    I looked through several pages and didn`t see a thread started yet...

    Any wild turkey hunters? Have you been out scouting yet? Are you seeing much activity that could be seen as breeding activity? Much gobbling?

    I've been watching a tom strut for the ladies since the beginning of March. Saw quite a few out on my drive home yesterday. I'm hoping for a good year at the cabin. I may actually leave the yard this year. Normally I just call and pour a cup of coffee. Have a sit on my picnic table. The yard is a daily stop to the flock.

    Just took the Mossberg 500 wearing a Carlson turkey choke out to pattern some ammo I just picked up.
    Number 5 shot seemed to have a nice, heavy, consistent shot pattern at 35 yards.
    I could probably stretch these out to 45 yards, but I'll try that on paper, before the season starts.

    I installed a Hawke turkey scope and a home made cheek rest on my Benelli SBE II a few days ago. Waiting for warmer weather before taking the beating of sighting it in. This may be my last year behind a 12 gauge.

    It's been rocking and rolling down here. I'm ready.
    They've been carrying on the last month or so around here. The Boss heard a couple of them this morning that were so close she could hear them over the tv. As we were coming up the drive this afternoon 3 big toms along with several hens were in the woods in front of the house.

    Tried a bunch on public land over the years. Reserved hunts, draws etc. never did have any luck. Turkeys have been my Achilles heel- the one thing I’ve hunted hard and had zero success with. Had a shot at some private land with a friend this year and was hoping to give it a go again but he just had shoulder surgery so he’s out this year. The turkeys win again
