MO Turkeys heating up!
« on: March 13, 2012, 04:45:00 PM »
For the last 4 days the birds have been giving me & the wife & kids quite a show! The big Toms are struting & fighting while the Jakes hang back & learn.
When the hens move there taking the boys right with them. I've seen this act before & by the time our season opened it was all over & the hunting was tuff to say the least!
I hope things stay good, at least through the first week of the season?

Hey, Ryan! I live just 3 miles west of Fair Grove and I heard my first tom gobble this past Saturday. I went out to get the paper and my dogs started barking at me. Made an old longbeard shock gobble one time down behind the house. Sure got me excited!

I just came in from roosting birds.21 roosted less than 700 yards from my door step. One of them is a very cool looking smoke faze hen and 4 big strutters. The rest of them are jakes and hens.Unfortunately our season does not open until April 23rd.  :banghead:  Its going to be a long month and a half.

It's bamboo backed bow, cane arrows, Gorilla blind, and big ol' toms this year in SW Missouri. I'm just a little anxious!

If it stays like this I'm wondering if the season will be a bust. Way too late. Neighbor around Steelville said they were gobbling last weekend down that way.
