Last year in Bayou country. Headed that way again the first of April.
Great bird, congrats! I have friends that count down the days until season opens. One of them says 13 days and a wakeup!

Turkey hunting is an affordable man's elk hunt…gobbling and bugling.

I was sitting in the deer stand this morning and there were 3-4 just south east of me just hammering down. Didn't shoot a deer but I could sit and listen to that thunder all day!
Wow, I thought Alabama had a late ending season. Ours went out on Feb 10.

Florida goes until 26th. I thought AL was a little weird this year? Ending on a Friday? I went out the last weekend but couldn't make it back up again. My lease up there was a huge flop this year. I'll give it a try for turkey but I'm not holding my breath.

Let me know when season opens I will meet you there. Those are nice gobblers. I can wait.
Thanks

I've heard that from several people that hunt in south Alabama. Family member has lease in Tallapossa County and never laid eyes on a deer the whole month of December. They killed two bucks in late January and early February. Normally they kill several bucks and six or eight does. Strange season.

Too much snow still here in CO where I normally hunt turkey--- but we still have at least a month before the season even opens-- so you never know what the weather will do .....I've never had much luck if there was more than just patches of snow on the ground

My daughter got one monday. Was a little farther than I thought at 47yds, but this is longrange hunting forum, lol. Just glad to get her first bird. I wouldn't suggest 47yds with a 410 though, at least not a fixed full choke, we got lucky. Jebs or others would be better I'm sure, I just wanted a wider pattern to add some forgiveness.

South Dakota fall turkey season runs November 1st through the end of January. I hope to see some of the gobblers that this guy was hanging with when spring season opens on April 8th.
Had nine of them in the yard today stealing bird seed put out for the small birds. When they come back I'll get pictures. Couple of big long beards and hens.
