Title: Can't get right
Post by: turkey slayer on March 22, 2011, 09:00:02 AM
Well yall the season opened saturday down here, and so far all I have is sore legs. I have been out 3 mornings and I have heard 1 gobble out of those three days. I've been every evening..... nothing! The birds just aint ready yet, hopefully something will get them going before too long.

Thing are picking up around here, birds are starting to break up into small flocks. I saw a tom breeding a hen today, she must be an old girl. We only have a little bit of snow left and it's starting to get warm outside, temps are up in the 50's midday and mid 30's at night.

Looks like I was just a little late, this camera is about 40 yrds from my evening setup.I checked it when I walked out and apparently I walked up and spooked him......O well maybe next time.

I wonder why that bird doesn't have any feathers on his legs? I know it's a lot warmer down there, but never seen a turkey waring shorts.  :TooFunny:

GOBBLE-GOBBLE Good luck guys. Looks like the weather is going to get bad for the weekend. I used to love hunting in the rain but now the old bones and joints do not like the cold wet weather.
