Hunt tomorrow's opener and then take Sunday off.  May be time for PA to join the 21st century.  A working person is really given the short straw.  Good luck to all.

Great PA opener. Spitting rain and cool. Toms talking and roaming. Noon came quickly. How blessed we are to hunt these creatures.

No problem with the May 4th start here. Super green and hens are leaving the gobblers early morning. It was a gobblefest all morning long.
I took my 72 year old mom and we doubled on two stud gobblers 3 hours apart. She didn't complain. Funny to hear grown men can't handle a slightly later start when my mom and 9 year old son tag out in the same conditions. I love lonely gobblers.

Her's was 24lb 9.5" beard 1.25" spurs

Mine was 20.4lb 9.5" beard 1.25" spurs

She has shot a few long beards and a handful Jakes in the past, but never with me. Her husband, my stepdad is one heck of a turkey hunter but not a very good turkey guide evidently. he kills birds every year and has forever, but has a really hard time getting her on turkeys for whatever reason. She asked if she could go with me instead of him on the first day so I obliged.

We had a great day also. Started slow but had a lot of gobbling once they got themselves a cup of coffee. Nephew was able to get his first bird and we had an absolute blast even though we couldn't have been one more drop wetter than we were. A day I won't soon forget.

Got me jacked up all over again just typing this out!
