Well...it sure is good to be talking turkey with you fellas again. I've tried to peruse around the general forum and can't stomach most of what's being talked about....or b***ched about.
Anyway, my season will be as jam packed as I could make it with 5 tags in three different states and I can't wait for it to kick off!
If you guys are interested, here are the videos I made last year of my hunts. I look forward to talking with you all until June!

Phenomal hunts POK. I always look forward to your hunts. As a Midwest eastern boy I'm jealous of seeing those western birds.

This thread is a 2-edged sword.
I've been ready for this since I tied my last PA tag on last year. But, our home opener isn't til May 3rd.
But, HOPEFULLY.... I'll be getting an earlier start in Florida North Zone early April....followed by Maryland later in April.
Fingers crossed !!!
Amen brothers. Hitting Florida in March with Zelmo. Hopefully the Osceola's will cooperate for us. Let's get ready to rumble...

Great videos Trent, thx for sharing..
I just simply can't wait to be retired and chase seasons around. I'm not implying you guys are retired, as I can't remember your ages, but I HATE having the long drives home to my turkeyless part of the country. I get caught daydreaming of just being able to move camp when I want, hunt when I want, etc.
One day...one day lol
Great videos, Trent! I always enjoy your stuff. I also like your attitude. Like you indicated in your first video, I have always been a one-gobbler-a-day guy, as well. In this day of declining turkey numbers pretty much everywhere, it would be nice if a lot more turkey hunters would adopt that mind-set, but that's just my opinion. :) :icon_thumright:

I'm glad you enjoyed them! I can't say I'm God's gift to turkeys by only killing one per day but it was, in fact, killing two in one day that made me realize that wasn't near as fun! One interaction resulting in two dead turkeys resulted in an experience that wasn't as fun for me. But to each their own!

:goofball:
HAHA! I hope to be retired and not old sometime soon! 😃
I'm 47...been retired since 2016. One of these days I'm going to have enough time to chase birds in states other than Mississippi :fud:
Good luck this year! I will be hunting but I decided not to hold yall back by being on the team again.

It's all in good fun! Make sure to check in on us!
Pok - does your buddy still want to join - we need 1 more person
Yes I will text him again to be positive, but I'm sure he'll be in the thread shortly.
Good morning, gents. Checking in. :smiley-char092:
I'll be hunting my home state of NY, PA, WY and Montana this spring.
Welcome, looking forward to a great season for all.....
Great videos way to stick with it.
24° this morning. I was out in the dark trying to get a coyote to do something dumb in front of me.
First howl off the FoxPro and my whole ridgetop up behind me lit off with gobbling birds !!
I feel like something bad is gonna happen to a couple of them, comin' up, here, in about 6-7 weeks.

Great news!! (Well for everyone except the gobblers 😃) I haven't heard a gobblers in nearly 11 months now. Sometimes it's hard to live like this 😂😂😂
Heard my first gobbles of the year this morning. Took my boss's son on his first turkey hunt (its youth season in MS). Heard nothing on the limb but struck what sounded like a group of 3 around thirty minutes after flydown. Typical of this time of year, we didn't hear another peep out of them the rest of the morning. Still, it was sooo great to be back!
Looks like opening day here in East Mississippi will be a wash. We're looking at a Level 4 for bad weather with a chance of it bumping up to a 5....which is unheard of. Here's hoping we don't get blown away!
I hope the weather turns out better for you Mississippi boys. Hunt safe!
Go get em boys!
Git r done, down there !!
OK..... Update.
It does appear that I'll be hunting FL for 3 days in about 3 weeks. Then MD 2 weeks after that. Our PA season (thank you PGC.... not !! 😡) comes in May 3rd. There's also been whisperings of a NY trip if things end quickly in PA. But still up in the air on that.
So, outta 3 licenses, I hope to, at least, be able to contribute somewhere along the way.
No luck yet for me in Mississippi. Well, I shouldn't say that. I found one on Sunday morning that miscoursed me in the winds and came in at the wrong angle, stopping and looking at 75 yards.
This morning, I felt like the biggest idiot in the world. Had perfect set up, moved forward, gobbler stayed low, got behind me, and gobbled 15 yards behind me at my 7:00. It took some real talent to not kill him. I did, however, set a possible new world record for most cuss words said in a 5 minute period.

Been there...more times than I'll ever admit!

I'm almost certain you didn't break my cuss word record! 😃
We all know he's in real trouble now.
