I went out the other day to see if the turkeys were where they usually are. YEP!  The woods was tore up from all of the scratchin.  Saw three longbeards just a swingin away. 

Now if they will just stay put until April 14...............   

I started turkey hunting in '86 and haven't missed a spring season yet.  Can't wait!

This is one of the spots that I turkey hunt. The picture is a couple months old but in past years it has proven to be a very productive area. I shot my biggest tom about a hundred yards from where I had my game cam set.

Dennis,

Excellent work. If you want to try for a huge north MO gobbler, just say the word. You are welcome here anytime.

About time somebody posted a picture that scored.   Contrats Greenside... there really is a turkey hunter here.   


Just yanking you other gents chains, since I don't live where I can hunt them anymore.   But I was beginning to wonder.   

BTW, some of my muzzleloading buddies across the country from another watering hole have been doing pretty good on them this spring hunting traditional.   Maybe you all need to get rid of the camo and modern firearms, change to PC clothing and sidelock flintlocks/cappers and you'll do better.

Easy Ladobe, our season hasn't even started yet....Ohio, that is. I've got my work cut out for me this year. Gotta call birds in for my wife, oldest son, myself and 2 other friends kids. Plus, try and get them all on video

That only adds up to 10 called in. My best season so far has been 9 called to the gun. And my 5 year old is gonna go a couple times I hope, to try and call in his first turkey,,we'll see...LOL..

Randy,   thanks for the offer. I'll definitely keep that in mind in the future. And your always welcome to head up this way. Spring is my busy time of year and I'm  somewhat limited other than a couple hours here or there. That's why I shoot my version of  moose dick, it's  in the picture. Usually try to get it done in a hurry.

Maybe meet at the state line next winter and see what we can come up with. I'd think we should be able to get a few coyote, if the mange is letting up.

BTW: do you really think those scrawny MO birds are big?  LOL

Good bird! 

Any Tom over the 25# mark is real good in my area . There's alway a few in the 28# range and the rare 30#  bragger, but if I had to guess most birds would weigh in  the 20-22# range. The bigger ones are usually shot in mid-April and  the late season mid-May ones might average 3 or 4#s l less.  We had alot of ice under snow this past winter. I assume the birds will be on the light side this spring.
