Turkey Hunting

[mulepackin]

Has anyone had any luck yet? I had today scheduled off and was planning on a three day hunt, but we've had snow all week (new record accumulation last Sun. of 15 inches, and record cold Monday morning of -8 degrees) more snow and now rain predicted today and the weekend, so opted not to go. My area has terribly bad gumbo mud, and only two track roads, if I had gone, I might still be there come elk season. I'm getting pretty stir crazy with the cabin fever to be sure.

Here in Michigan up in thumb I seen 3 birds taken. 1 went 24 lbs maybe a 6 inch beard, young fellow got 1 9 3/4 inch beard and his dad got one while we was standing around waiting for more beer and 2:30 in the afternoon and his went 10 inches. If they took anymore I am not sure I havent been out looking since Monday.

I went out but couldn't get any to walk into our blind. But since then everytime I go down my road they are everywhere. When your ready for them, they are not in range or visible. When you busy or unarmed they are everywhere. Once though this week I had a few mixed in with my cows and calves. Thats my luck, The one time I was armed, they were in range and identafiable and I didn't have a clean shot. I must be getting old.

Sounds like davidmcg should start hunting like travcoman45 he's having better luck anyway. Did you keep the bird trav there mighty tasty.
Heard on the radio here in ohio on opening there where 2700 taken.
They said it was a record opening day.
