At the gate and revving their engines

The temps are rising, the dogwoods are in full bloom, Saturday starts a little cloudy then clears, Sunday should be a Katey-Bar-The-Door kind of morning. It's all good.

Slow start down in my neck of the woods.  Was able to go for about an hour before work each morning last week.
Opening morning- went by my house heard one bird gobbled 8 times. He answered me 2 times and gobbled at me scratching the leaves. That's when I had a huge coyote almost jump on me. When our eyes met he was right at 5 steps away just over my left shoulder.  He looked like Wiley coyote off of the roadrunner cartoon when he turned a 180 in mid strid and kicked leaves up when he left there. He has a little yelping pup running with him. The bird shut up and after a while I eased around and found the gobbler and a hen still in the tree at 8:3am. I watched them fly down deep into the neighbors hardwoods away from the sounds of the coyotes.
Thursday- by my house he gobbled 3 times deeper on the neighbors property.
Friday- nothing
Saturday I hit the forest. Nothing  I walked 5 miles in 3 of my top producing areas and didn't see any sign nor hear anything.  I didn't even see another hunter nor hear any shots. Very strange for opening weekend.  I talked to 10 other friends that hunted Saturday morning and no one heard a bird. It was an almost perfect morning.
Sunday- back by the house I heard 3 birds gobble 8-10 times. I also heard another hunter that was way across the line. And my high pitched yelping coyote ran right to the gobbling birds and they all went silent. I did get  permission to hunt this piece of property but it's really thick so I doubt I'll try to chase them there.
I'll be headed black out to the forest on my next off day. Hopefully they will be talking a little better

Good luck to all y'all.

I told my wife to go ahead and be prepared for me to be a little ornery because I haven't pulled the trigger yet, lol.

I have been on them two  mornings now, lots of gobbling but they have been on the propety line and been in a calling contest with someone on the other side, I knew I should just walk way but they were gobbling so good, at lest 8 birds this morning slipped both of us! I have off tomorrow I hope the guy on the other side does not!

Georgia Season opened this past weekend. It is raining today but I plan to be out there in the morning.

Gun is sighted in, tape and scale are ready. Calls are chalked and sanded and I have sprayed my clothes with permanone.
Not supposed to be a great year here but I will be trying my best.

My friend heard one back in the swamp gobbling so that is where I will be tomorrow before the sun comes up.
My friend killed this one opening morning a few miles away on some property owned by a big dog Atlanta lawyer who won't let anyone else on the property. He said it was a classic hunt. Birds gobbled about 300 yards away and came right in first thing after daylight.
