The weather has warmed back up some so I'm gonna make it out a morning or two this week to listen and look.

I seen three longbeards cross the road the other day. I climb the back of the road yesterday to see where they went. I took this picture of one of the gobbler track.

I been remodeling a room in the house, had to put in a new window today. Eric FireLt and I have been e-mailing back and forth about a line I got on some property. I did go and look a a new place to hunt, the property I talked about before and it looks good. Well I hope I get to get out soon!!

Scouted the "honey hole" today.  2 Birds gobbling at each other at 6:15 am in the EXACT SAME TREE I left them in back in 2010.

My Dad called me yesterday to tell me he spotted 2 toms strutting in the field at his farm.  He also said he heard a lot of gobbling this morning.  Season opens in 2 weeks.  Im stoked!

Well all the snow is finally melted and the temps have been getting higher so the flocks are starting to break up in my neck of the woods.  I stopped at one property on my way home from work yesterday to listen.  I didn't have my crow call so I let out a few yelps on my mouth call and one gobbled a couple hundred yards away.  Hopefully they will stick around for another month until youth season opens up.  I should be able to put some miles on the boots next weekend between scouting and looking for sheds.

Well yesterday evening, I was out in the back yard, across the pasture and in the back bean field I could see the turkey and could her the hens but ol tom wasnt saying nothin. It wont be long here and they'll be gobblin. I guess in the southern part of the state, Guys are saying the toms are starting to gobble. Thats about it for me, seems like the nice days we have Im at work lol. Go Team "Head Hunter's!!"

Scouted new 350 acres this morning.  I don't know about ya'll but I have never come across a spot like this.  It sounded like something out of a Primos video. 

At about 6:15 am a coyote barked and I am not kidding, 8 or 9 different gobblers sounded off around this 10 acre field.  Then the hens cut loose.  It sounded like complete chaos!!!!  Needless to say it was exciting.

I've scouted 3 different properties in the last 2 mornings and I've heard birds on every property I've walked, so far.  I'm looking forward to Aprils 1st!!

:fud:

I scouted my farm this morning and heard 3 different birds gobbling.  In the last week I've walked 4 properties and heard multiple birds on each one.  The season can't get here fast enough.

NC Turkey, looks like a traveling bird, walking down the median!
"I admire a good turkey hunter chiefly because such a man displays qualities that we usually associate with pioneer America-patience, enthusiasm, woodcraft, game sense, and a quiet hardihood undaunted by rain, by cold, by long tough miles, by disappointment."

Man look at all that green grass.  Mine is all white.  We got another 6-8 inches yesterday.  Was looking forward to getting out in the woods this weekend but it looks like it is gonna stay pretty cold and not melt right away.  Oh well, not bad for the first week of spring.

I'm pumped now.  Was scouting on two farms today, nothing to report on the river farm, but the creek farm has one nice, big long beard on it!  Must be a 21 or 22 lb tom, beard was thick and should be in excess of 10" - I will be looking for him very soon with a shotgun in hand!
