Nice pic.   We've got a little less white snot here, but still snowing.  

Planning on going out tomorrow morning and evening to hopefully get a lead on a couple for Saturday morning.

Ive been out scouting our spot for the last 2 mornings. Yesterday I saw 2 toms in the same field my daughter killed her bird in last year. The problem with that field this year, is that the corn was cut a couple months ago (farmer died and his kid cut it very late) and the stalks are really high, so its going to make for tougher visibility and shot opportunities. This morning there were 4 toms and 9 hens in the field next to that one. Im a little up in the air about where to setup Saturday morning. Ill scout once more tomorrow morning and see where they are at before I decide. Looks like it might be a great weekend though.

This mornings view.. wrap.those kids up or take a buddy heater with you

[WNYBuckHunter]

Stopped by the farm this morning. Same 4 toms out in the same field as yesterday. I know where we will be setting the blind up. Tomorrow morning looks to be pretty chilly. Gonna have to get a buddy heater or something.

one of my local flocks they spend all day in my neighbors pasture and roost in my wood lot. They’re safe from me until they start to split up. I can’t hunt them in the pasture and don’t like setting up on roosted birds.

Got up at 3:30. My scouting consisted of standing in friends driveway from 5 til 6:45. He never got up   Did hear gobbles off property. Guess no blinds being set up today. Pizzed off . Daughter  can’t hunt Sunday.

We’re waiting for the birds to go roost so we can set our blind. 3 big toms and 15 hens in the field. 

[WNYBuckHunter]

Not sure why they came out upside down

[turkeyfeathers]

That’s a lot of eyes in the morning. And a lot of hens.  You’re going to have a fun morning !! Good luck and enjoy building the memories.
