Who's ready for the Missouri opener?!

Killed my #1 bird of the season this morning. Quiet morning on a new place but saw 4 other Toms and some hens.

I enjoyed hunting in Missouri back several years ago we would camp for a week off the eleven point river and hunt the Irish wildernesses ...it was a lot of fun. You could stand in one spot and hear a turkey gobble in every direction ..those were the days....now I'm just a old retired from work turkey hunter so I stay close to home in West Tenn.

Funny you say that, I live 3 miles from Irish wilderness and 5 miles from eleven point. Your right back then the turkeys we're everywhere, back in 80's. Now far and few in between seems like.

Seems like late '80's early '90's were the hottest turkey hunting for us along the Niangua River in Dallas county. There were 4 in our hunting party and every year everybody would kill at least 1 bird and my dad was on a roll killing his 2 birds for 5 or 6 years straight. Turkey hunting started getting popular about that time and now fewer birds in that area with even fewer wanting to gobble much.

I'm glad to see some folks are having some luck.  I'm getting nothing but hens, winds, and trespassers so far.
