Gobbler Nation

Was recently notified that my two day quota hunt on a Federally owned/state managed WMA has been canceled due to the Covid-19. My priority points plus an additional point for this year have been reinstated. I'm leaving tonight to act as the non-hunting/guide/caller for a friend on another WMA Quota Hunt. We scouted the area last week and located @ 22 gobbling turkeys and it looks like we're going to have great weather conditions. My hunting companion is a state winning turkey caller who started hunting w/ me when he was @ 9 years old and while hunting together last year we killed 6 long beards. We're hoping to start this season off w/ a "bang" tomorrow morning. Best wishes for everyone this year, BE SAFE!!!

Good luck out there bud! What state cancelled your hunt?

TN, but it wasn't the state but the Federal authorities. The TWRA pushed for the hunts to be held. I had a total knee replacement in January and have rehabbed w/ the goal of hunting this week and actually did over 2 1/2 miles in the woods on Sunday scouting. I turned 69 yesterday, and am more pumped about hunting this year than I was 39 years ago when I first contracted "gobbler disease" which seems to get worse every year.

That really sucks your hunt got cancelled. Great job on your rehab success. My step-son was supposed to go on a 3 day guided veteran turkey hunt at Fort Pickett in Virginia. He found out last week it was cancelled.

hope you get into them thick!
