Yep hit me hard a couple weeks ago. Tried to distant myself from anything turkey so I would actually deer hunt but that's over.

Still 3 months from today (and our impending foot of snow) until Youth Day.  Another week after that til us big kids can hunt.  So as easy as it could be, when seeing groups of longbeards out feeding through the picked corn fields............ I ain't doin' it.   Too stinkin' long til I can do anything about it.  No sense in being all dressed up with no place to go..........    :(

Even more so now after I hunted for turkey on a 3 day Winter season hunt this weekend and had birds gobbling on the roost.

Im still bowhunting but turkeys are on my brain all year. Gonna be a great spring. Seen 4 different groups of long beards ranging from 4 to 9 and a flock of hens ranging close to 50. 1300 acres all to myself.

Just under 2 months and so much prep work to do!  Plus the NWTF convention and a few vacation days in TN to go with it in less than a month   I am already looking forward to full turkey immersion.  :funnyturkey:

I don't think I ever stop thinking of it but it seems like every end of Jan to the beginning of Feb it starts to really begin to get the heart pumping faster.  :funnyturkey: :turkey2:

Picked up a couple new calls since last season. Been seeing a flock of hens and another group of toms just a 1/2 mile from the house. Almost every weekend. Not sure I'll get to hunt this spring as I'm getting shoulder surgery tomorrow. Hoping for the best, still not open till April so there's a chance.

I came across this guy's tracks while duck hunting this weekend. It's still almost 3 months away in Colorado, though.
