Nice job fellers!!    April 18th is the opener in KY for me.  If my girls soccer tournaments get canceled for this weekend I'm going to try to hunt GA or a buddy's lease here in TN.

Guys I had one in my lap but just could see him. The sounds of his gobble and drumming was within 30-40 yards. Just thick cover. He was working around it slowly but another hunter came in and started over calling loudly and spooked him off. Aggravations of public birds

The ol' 835 and hillbilly did it again.

Good bird ericjames

Well you know I might be doing something right when he's gotta take a picture with me. That's not what got to me, he walked up to me and started to sit down. Then he looks around at the bird and back at me and says with the most serious face ever. " Wait a minute daddy, I gotta go put my foot on his head". Then he came an sit down.

This is with the 3.5" longbeard 4's @ 38-40 yards. I thought the same thing, I said he is smashed for it being  that distance. When I was cleaning him the thick part of the breast bone was broke in 3 different places. and the pellets kept going but they didnt exit. I have one more vocal bird that I know of, I might leave him and go try to hunt the management area just to see how that goes.

I can't wait til this weekend!  KY opener is finally here.  The last time it opened this late in the season I tagged out opening weekend.  We've had lots of rain here in Chattanooga (and soccer tournaments for my girls) and I haven't hunted locally at all.  I'm off friday and am going to hit GA in the morning before heading to KY.  I'm also off Monday so I have a 4 day weekend to make it happen.
