I was able to locate several folks of birds thanks to my scouting partner (Abby)

I went back to the frist location yesterday and called in a bird for my friends frist bird. When we were leaving there was still 3 toms gobbling in this clear cut . Boy I don't know if I can wait until May 3!!  

Be calm.......it's not that far away.....
