Been scouting for a few weeks. Not much gobbling once they hit the ground!! Been watching 5 different birds so things are looking good as long as the youth hunt didn't bugger them up.

Going to try to hit the opener. But if the weather is 1/2 way decent at camp it's a working weekend so maybe some old WMA I had luck in the past on. haven't heard much gobbling but seen a few fans & hens in fields.

Well today I watched as my favorite blind was taken off line ....Heard the gobbles and a bit later got out binocs and spied a Tom ...jake and 2 hens....in a strutting zone...then they milled around a bit and the Jake left...the two hens started moving off toward the blind area and about an hour later I glassed the woods and caught movement...they both ...within 40yrds of each other had nested behind the blind...The Tom was hanging out... off a ways..

I am now going to have to go out tomorrow morning before light.... if weather permits.... to see where they are flying down and what direction they are moving in from....I've taken a few birds from that blind area.....sly devils :'(

Been scouting hard in Pa and NY. They are henned up as expected this time of year. Just this week I have been seeing hens by themselves, away from the flock. It's on, starting in Pa on Saturday and then headed to NY on Sunday.

Well  today was the first good morning we've had around here...Toms gobbling near and far....couple of early morning shot guns went off as well > ....I sat with the favorite blind between me in the shooting house and our house and this is what I saw this morning......Now if the early morning shooting around here stops...I may get a bird before Mid to late May...May first really can't get here fast enough now ;D ....I know what direction some of them are traveling from and I think 2 nesting areas....Favorite blind will be off line...they were there again today when I was able to start back home...Oh well more turkeys for the future ..worth it

I stopped at a couple of places on the way in to work this morning, just to listen and watch from a distance. I ended up seeing 2 jakes and a hen and heard 2 gobbles in the woods. I know just where Ill be Sunday morning!
