Good luck and be safe hunting to all the hunters getting out tomorrow and this season. Post your pics and county you got your bird.

Looks like some potentially fun weather opening day. Good luck!!!

First time in many years I'll miss the opener. Good luck all.

I'll pass tomorrow, have paying work and it will probably be raining.

I'm planning on going out Friday morning.

Before heading out to the woods I would suggest copious amounts of anti tick repellant as a preemptive strike. I made a couple of short walks in the woods in the last couple of days looking for mushrooms. Didn't find any mushrooms but discovered I'd brought home a veritable menagerie of the little bastards.

Maybe this weekend. Too much going on tomorrow, and my foot isn't healed up enough.
Good luck whoever heads out!

Lots of gobbling this morning. The responded from the roost to some light purring. 3 different birds all the same direction come in to about 70 yards and wouldn't come any closer. Probably had hens with them.
They gobbled all morning to my calls.
Had 2 birds sneak in from behind me as I was working the one that had been gobbling all morning. They didn't make a sound.
10" beard and 1" spurs.
Turkey nuggets YUMMMMMM

BossHoss,
Congratulations on the nice Tom, I was able to get out in the woods for a few hours this morning and didn't hear any birds. I went to a spot where I had heard 3 different birds on Sunday morning. I was out by Putnamville and everything was quiet in the woods today. Where about where you hunting?

Crawford County.
Half mile from Patoka Lake.

Sorry, tried to edit post and double posted somehow...

I really am floored at how stupid people can be. The dumbass actually shot the decoys from across the field, stalked them, and shot again? Unbelievable!

 

[IndyLongColt]

Tried this morning till about 11AM...quite a bit of random gobbling, nothing would come in today.....

How can people be this stupid?? Unless he was using a mounted "real" turkey for a decoy how can a plastic decoy be mistaken? I would be curious as to how far away he shot at the decoy?

My hunting partner and I doubled this morning. Spent four frustrating days in Kentucky then came back Tuesday night and got frustrated Wed & Thu here. Part of the issue is the unseasonably warm weather we've had, the other is the ridiculously late season. Toms were strutting, gobbling and breeding hens a month ago. DNR keeps this up we'll have to choose between going to watch the Indy500 or going turkey hunting.

Going out tomorrow for the first time this year. Bunch of birds in the area according to the trail cams. Just need one to cooperate tomorrow so I can try to shop its head off

I had some luck up here in St. Joe County. I didn't get a chance to weigh him, but a nice 10.1" beard, 1.2" spurs.
The kids get to eat this week!!

Got soaked in Lawrence Co. Birds hammered for about 15 minutes and then shut up. Season has been coming in too late as long as we have had a season. Drove around once the rain set in and did not see a single bird in the fields. A month ago on a rainy day I would have seen 100 on the same loop. Doing it again tomorrow.

Got my first turkey on Thursday morning! It was just a jake, but I'm happy!

Got it in Orange county, on some private ground bordering Patoka lake.
