What is everyone's plans for this season ? I will be just hunting close to home in MI this year like I usually do. I would like to eventually have a shot at a Merriam's some day.

I've knocked on a few doors this year and all I have gotten is a firm NO WAY from all of them.
Since most of the turkeys in the unit that I am hunting are on private land I'll need to knock on a few more doors but the prospects don't look good.
Other than that I'll take a hike up a draw with a few other hunters who will undoubtedly be hunting it also.

Not sure if I will hunt yet but my youngest will for sure. I found him what appears to be decent private land to hunt on so I have high hopes for the youth opener - April 10th.

I will be sitting under a tree Saturday and Sunday morning.
It will be hard to top last year. But we will try.
I brushed my lucky "Styrofoam bitches" off yesterday. lol

Our season opens the 27th. Just got back from scouting with my girls. Saw 8 Toms this evening. We are lucky to live around and have access to great turkey habitat .
Cant wait to see them stories post. Turk hunting is a great way to get kids outdoors

Probably just here in Indiana again for me. I haven't decided for sure on spring bear, if I do head out west I'll likely add a turkey tag in the mix.

I'll be out every chance I get here in OR. Busy time of year, but I have a spring bear and a turkey tag that need a couple notches in them

Started a new job a month or so I'll limit my vacation time for this spring. Will hunt Western Kansas for early archery season, before Missouri opens up. Have a friend coming in from out of state to try his hand at turkey hunting, will spend a few days calling for him.
My boy is about 3 and a half, if we get nice weather, may take him out for a morning or two.
It's almost here!!

I'll be staying local here in PA. Dad had 5 bypasses done a few weeks ago, so I'm hoping he will be healed up enough to hit the mountains by the start of the season. Signs of Spring are just starting to happen as I'm seeing birds more often and some strutting going on. Some people have heard some gobbles already, but I haven't yet; although haven't been out to besides one morning 2 weeks ago.

Tough hunting Saturday and Sunday. High winds, cool temperatures. Didn't even hear a bird Saturday. Sunday I heard a bird and tried to close the distance but he only gobbled three times on the roost. Sat there until 11:00 waiting him out to try and relocate him then threw in the towel. The wind was really howling...
This weekend appears to be cool with rain and wind for both sat and sun....I'll give it a whirl again and see what happens. I might go to my hog spot and try to do a dual purpose hunt this time....

Lookin' like MT for me this year, hopefully! Probably Wyoming general as well. I dropped the ball on Iowa and didn't get my app in on time. Figured I could pick up a leftover... yeah right! Shoulda known better.

I actually like it- I have called quite a few toms in during 20+MPH winds. I find they come in much easier IF you can get close enough for them to hear.

There is always OTC Nebraska as well if you want another state to hunt.
I know, I mean to do that one every year and just run out of time. It's on my list for sure!

Lot of turkeys here but not much public land to hunt them on. If a guy does his research it can be a great hunt though.
