Good stuff Kurt! I was so looking forward to chasing spring turkeys with the Longbow but something came up, my son graduated from hunters ed yesterday so I transfered my tag to him! We hunt next weekend and then if he doesn't fill it, then we have the next Wed - Sun to try again!  This is going to be the best hunt of my life, I can't wait! We are ready!

Nice! Up in my neck of the woods I have not seen much activity yet. Our winter was a bit tough, I hope the birds did'nt get to beat up. We'll see soon enough.

That'll get you in the mood Curt!

Last night we watched a tom breed a hen down near the ponds behind our house.  About a half an hour later, the whole gang was right up close.  Three adult gobblers and half a dozen hens.  I applied for the area around home as my first choice, but drew a different area instead!   :banghead:    :banghead:   Sure would have been easier to walk out the back door.

That's cool Joe!  Glad that NY has statewide tags, must be tuff not being able to hunt close to home where you can really keep tabs on them.

Found these 3 fellas courting a couple hens in another spot that I've hunted in the past. First I've seen a turkey in this spot since last fall. But every year, for the last 6 years or so they show up in April.....

Doing much of the same Curt, unfortunately most of my "Watching" is on private land.  Numerous flocks with strutting toms and plenty of ladies.  

I need to find some hunting grounds around here, and the time from work to get out and put an arrow in something...

Best of luck to you this spring brother, and share with us your successes and them times when they give you the slip.

Best of luck to you too Jeff    :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:

Thanks Bill... you know I feel the same about sharing your stories and pix...always look forward to reading and looking bud    :notworthy:

Ok here's the results of this mornings scout....Another one of my perennial haunts....I was there two weeks ago and there wasn't a bird to be seen or heard...went back this past Sat. and was pleased to see two nice long beards...one obviously dominant over the other...I believe it was "Gilbert" from last year(almost had him the one time Cade and I hunted him).

This morning I saw these guys...three jake's and one long beard..I don't think it was "Gilbert"...but certainly not a bird I'll pass up....

 

 

I have another spot in mind for the morning...
