Title: Illinois Opener Dead Quiet
Post by: aaron.haverfield@gmail.co on April 11, 2016, 07:54:27 AM
Currently setting in the back 40, trying  to call in dinner and haven't heard a gobble, yelp, or cluck all morning. Been here since 530 and have heard every critter but a turkey. 

Anyone else hearing anything?

I didn't  go out and listen this morning.  I don't start until Saturday.

I'm located over in Greene County Illinois, close to west central. Its the northern zone. Had a crappie front come thru the past weekend and screwed everything up. Cold as hell here now. Heard a few guys killed out but they didn't hear anything either.

Finally heard a bird, but was on the other property and then a few minutes later I heard a shot. Better than hearing nothing I geuss. :TrainWreck1:
