Stock up on beers folks. - Blizzard warnings for Buffalo and Tug hill areas. First big lake effect of the year it seems. They are saying 5-9 inches around my house. But 1/2 hr north 2-4 feet, 2" per hour snowfall and 40-45mph winds. Yikes - Stay safe folks https://www.localsyr.com/news/local-news/alert-lake-effect-snow-warnings-issued-ahead-of-long-duration-snow-event/

Should I do trail cams? Def don't want to get busted there. Being opening day is a Friday the closest I would be able to scout is the Sunday before.

The field def goes downhill. At the top of the field it is surrounded by fields behind that. I think they roost about mid way on the slope in some pines. This spot is about 1/2 hour away but might try a scouting trip for a morn in late April. Good idea. And the owner gives me a "turkey call" now and again to let me know they are out in the fields. lol Actually last year i was coming out from my first spot that was across the road ( i can hunt one spot across the road and to the far right (not in these pics if landowners son isnt out there) and saw a turkey out in the field by middle marker. So i cut way around and he kept going field to field and i was tailing him and he stopped and strutted in this field where i got him. Three years ago i sat in this field and had a roosted gobbler in the woods. He was gobbling back at me but I also could hear a hen. And yup about 8 oclock on the other side of woods "boom". That "hen" was another hunter. But since then havent seen or heard other hunters. I have seen them turkeys in this field a few times before but have seen them in most all the fields in the area. Hoping i hit them roosted nearby.

Damn Pygmys girlfirends!

the top blue marker on map is where i expect turkeys to come out of (also where i have a treestand). I will be sitting just to the right of that on that curve and the farm will be behind me to the right.

yeah lots of turkeys out in those far fields but...... cant hunt over there. damn it. There is a road in between as well.

This pic is looking down the field from opposite end. Will be looking to sit in that bottom with the woods to my left . I can setup anywhere on the field edge but thought being between the woods and farm turkeys would help? You can kinda see the farm below too. Was thinking of setting up by those couple of scraggly trees at the middle bottom of field

I don't have permission to hunt the woods but I can def hunt the edge of it. Line is just inside the woods. I have the whole huge green field to hunt though. There is a gully there I think I can set up on at the bottom of the field and be real concealed and be able to just shoot over the edge of it and have the woods to my top left. Yeah was wondering if those turkeys would be used to the farm turkeys and just ignore my calls or if it would help fire them up. Those turkeys at the farm are pretty vocal.

I'll have prob 4-5 farm turkeys behind me about 300 yards. Directly behind me a little runoff and gully to the field edge. Then be sitting on the field edge with woods to my front left about 100-150 yards away. There are a lot of big pines in there and I am real sure they roost in there. Was hoping to get them out in that field in between the farm turkeys and the woods. Just thinking they might be fired up and strut out in that field cause there are turkeys so close.?

Was gonna put out a hen. Prob just past me towards the farm. So they are looking that way and pass from my left to right. Will try some soft calls. Thinking maybe if they think a hen is closer then might try to get to it before they think farm birds might.

Ok so someone besides Bill has to start a turkey thread. I have a unique situation this year. There is a small farm next to where I turkey hunt and they now have a few turkeys. So where I got a turkey opening day last year, I plan on setting up between where the woods is and where the turkeys are on the edge of a big green field. Last year I snuck up on one out in that field but this year gonna setup there. So with turkeys about 300 yards behind me at the farm and the woods about 100 yards in front of me I am hoping to catch them coming out to strut in the field. Dunno if I should even call or just let them get fired up on their own? Maybe a little calling and let them get fired up to come out and strut. Or do they even get fired up from farm birds?

CDC is saying be prepared for a probable/possible out break here. Prob should always have 2 weeks of food avail anyway at home. Looks like it's not that bad and a flulike illness. But the issue is quarantines. If they have to quarantine large areas like China is at some point it's a big issue for the economy. Dow down another 850 today. Ouch. Just think if they decided to quarantine NYC....and all our work places were closed for a month. Prob won't happen but not out of the realm of possibility.

Years ago I dropped 120 pounds in two years. One of the exercises I used was a stationary bike and I actually bought videos of trail walks to watch. I was ahead of my time. Lol But in the winter it was nice to do. Trails in Hawaii and rainforests or pine forests. They were about 45 min long and I would plan to workout for the entire time on the bike for the trail video then do other exercises after.

I don't think they hit anyone and get suspended but can see a throw behind. They are sure gonna face a lot of boing this year. Maybe it actually brings them together , but surprised more wasn't done. A lot of players not too happy about it .

Sox will be good this season. No easy win in the division either way. Esp with all the Yanks injury issues. I like when the red Sox are good. It makes the rivaly better.

Just thinking the very first game first pitch opening day wouldn't be surprised if they throw behind first batter. And I don't think they win 95 but make the playoffs.

do the Angels throw at Astros for the first pitch of the opener? Maddon says no. But maybe a throw behind the player?

and a plastic barrel??? lol. Cause thats what wins championships!

going by lease today there is a buck in the ditch that was hit. No horns but can see where he had them. Fairly good size deer. Hate to see that and hope it isnt one of my better ones there.

Ruebens are equally as good.

hopefully warmer weather will also help kill it off like the flu

i need to do this. Not a music guy. But dont have unlimited on my phone. Was figuring when i get a new truck with tech in it to hook to will be in for this.

Maybe you should do the 1000 lbs of bear club. Since you have the bear take for the whole region locked up.
