Have our MN teammates started hunting yet?

Not as good as for you bro. Very nice bird today. Im looking for his little brother or cousin in 9 days in NH. Possibly 6 days if I can swing a Maine hunt.  Z

Congrats on two nice birds in NJ   I have some fond memories of NJ for sure.

Minnesota allows hunters to pick which week they would like to hunt and then we get to hunt 10 more days at the end of May if your tag is still unfilled. I find that the state is overflowing with turkeys, and yet they only allow you to shoot 1 per season. They may get a little more generous with the limit in the future, but for now that's it. I took the week of May 7th through the 13th. I will really need to get a bird that week as I am scheduled for eye surgery on the 15th.

Congrats on some dandies Roost1. I'll be heading back out in about 2 weeks. Slim chance I could kill one around home between now and then. Going to mostly be hunting mountains so the chance of an upgrade is not going to be good.

My hunt here in MN starts on May 1st for me. I was in SD last week and the birds put a whooping on me. I'm going back there starting this Thursday looking for some revenge!

Got a Gobbler out in SD over the weekend. The problem with most Merriams is that they don't score very high, but they are fun to hunt! He only scores a whooping 50, but at least that should help our team score out for now until I either get an Eastern that scores higher or one of my teammates here bumps him out! I'll get him posted up tomorrow. I'll be hunting here in MN starting this Thursday afternoon thru the weekend.

Bill,

We are in position to be able to win with almost ANY adult bird at this point. By all means score, photograph and post your bird, my brother. The time has come to push to the front of the pack and put this game completely out of reach.

Cheers  ;D

Opening day tomorrow.  Not going to lie to you all.  The numbers around here are way down.

Opening day was a washout. Had 2 jakes this morning.

Heard my first gobble yesterday after hunting 3 straight days.  Took today off.  Back at it tomorrow.

Two days, miles walked, calls made...no response. I will be heading out there this afternoon to catch him without hens. An old adage that has served me well through the years - If he gobbles at you in the afternoon, he will die.
