I went out to the truck this AM, about 8, and saw 4 turkeys on the hill behind the house. Probably an 80 yard shot.

Good luck!
Opening day in TN was last Saturday but, conflicts keep me from hunting. Went this morning but, it was 37 degrees and not a peep (gobble) was heard.
Saw one about 400 yards away. Called for air support but, the misty rain/snow mix had everything grounded.
Tomorrow is another day and it is supposed to warm up to the low 40's!

Good luck...
We gotten two nice birds from the same blind this season so far.

My hunt starts the 18th and a second tag for May 2. We really enjoy the Turkey hunts here too. We still have 10" of snow on the ground here and the Toms are really hungry now with the long Winter here. We had 4 long beards eating out of our backyard feeder yesterday.....when that happens, they are really hungry to be that bold.
Good Luck to all the hunters!

Same here, no gobbles.....did see a couple of hens yesterday before the rain started.
Temps dropped and still raining today, so I stayed home where it's warm and dry.

MISSED GOOSE -TURKEY- DEER LAST SEVERAL SEASONS
because of a few procedures the last 2 years, iv'e have not hunted/ harvested any game. restricted from even going bass/ musky fishing. i think our turkey season started the 1st. of the month. leaving to the dentist at 7:30 am the other am monday, spotted 17 turkey, the 4 long beards, jakes and seveal hens together down on the corner lot feeding. i'm thinking of useing the wifes 410 down the coldersac, the 3 1/2" 12 ga. i will let set i wouldn't take a shot over 15 yds. when the 4 beards would walk down the street in the morning during the summer, i would hold my stomach binder and a weird cough would come out, they would stop and gobble at me, i'd cough, and they would gobble. so for the turkey hunters that have their shotgun aimed at a turkeys head, try the stomach cough and see if it stops. when i sold that H&R 10 ga./ 36" inch barrel, wished i kept it, other day found a box of 10 ga. 3 1/2" copper turkey shells checking the ammo. knowing there are members that have restrictions on the forum, we all want to pick a rifle, shotgun or a fishing rod, some of my best naps have been in the woods hunting. once, sitting on the ground, maybe 1/2 way up a hill, perfect point of 3 hollows coming together, i woke up, legs crossed, shoulders on the ground, shoulders asleep, couldn't move, but my 1st. concern was checking the hollow below me, took a while to sit up, arms still asleep, couldn't pick up the 35 if i had to. hope this put a smile on a few faces of past hunts. didn't think it would be so LSS. everyone have a good weekend. take care. glad i get to read the members threads and replys.

I have enough trouble using a 3 1/2" 12 gauge.

Like I told a friend I was introducing to the sport "taking naps are a part of turkey hunting." I hope you can get back at it soon.

That brings back memories. I tried to call in a tom for my Dad in 04. He died of cancer later that same year. On a more positive note: CONGRATULATIONS!

I like to shoot them with a game camera. They can be fun to watch.
