Scouting reports.

Post here about scouting reports. If you are hunting the same piece of property of you hunted before,
tell us about it and past years kills.

I went out yesterday to listen for birds to a public land hunt I have. Did not hear any gobbles, did find some sign to show the birds are moving thru the area. Really wet down here in Florida this year.
Rivers are swollen, low and bottom areas are under water.
We just had a couple more inches of rain yesterday/last night, gonna make hunting harder this year.

Backwater and I went to another WMA last weekend and experienced the same thing, lots of water.
We did see a few birds, but it is still gonna be a tough year.

i was out at the lease today to scout only to find out the land was to be logged this spring they were to start two weeks before season i guess its all public land for me this year

Went out this morning to listen and check a camera. Did not hear any birds, but did find a few shooters on the camera.

Went out this morning to scout a spot. I heard 2 different birds and possibly 3. I will be heading back out to get a little closer and build some blinds.
Anyone else scouting yet.
Backwater and I will be in the woods hunting next Sat. Just a public land that does not require a quota,
So more practice than anything. But it sure will be good to finally be in the woods.

Weather has finally turned and we're coming out of the deep freeze, birds should be turning on soon.  I wait til bugs start coming out before scouting,  birds are still in the grain fields now.

No scouting yet for me. We don't open until April 18....birds are starting up already here in Arkansas. Plan on getting out in next few weeks. Have had ice, snow, and rain the past three weeks but spring is FINALLY here to stay.

Seasoned opened Saturday here. Got one into 150 yards. Strutted and gobbled for me around 30 mins then walked back the way he came. Struck him at 8. Had 2 gobbling on roost this morning went silent when they hit ground. Suns finally been out today with warmer Temps. Maybe they'll be fired up in the morning.

just got back from our youth hunt , no bird but the gobblers are fighting it up , they broke up the group yesterday with the boss gobbler being run off by 7/8 jakes, the boss strutted the same bottom two days prior to opener.

Took a drive Sunday to figure out some property lines on some public ground I plan to hunt and saw a nice big tom and four hens walking across the road going into the public land. The tom's beard wasn't dragging on the ground but I could see it from about 1/8 mile down the road pretty clear. He was strutting pretty big for his ladies at about 7:00 pm yet. I am going to try to get out early Saturday and listen a little.

Might be a struggle,  but I'll find a way!   We now have my lady and her 2 dogs to keep him occupied.  Wish I could take him in the spring,  he's yet to retrieve a turkey.
