Sitting at the gate on a quota hunt in central Florida. 2nd truck in line and got here at 3am. This place has been good to me in the past hopefully it continues. Good luck to everyone out there today!

Headed that way. I ain’t goin to public and I still have to leave this early. God thank you

Drinking coffee, waiting on the rain to stop.

Just looked at a radar. Gonna be a lot better at sun up than originally forcast

Been here waiting at sign out shed since 0345.

Sky is clearing gona be a beautiful morning. All enjoy. I’m heading out now.

Drinking coffee. Good luck to y’all

Sitting at my gate and about to walk on in early.

Thank you lord for letting us live to see another season! Good luck to all

Sitting in my rocking chair on the porch drinking coffee. Won’t be long we’re gonna get in the truck and head to our spots for the morning. Good luck to all.

About to head to the farm now. Later than I had hoped, but rather be late than have to drive in the dark and rain. Maybe late(er) in the morning will be the ticket


Good luck to all, and stay safe

Just about to walk off the porch and down behind the house to light rain and thunder in didtance.
Good luck.

Rain picked up and lightening closer, so got back on the porch.

Sitting on the tailgate. Don't know which will come first daylight or rain. Wind is picking up pretty good.

In truck. Gonna wait a while. Light rain, wind, and Lightening popping around here. Don’t feel like walking around with a lightening rod on my back

Good luck fellas, so much water running off the mountains I can't hear anything. Gonna enjoy this sunrise either way

Tryin to get my little girl up and out the door….

I'm sitting here on this 80 I can hunt. Not too bad out here right now. I'm ready to play

On my way to the lease

Present at listening spot in macon cty

Made a last minute change to a new property I’ve never hunted. Lightning still flashing to the south but it’s pretty here and the crows have started hollering so maybe a turkey will sound off.

Hope yall didnt let the wind talk you out of going. Theyre gobblin like crazy here

In Macon County. No rain yet but skeeters are thick!

Skeeters thick as thieves here in Lee county. Just started dripping. Sitting in a blind trying to get my son his first bow kill. 2 hens Zero toms. There’s been 2 hanging out every day this week but not a sound this morning. May try this evening.

Rain drove me back to camp. Out now easing and listening. Nothin yet but skeeters.

Its 6:50 amd i aint even heard a crow 🤣🤣

Blessed to b able to go

One gobbler hammering on the limb and four jakes out in front of me strutting

Theses new rules sure make me want to be an outlaw - my cameras had gobbs 4-5 days ago and had been that way for weeks

Nothing last few days

He dead.

Winston County youth hunt with my 5 year old son…we’re settled into a blind on a foodplot where I heard a turkey gobble on his own yesterday afternoon about 5:30. Hopefully, he’s still in this zip code after the storm last night lol.

Good luck to y’all

POURING here in Chambers County.....off and on for the last 45 minutes.

Walked outside to listen, didn’t hear anything, light rain and wind is picking up. Back in bed. That call out at 2am has me tired

My boy just killed a stud

10.50 beard

1.25 spurs

Pouring rain in Tallassee

One storm wave moved through, have some more to come then going to head out!
Good luck everyone, and be safe!

Got one about had a heart attack lol

Ive got this one at 5yds right now. Strutting and gibbling. Has two hens with him, going after a third.
Got his pic took, he lives another day. Now yall turkey huntets know how i feel when you pass a 120" 3yo buck

You’re an idiot…just saying lol full fan he dead

Counting coup today, i guess. Just had a secong gobbler walk right by us following about 200yds behind the first and his hens. I promised my sons girlfriend a bird. Shes out of pocket this morning, couldnt come. I decided to hold off so theyll still be fresh for her.

Rain finally made it to Macon County. I’m hunkered down in a shooting house, going to check the pastures soon as it passes.

Congrats and to you as your son!

Preparing for my daughter’s first birthday party at the house 🤦🏻 I really should’ve planned that pregnancy better lol

Only heard 1 gobble so far.gnats are bad here in Clarke

Heard a couple gobbles, seen a hen. That's it so far. Th hen flew down well after sunrise.

They are bad in South Monroe County also!! Sun just came out here. Sure is warm!!!

Weve seen quite a spectacle this morning. 4 gobblers, three hens, three of the four gobbling and strutting, a fight. Needing to leave but cant because were covered up with birds. Crazy stuff.

Well I managed to pull a gomer and get stuck.

Had the me strutting at 35-40 yards off the roost. Never could get a clear shot at him. Probably heard 4 to 5 different birds this morning

We walked right under 10 or so, roosted in 20’ pines….🙄
The last place I expected them to roost.

What a gorgeous day Lord, you are showing out. There isn’t much better than spring turkey woods.

I heard 5-6 this morning. Had one at 75 couldn’t pull him no closer. Still here maybe I’ll get a late gobble. Good luck fellas

Had one 150 yards from the truck gobble on roost over 200 times. Hoped it would fly down and walk into dads gun. But he finally flew down and goes the other way. We circled and he walked by at 30 yards but didn’t present a shot. Such is turkey hunting, just excited to chase them another year and hear one gobble.

Let the .243 eat early

He gone

Heard one early I think. Headed to plan b. Hope I do hear a crow call there

Killed one at around 9:30, just now getting to check in. Pics and story to come later

Plan B worked out in my favor. 11:00

Heard 5 we thought we were in the game with two but their hens took them off.

I heard one way off property, congrats to all the killers

Just a 2 yr old but good night I worked hard for it.

We finally got on one, strutting in a out of the way place. Would NOT come to calling. We almost got close enough for a shot and 3 hens come strolling in behind us and he walked off putting. Hunting with kids is tough….😂

Took my grandson on his first turkey hunt this morning, Winston County youth hunt.
I hooted, bird gobbled on the limb, we got set up, soft called, second bird gobbled other one cut him off they hit the ground and came in quite. They put on a show for us but he just couldn’t get on one before they seen movement.
He is fired up now. Think I have a new hunting partner.

#1 gone at 7:10 this morning Hale county, he was the fearless leader of a group of 4 longbeards he had a 9” beard and no spurs. That’s the first one I have seen personally with no spurs.

I worked too hard to end up with a miss at 1055 after he landed about 70 yards from me off the roost. He proceeded to the neighbor''s pasture for couple hours. . He gobbled 200 times at least. Finally got in front of him, and screwed up the shot.

Congrats killers!

Done at 6:40 this morning, Gobbled 5 times on roost, 2 clucks he flew down to 40 yards. 22lbs, 10.25 beard 1 inch spurs

Congrats on the kills today guys!

10” 1 1/8” at 11:30 in Russell county after the rain quit.

40 years ago today at 14 years old I killed my first bird, a jake, with my dad. We doubled up, he got the longbeard.

Thanks dad.

Finally getting around to posting pics of mine from this morning.

Checked several spots in the rain at daylight with a buddy and only heard one distant gobble before finally making our way around to where my bird was. He started gobbling on his own around 9:00 or so and I was able to get within about 200yds of him. He was up on the side of a hardwood ridge across a creek bottom from me just gobbling his head off. After about 30 mins of messing with him I finally cut hard on my mouth call and the hen that was with him got mad. A few minutes of cutting back and forth with her and she ran up to about five yards from me, spooked, then ran off. Not long after I saw his fan coming over the rise at about 40yds and the 20ga took care of the rest. Dang good morning.

I was never in the game today but it wasn’t for lack of trying! Congrats to the killers!

Dang I figured they would be gobbled out by now

Congrats to the killers

Got a nice long beard headed back to the roost this evening. It was late around 6ish. I saw him and his brother this morning- they busted me right after the rain stopped. They both were headed back to roost for the evening. For some reason, I decided to name them Bobby Joe and Billy. Bobby Joe took the dirt nap this evening, Jimmy’s day will come at the hands of my dad 🤣 Nice 10 inch beard, good spurs, and got to kill him in my Mr Fox vest. First opening day bird for me. I’ll post up pics tomorrow after church.
