FC opens the 25th and I'll be at Walt Disney World for the week. Won't be until the 2nd before I get out. I'm seeing large flocks of hens and gobblers together.

I am ready!! Went out this morning to one of our spots and didn't hear anything. I think they are still on the adjoining farm. Hopefully they will start breaking up into smaller flocks in next few weeks.

I walked up on some gobblers while shed hunting the other day. Most of em flew the creek but one stood there about 20 yards away just lookin at me while i walked toward him and then he flew across. Dumb birds... can't wait to get one fired up this spring

Just got a Pro diamond scope on my 835 along with the aerolite Limbsaver kick pad. My God'a grip shotgun wedge just came in the mail today. Waiting on my tactical safety to arrive so I can install everything and give my gun a good deep clean so I can get it patterned. Can't wait to try it!

Where are you getting your gun dipped? I just bought a 20g youth 870 ( black synthetic) I want to get it dipped.

I'm getting it dipped at a place in Manchester. It's called Gunsmith's. he's a little higher than others because he uses Cerakote as his clear coat. He's got the licensed patterns, but I went with one called shadow bark to save abut $50 and get it a little quicker. That pattern looks a lot like Bottomland! The number for the business is 931-450-2117

Guess what guys? The two week countdown has begun!! I'm soooo ready!! Got my Baretta scoped out and picked up some LB Xr 6's today, 870 is ready to rock, and should have the 20 ga. back next week. Then it'll be off to the range to get em all tuned in. Camo, calls, and boots are ready and I'm working on a deal to pick up another vest in Bottomland for early season!! Let's hear some chatter to pass the time!!

It's getting closer !
I've got to get my gun patterned and ready.
My snake boots took a crap last night and my truck battery is going out awesome!
I've been able to really add some upgrades to my gun the last month and got some much needed camo. I'm looking forward to this season!

Wow. That's a lot of travel to only see a couple of hens. How are your hunting spots looking this year?

Seeing a very few. My big bird is still around. In the next week or two the flock on the north end should work down like they normally do barring anymore tornadoes. In 2014 I killed three big mature birds in that bunch. There were plenty left. Should have several two year olds this time.
