Quiet. So much wind might pack up and go. Not sure walking around in this mess will deliver anything.

On the distance I like to walk to my stands:

Set up in a clearcut with my son before daylight in a spot they like to pitch down in. Bird hit the ground one shelf below us and I got him to the top of the hill. My son missed him and he hauled ass. D@mnit!! Dagg naggit. It was fun though wasn't it. Wish my kids turkey hunted.
What you do today, you have to sleep with tonight.

Pretty crappy morning. Get out there early af and had plenty of company, not all the surprised.
Got a good wind joke for you:
It was SO windy I couldn't even hear the 10 other hunters that were set up around me, including the one right down the road. Now that's windy. Good luck all hope you find some success.

Slipped in within 100 yards of one this morning. Had one of his hens pitch down 50 yards from me and head towards him gobbling. His last gobble was at 6:20 and I couldn’t get on him to answer after that. That wind picked up hard around 8 and I left. I’m gonna try again tomorrow from a different angle.

Heard the same number of distant gobbles as other hunters I ran into... Three... And I was over 1.2 miles deep straight through woods, well over 2 miles via the road two others came in on. This is the first time I've ever encountered other hunters here. Pressure is insane this spring. Glad I got a few down early.
