Beautiful morning in the spring turkey woods. Birds gobbling everywhere, had 2 get to within at least 75 yards but never laid eyes on them. Moved in a small overgrown drainage ditch between two freshly tilled/planted corn fields for midday.
Slept in. Had a great encounter opening morning in the woods at 40-50 yards, just couldn’t get a shot. Saturdays afternoon and all day Sunday, nothing but silence. Taking the day off to recoup and prepare for the rest of the week, get a few things done around the house.
Going to check cameras Thursday. Buddy nearby has had a lone gobbler on camera a week ago, and a strutter following two hens yesterday around noon. This is in Marion Co. This week will get them going!

We got a new member of the house last Friday when some employees at Jim Beam found a lab curled up in a ditch against the fence and brought them into my wife’s animal clinic where she works. He had a tick in his ear and I wondered the same thing, always thought this time of year was too cold for...
No pics but I got an electric hand warmer that will also charge USB devices, and some money/gift cards towards KY gun co. Unsure yet what that will go to but I’m sure I’ll find something.
Looking for some advice here. I have hunted the same farm for years and absolutely love the place. I started saving 5 years ago for the “what if” of ever buying the place came up. The landowner(widow) is getting older, and has 5 sons(2 live with her).
I would like to convey the message to them...
