Looks like I’m the first one up so I’ll do the honors and start the thread. Mornin’ guys. Watching the coffee brew then headed out the door. Good luck

Dangitsfoggy

Opening day in zone 2, maybe these birds are ready to play. Good luck

Nothing like driving towards the lightning with a full moon out. Kinda eery looking but storms have worked off away. Maybe they play ball today up in the NW corner

Waiting on coffee to finish brewing then on my way gentlemen. Good luck

Y’all get em! Headed to Decatur for my daughters dance competition

Against my better judgement I decided to brave the public land crowd this morning. There was a truck parked at my first choice at 4:45 so I’m at plan B. It looks breezy, hopefully I’ll hear one to fool with.

Out at a listening spot drink some coffee. Hot and muggy

Headed to a spot we scouted yesterday. Ton of sign in there. I got a feeling it’s gonna be a long day of deer hunting them

Good luck guys I’m headed to the leasec

Here we go. Good luck men! I’m going here at the house today.

Dad and I are sitting at the gate drinking coffee. I’m not really optimistic about them gobbling today though.

In the Forest

Present

On a ridge drinking coffee, didn’t hear a thing yesterday going to try something different today. Maybe the sun will come out, good luck fellas!

Wife’s first hunt of the year...trying to kill one with the box call on our wedding cake. Maybe I won’t miss this am if given the opportunity lol

Dang this wind

Taking my 11 year old daughter on her first Turkey hunt. Good luck to everybody.

Forecast last night called for 3mph wind. They way undershot that. Just doesn’t feel like a gobbling morning.

Just got settled in, good luck fellers

It’s real muggy here. Prolly doesn’t bode well for later today.

so far quiet in Macon cty

Nothing talking on the TNF so far. Muggy and windy.

Muggy and super quiet in Pike county. Crows don't even want to call much

Nasty day for the opener in Louisiana.

Dead bird at 6:48. Gobbled really good.

Cloudy, hot, foggy with a little mist falling. Not looking good but better than being at work. This weather sucks.

Heard him twice. I’m ready for a good gobbling bird.

scouting out a new spot that looked good on topo. Settled in and had a crazy top gun hen that was roosting 150 yards away buzz my head at 5 feet. Guess she likes my call. Males must have lockjaw because it is quiet.

Congrats! All quiet here

Coyote came in on a string

Battled the same hot/muggy conditions in Bertha but got on one early and was able to make it happen. My only setup was in a trashy SMZ between two newly replanted clearcuts. He drummed and gobbled just out of sight for 20 minutes before drifting off down the SMZ. I moved about 40 yards to where he was strutting and struck him and in about 5 minutes he strutted over the little hill and I killed him where he was originally strutting and drumming. Nasty conditions but blessed nonetheless! Good luck fellers stay after ‘em!!

Gobbling good in Maringo co.
Trying to be patient.

Congrats to the killers!

Got busted by a deer. When it took off so did 2 turkeys. My kinda luck I reckon

Congrats General!

Text book hunt this morning. Went back into where we had the encounter yesterday, and multiple birds were roosted together and started gobbling early and often. They were roosted in a bottom off the edge of a food plot so we set up on the road leading to the plot about 50 yards from the field edge. My dad was set up front and I was a little ways back doing the calling. We were set up close enough that I could hear them fly down. Told dad they’re down and to get ready. The gobbled 3 or 4 times on the ground getting closer with every gobble. Just like the script says they walked through the plot right down the road. 3 gobblers all together started making they’re way right into the danger zone. We let them come and they put on a show. Gobbled in our face at 28 steps, so loud that dad flinched so violently that I thought the hunt was over. He did perfect and waited for the strutter to clear the others, and let it fly. We were done at 6:45. Dropped him back at the cabin and now I’m off on the search for one for me.

Great hunt jlbuc congrats!

Congratulations

Can’t get one going at any of my spots

Congrats Coosa - Jlbuc and General

I finally had a hunt where turkey gobbled pretty good - he was 250 yards across line and had several hens between me and him - prob gobbled 20 to 25 times - my best hunt of year for gobbling - last gobble he was headed in other direction - I did not think I was in the game much but the best thing I had going

Heard 5 gobble this morning. After moving 3 times I got to a spot they liked and closed the deal. First one this year

Silent again in Blount co! Did see a strutter with hens though

I’ve watched 2 die so far today. Called a guys first an hour ago. Good friends nephew. Now I’m working on mine for the day hopefully

congrats killers! 🦃💥👊🏻

No bird for me, but got a consolation prize. Dang near tripped over one of em.

Couldn’t hear them until I put eyes on them. Finally called the hen up and she drug him within shooting range.

Talk about a ruff start.. reminds me of the hard times, congrats killin men

Jbuc, you’re making it look easy 😀

Rolled into barbour wma last nite got in this morn never heard a bird gobble. Ugh not what i was expecting. Got a few days maybe they will pick up

Best gobbling for me so far. Took my son and we were set up on 3-4. Of course, they had a flock of hens with them. Ended up getting one into 30 yards for my boy. He could see him, but he didn’t want to shoot through the thick stuff he was behind. We let him walk and got back in front of him. By that time, I think the hens took him too far off to make another move. Struck up another one about 1/2 mile from those birds around 10. Got him to gobble 5-6 times, but he got led off as well. Any day chasing these things with my boy is a good day!!

Working on missing my limit. Got 2 out the way.🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Had one this morning and he gobbled great on limb, and then nothing. This afternoon I called in a hen and what was weird she had a whistle at the beginning of her call. It was short but very distinct.

#2 died about 3:55 this afternoon

Lol i feel your pain...I’ve got 3 misses and a wounded bird already but thank the Lord the slump ended at 1 pm killing one with my wife...pics and story to come

Stuball check ur pm

Congrats all

Congrats on the kills

My buddy got him one! Proud dad here! Hudsons first turkey! 5 years old and shot him with my 20 gauge because Dad messed up and didn’t turn sight off when sighting in his 410. 10 inch beard, 1 inch spurs and 17.5 lbs. Congrats buddy, I hope you kill a pile more!

That’s awesome! Great picture
