Odd thing. I was going to go this morning in Alabama because  it opens March 15th well I have an app on my phone that is published by our State
and it says March 15th. One of ladies informed me today that her husband didn’t go because it is not opening until the 16th. Sure enough I looked
it up on the internet and it doesn’t open until tomorrow. I think somebody needs to update their app because I almost hunted out of season. Again this app is published and updated by the State of Alabama.

Slow morning I was using my box call with no response just yelping every so often then I switched to a glass pot call and did some cutting and got one gobbling right away . He was coming in and then it started to rain pretty good and that was it till the rain let up around 12  I made a move toward where he was coming from and saw him with 3 hens but could not close the deal . Nice beard on him 8-10 inch good bird .  So I know which cypress head I am setting up in tomorrow.

After them again this morning. Clear, cool, and still...I hope they feel like sounding off!


Edit - They didn't gobble very well, but I did get on one that had 3 jakes and a pile of hens with him.  I swung around in front of them twice, and both times he came by just out of gun range and the jakes almost walked over me.  After that they had eased on to private land and it was time for me to get to work anyway

I had two buddies score nice gobblers this weekend here in Alabama so it is definitely going to be a better season here than is was last year.  Not many killed around my parts last year.  I will probably get to go Friday evening with my youngest son.

well this is unfortunate....walking down a steep hill yesterday trying to swing around on a group of birds I felt something pop and my knee wobble but it didn't even hurt.  Then I took another step and the pain came and I wasn't sure I could make it back to my truck by myself, but eventually did.  They think it is just torn meniscus but I'm waiting on MRI results today to know for sure.


I've certainly never killed a turkey on crutches, much less any of these MS public land birds.  Challenge accepted!

Oh man sorry to hear about your knee. Praying it’s just something minor and your able to get back after them.  I know that’s got to be tough after waiting all year for season then having something like that happen.

That sux bro, I am going for an MRI Friday morning at 0500 for the same reason. But I was only going down cellar, not chasing birds.
