At the gate and revving their engines

[FullChoke]

Your Mississippi and Alabama Team Roaring 20's terrorists are poised at the gates and hoping for some ragged sleep before the 30 minutes before sunrise witching hour in the morning which constitutes the opening of the 2017 turkey season down here. Join together with us to wish them safety, fun and big honkin' gobblers.

Ready, steady...

Thanks.guys, gonna be the coldest opener I can ever remember, mid 20's the first 2 mornings. Colder than a lot of this past deer season. I'll be chasing them as best I can. May be posting a frozen turkey, if you know what I mean! ?

Apparently. I know that Surehuntsalot and myself weren't able to get away from work Wednesday, and I haven't heard from the others yet. My guess is that their hunting will start on Saturday.  As a side note, everyone that I talked to that was able to go said that although it was deer-hunting cold Wednesday morning, at sunrise it was clear and the birds were screaming. Most folks reported hearing around 100-200 gobbles yesterday morning.

I'm in central AL the last 2 days. Almost no gobbling being reported w/ 6 hunters in the woods.

I got a call from my boss at 6:55 this morning that I could have the day off, 8:00 getting to the woods and heard and saw nothing! Buddy said he heard a new member shoot 3 times in a spot I had planned on opening my season, after my work day tomorrow I will be after them every day for the next month, good luck to all!

3 shots adds up to a miss and 2 running shots.

Alrighty then, tomorrow is the first weekend of the 2017 turkey season for the states of Alabama and Mississippi. I will be among the ravenous horde descending on the innocent woodland chickens for our annual ritualistic game of wits. I long to feel the discomfort of a pair of long spurs crushing down on my fingers and shoulders and to feel that rhythmic bloody thumping of an aerated head on the seat of my britches.

May our team mates be in rare tactical form, able to parse out an entire volume of information from the thinnest wisp of left behind evidence and fashion a fool-proof Close Encounter of the Bird Kind with the undisputed King of the Spring.   

Let's stay safe out there, my brothers.

Good luck to all tomorrow.  Flip the bird as they say.

My 3rd day in Central AL and not the first gobble. Gonna move west and try MS this weekend and get ready for FL the following weekend. Hope the warmer weather opens up some mouths soon. Good luck to all.
