LOL !!!  Yeeeeaaaahhh..........

It's also later than the opener in Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ontario, Quebec, Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.    :angry9:

Our game commission comes up with some REAL head scratchers.   In the southern and eastern parts of the state, it'll be so greened-up by opening day you won't be able to see in the woods.

I'm already counting the days, making calls, buying guns, blinds, scouting, trying to get new property, etc.   Hoping this season is half as good as last year was.  Already got eyes on a few prospects for this year, and my daughter is ready to roll.   Our season starts April 13 and I'll be pacing the floor and counting the minutes until then.

I'm counting, too.

3 1/2 freakin' months 'til I can hunt at home.  But 49 days and I'll be at it down south !!!    :you_rock:

SWEET !!!!!!!!

I was hoping to hunt Florida either before or after my Mexican hunt (flying out from Miami).  But the timing on the North Zone opener is just wrong by about 1 day for me to hunt.    :(

Totally bummed.

Only just starting to hear from the rest.

Give 'em time.  Pretty sure last year's group is this year's group.  Buncha hard-core, stone-cold killas !!!!

I've been seeing a few suitable candidates to hang a tag on in my general vicinity.   Shaping up (maybe) to be a pretty decent year for home games.

I'm in...but this year will be different/difficult. I lost access this year on one property due to issues in the owner's family but it looks like I'll get it back next season. I may have a couple other options but I won't know until later.

The lease close to the house is getting cut "sometime in the spring" due to a pine beetle infestation so we'll see how that goes. Either way I'll be here...either to add to the total or moral support  :'(

Glad your back. Good luck on your leases for sure........

Saw these dudes about a week ago.  They're in the general vicinity of where I hunt, so........  Maybe a couple will disperse my way.

I'm pretty sure we'll have the same group.  I keep in touch with a couple of the PA boys on our team and we're all ready to go!
Things are looking good so far down here in VA.  Got a couple nice groups of birds around on various properties, and hopefully they stick around.   Our season starts April 13th here in VA, so hopefully these next 7-8 weeks fly by.

Funny..................  I was just doing a little research into season dates and license fees for VA this morning.

Kinda kicking around MAAAAAAYBE a little trip to the Wythe/Bland county area to nose around a bit.

I'm in again. Planning on heading to Florida with A_Jabbo in March, Virginia in April with Twyatt, and back home in Pa in May. That won't totally scratch the itch but it's about all I can do without coming home to all my stuff thrown out across the yard!

Post by: POk3s on February 08, 2024, 09:24:54 PM
I'm in! I logged on specifically to look for a PM or a post like this, and here it is!

I will be heading East on April 12 or April 19 for 10 days of turkey chasing. Haven't quite decided which one yet! Ill be ready for your early season report Yoder!!
