Title: TN opener tom on public land
Post by: cnette01 on April 04, 2015, 10:17:46 PM
It was opening morning here in TN today and it all came together for me.  I hunt mainly public land for turkeys, so I try to have 2 or 3 places picked out.  My #1 spot already had a truck parked there, so I moved on to my #2 spot.  I saw several birds fly down, but it appeared that they were across the river I was hunting near.  Then I had a tom fly over my decoys, but he sailed out of sight.  I thought he might come back, so I gave him a few yelps.  A couple of minutes later 2 more birds flew down on my side and a hen ran over to my decoys.  There was a gobbler about 50 yards behind her.  She then proceeded to walk to about 15 feet from me.  I sat real still and was relieved when she didn't bust me.  The tom fanned out a couple of times and moved on into range.  It was a great opening morning.
