who is ramping up for Spring Turkey hunting?

i cant believe it is just around the corner. super stoked!!

crazy how life is going by so fast..i still remember last years spring fun.

got a new shotgun this year, but i am electing to keep it all bow hunting. seems more tranquil to my local flock..they dont bust out of the valley, and i can get an attempt in for a second bird the next day.

just fine tuned my bow..broadheads are flying amazing out to 30 yards so far.

i just changed to a slider sight, and i havent sighted in my far pins yets..i am 90% sure my 40 yard pin is good too..been doing this long enough that my eyeballing is awful close.

(it is a 3-pin with slider)

 

12 day. Nobody ?

 

I'm just waiting until next weekend. Last one I got was over 25lbs 10 1/2 inch beard.

 

Bow is ready!

 

Good afternoon....my name is Tom & I'm a turkeyholic

I've been ready since the last day of last years season I'll be dirt napping in gobblers in WV, MA, VT, NH and maybe PA. Here's a little tribute I put together while I was going through withdraws in June.

Drought year and we expect a big storm on the opener. Mother Nature hates me.

 

5 days and spring turkey opens here.
my list:
1. Find #4 3.5'' loads
2. go hunting

 

Me and my biddies are going to try going out to East county and hopefully find a couple gobblers. Its a first season at it, only scouted a few places but yet to see or hear anything. Planning on using my SuperNova but I need to get the red dot zeroed in first.

 

Scouted yesterday found over 40 birds about 6 gobs April can't come fast enough

 

Bah.
I'm looking forward to the season, but right now there's still 3 feet of snow in the woods where I hunt. I scouted it this past weekend; I kept breaking through and it was easily up to my crotch every time.

 

Aww that sucks if it helps you feel any better it was 75 here yesterday

 

A couple of years ago I had the motorcycle out on my birthday. This year we got a snowstorm.

 

im so ready for it... the green is back, the birds are chirping,, the hills come alive.. its like the whole world is re-born.. the calmness of the woods.. and just hearing a tom gobble the next holler over gets me pumped.. im so ready... best of luck to all...

 

I drew fifth season here in Illinois, so I still have sometime. Hopefully it warms up a bit

 

My arrow rest blew up yesterday. Happy I have different rest in storage. Had to tune it again and resight bow. I thought I was effed!
I'm back.

 

opens saturday here. probably going to wait till next weekend and go. storming this weekend and i’ll be on a WMA kinda hope next weekend is not as busy.

 

Hell yeah! Going to Alabama! Where you huntin?

 

Season opened here on the 13th. I took my dad for the opener and called a bird in for him, had it flopping by 8:30 . I've been twice since then and aint found one for myself yet. Im waiting on daylight Sat morning to try it again.
