Scouting time approaches

[TURKEYWHACKER]

Well I know the NE may be snowed in, but us Florida boys are ready to start scouting for gobblers. Sunday mornings will be spent making the 1 1/2 hour drive, putting out my new turkey treker cams and listening in other areas. At mid day I'll pull the cameras and check cards then make the drive home. Can't wait to put my new Avian X hens to use too. When do you guys usually start your scouting forays?

[RutnNStrutn]

I'm with you Mike. Then again, I also live in central FLA like you. I have a couple of scouting trips planned for this month. Cannot wait to hit the woods for real though!!

I'm ahead of you boys. I took a nice long walk this past weekend. Didn't see anything but hikers and horseback riders. Chief

[RutnNStrutn]

Sounds like you were scouting in the wrong spot Bubba!!

[blackmagic]

I've got the boat running....

[Twowithone]

Us Pa. boys have a while to go. 

[RutnNStrutn]

Don't worry brother, long after we are done, y'all will just be getting started.

Ahh yes, a little island hunting. Hopefully we won't need waders.

I'm not too worried the WMA I was on has plenty of turkey's. It's a favorite for the horse people to ride in but once season get here they aren't too bad. Chief

This thread feels like home! So I though I would say hey.

I have not started yet, but will in the next week or so.  Mostly getting guns ready so far.    Patterning guns is expensive.  But fun.

I know what you mean, I just spent 175 bucks on shells. I'm going to pattern every 12 gauge I own and carry the best one this year. Chief

[RutnNStrutn]

$175??? What are you shooting Bubba? Nitros?
Larry, you still hunting that ranch up there? Looked like a beautiful spot to hunt turks!

[g8rvet]

Yeah.  It really is.  My bro and nephew both have private leases to hunt too, so unless things change, not much public for me this year.

[ChiefBubba]

I've got my 870 that's been my go to gun the past few years but next week I'm carrying every 12 ga I have to the the range and shoot different shells. If any particular gun stands out that's what I'm taking. But if none can beat the 870 then it's going out. Chief
