So when are y'all going to get some birds on the board.... ?
That Danged gobbler won ... I only had three days to get him and we all know what happened there, yesterday he was like 200 yds away and a hen took him away... I did go after him but never saw him, he's a tough one... I needed one or maybe two more days and he would be dead...oh well.

Good luck Ma and I hope it is a big one too. Montana opens April 12 and I found a ranch overrun with turkeys not to far from home. :thumbup:

It's not for lack of trying. I've hunted 8 days thus far and didn't hear my first gobble until this past Sunday.

I hunted five days on the Homosassa Special Opportunity hunt. Didnt hear or see a single turkey until the fifth day when I bumped a hen. Normally the success rate is upwards of 75% on that hunt and among five hunters no longbeards were killed during the opening week. The second week hunt is going on now and from what I understand there has been only one longbeard killed as of today. Two of the five hunters got fed up and left for home already.

Been hunting public land since the Homosassa hunt, with all the rain its made it nearly impossible to get on the gobblers without being busted. Really frustrating season thus far. The gobblers arent really fired up in my opinion and I'm still seeing Bachelor groups in the fields.

They're all broke up here, gobbling almost every morning until flydown and then a couple of times but they're gobbling....God willing I'll be getting # 2 Sunday....if not well I'll have fun trying ;)

It'll come together sooner or later. I'll keep laying down shoe leather until it does.

If FL doesnt work out there will be hell to pay when I get to Nebraska and Kansas later this month... :evil:
