    Our opener is last week of April. Haven't even scouted yet. I pretty much know where they will be.

    Now quit posting and go give that Tom a dirt nap. :rootintootin:

    Good luck! I hunted turkey once, and got a jake. The hunt was a blast, but I just don't care for the taste of turkey, so I never went again.

    I've never turkey hunted. We've got them all over here, even in my backyard the other day.

    Good luck!

    Didn't smash one, had 2 nice birds coming in, shifted a hair to get ready for them and a hen I hadn't seen 30 yards to my left spotted me and that was that. I had to call my tax guy at 9 am. So called it early. I guess I will give it another try tomorrow.

    Our opener was yesterday. Doubled up on jakes with a buddy. I normally don't shoot jakes, but it was our first double ever. On film. We were done before 7am. Here's my bird. Probably weighed around 14lbs. My luck, it was a double beard...

    Opened here yesterday. Friend that does not hunt asked for a bird to cook. So I gave him this Jake to make turkey pies. :)
