Turkey season is upon us!!

I just finished going over my gear-- screwing on broadheads, checking that my camo is weather-appropriate, filling my daypack with turkey calls and decoys, etc. Now I'm so excited, I don't think I can sleep! :eek:
Kansas has an archery-only season that lasts one week before shotgunners hit the woods. My wife and I can't go opening day (tomorrow), but we'll be ready for a quick hunt Wed evening-- the babysitter is already lined up!
Anybody else planning on taking to the turkey-woods this week?

Now I'm the one who's envious. This is the final weekend for Florida and only two weeks left in Georgia.
Oh well...the hogs will fill in nicely for awhile.

I've been chasin them around the LA swamps for over a week. Several close calls but no arrows flung yet. I've got an open invite to head to Kansas but don't know if I can get the time free to go. Good luck.

I have to wait until Sunday but really looking forward to the next two months. Gobblers, crappie, and morels. I love spring time!

Well, it's only 32 days to the turkey opener here in NH. I'll be shooting some practice this morning. But first I decided to check out my equipment for getting around in the woods this year:
If you look closely, you'll see my principal shooting lane just to the right of center. The block and the three hay bales are back there "somewhere." (Grateful to the wheelbow guys. If they weren't around, there wouldn't be enough business to keep the local shop open with its indoor range.

Season opened last weekend by this Saturday will be my first hunt. Set up some natural blinds a few weeks ago and saw several toms. Can't wait!

My season opens on the 21st of April here in Michigan. It can't get here fast enough. I keep seeing the birds strutting in the fields on nice sunny days!!

Opened today in the central / northern part of SC, foggy, wet, skitters ate me up, and narry a bird opened his mouth. I will have some bug spray tomorrow.
Biggie..."only two weeks left in GA"???? It's OK for you to quit early and leave some for the rest of us.

All geared up and ready to go. I will have my step son and my nephew out for the youth opener on April 12 and 13, but have to wait til the 15th for general season.
I bought a new decoy from this outfit:

Good luck to all.
