Yup me too....starting to get the itch. I have two hens and five poults hanging around the house to keep me entertained. The high command has already issued the edict that those are off limits LOL.
I will hunt gobblers only here at home for a while, maybe late season if no gobbler I'll take a poult jake. Ohio opens October 14 then down to Ky end of October for a week.
I enjoy fall hunting as much if not more than spring. You can mess with a bunch of birds in the fall, I never get in a hurry to fill my tag at home. Besides a lot of birds talking you rarely see anyone in the woods, they are all chasing deer.
On the deer note southern Ohio is getting slammed by EHD/ aka blue tongue. Farmers are finding dead deer everywhere! I was seeing 8-10 in my fields every day and today I saw one lone doe. I think it's gonna be an ugly loss.
