Jealousy

[Jwall]

Well I got bored and decided to shot my affinity 12ga using an IC .665 choke with Hevi-13 3in 2oz #7's and got 219 pellets in a 12in target.I figure it will kill a bird but still not sold on the gun.

I am not jealous because of the early season. I am jealous because of the lengthy season, all day hunting and larger population of birds!

Try this one. We have to order our turkey tags in December. I forgot....and forgot about the second lottery too. I ordered them the day AFTER the second lottery . I look at the site everyday and it dont look like I will get a tag here in Illinois at all. I plan to go to TN and ARK but thats just not the same as hunting at home.

I love seeing you southern boys stack 'em up it just adds to the anticipation!  I may have over a month to wait, but on the other side of the coin, I'll still be hunting in the last week of may while turkey season will be a faint memory for a lot of guys. Another thing I hear every hear from local "turkey hunters" is they'll be all done breeding by the time season even gets here.I heard it today. Little do they know some of the best and most rewards  hunts come later in the season, at least IMO in my area.

Man that does stink. I got drawn for a wma quota hunt this year, first time its happened and I am looking forward to it. It is the second weekend of the season here.

Plenty of roads that lead south, boys and ain't nothing stopping anybody from going where hunters are yelping at em as we speak.

It ain't the miles that get me. It's the time. I get two weeks a year paid vacation. One week is always set aside for family vacation and the rest is mine. I work five days a week so you can kinda see a I don't have much to go around.  I have been stockpiling vacation time the last few years and there will be time in the future. Course the wife has mentioned Hawaii for our next big vacation. I got the green light to turkey hunt there if we go tho!
