This time of the year , turkeys will gobble to the sound of just about anything loud. I remember them gobbling to  church bells , firehouse sirens , lawnmowers , jake brakes , car doors slamming and chainsaws just to name a few.

The gobble well to the horn on my 82 Honda 50 moped best turkey scouting vehicle ever!! Ride the ridge woods road and blow the horn!

I just saw this for my area also.  Should be cleared up by 5am in my area.  Sitting a ridge top between 4 fields.  Drops off to gullies on each side.

I fell for that gimmick (imo). I went back to a large rubber band.

Deluge + high winds in the morning here.  Looks like great weather after that though.

All day rain tomorrow in the forecast for me.  In preparation for rainy days I cleared out a spot in an abandoned cabin.  It has been there since before I was born.  The only thing left standing is one wall and the metal roof.  I have two windows to shoot out and I cleared shooting lanes and paced some landmarks last weekend.  I don't care for decoys, but will use them with this set-up since I can't run and gun.  The cabin is 150 yards above a hay field that the birds use a ton.  I should be in the game at least.  I will snap a picture if I manage to be successful.  If not, I like my odds for Saturday.

I use an elastic strap, rubber bands always seemed to rot and stick when I needed them off..

getting up early sucks. So I try to break it up. I have to hunt the opener, can't help myself. Planning on tomorrow and sunday. Both days are supposed to rain... but 2 4am days in a row, especially after a month of waking up at 8 is a tough task for my candy ass.

Your right about that. I also found a black one. They came in a two pack when I bought them. Good luck tomorrow.

Brother just called.  He's able to go in the morning with me. So we are going to try to knock a couple down.  Daughter will be back out Saturday and sunday.

I’m calling shenanigans. Even in this pandemic I’m saying you do not have a ponytail

This is what, I am trying to do also. I can go about 4 mornings of early wakeups and, I need a Break. I don't want to lose the day however. I set the Clock for 7am and try to be out just before 9am and hunt till 12 noon.

My problem is I can’t fall asleep early
