So how late is too late in everyone's opinion?  I've hunted opening week and mid season, but never hunted "damn nearJune".  Is the last few days too late, or should I try to shuffle some dates around and get back out sooner? 

Never too late.  That being said, I'd try and get out the 22nd, or thereabouts.

I think I'd prefer that anyway. Made my post before even looking at the calendar... or having any idea what today's date was for that matter!    

This working every other day thing has got me so screwed up, I never know what day it is, it always feels like Friday or Saturday.  Which is wonderful.

I’ve had some great hunts the last week of may

Not official yet, but there are whispers about @Biz-R-OWorld hunting tomorrow morning before work. Given that the sun rises in the east, I would suggest that you all set your alarms extra early and tune in!

EDIT - anyone else having log in issues with phone/tapatalk? forum works fine with computer but on tapatalk it keeps saying i am not logged in when i am.

I shot a huge bodied buck over there about 12 year ago last day of gun season it had already shed its antlers the scabs on his head showed that he had huge bases.

Latest I ever killed is May 30th and it was extremely gratifying.  
 

Sadly I missed a big Tom on the last day one year.....the exact opposite of gratifying.

I think May 30th is the latest I have killed a tom in NY..However, I have killed  a few on the final day of several out of state hunts...The last day I had to hunt, not the last day of season..

On the other hand, I can remember at least two that I missed on my final day of hunting in Ontario..

Woke up at 2:45 and just decided may as well stay awake. Gonna give it hell this morning. Whew, spring turkey is tough

[Pygmy]

Good luck, GC...I'm taking a friend out this this morning.... It sure is clear and still out there....  We should be able to hear them if they are doing it..

Hummingbird feeder juice frozen as I peer out back window drinking my coffee. Turned off alarm thinking how it’s supposed to be fun hunting spring turkey.  No gobbles heard with daughter lately  and freezing cold and her being tired doesn’t sound fun to me for her.  Hard pass on today.

Had the alarm set for 4:20 and was going to setup in a local spot.. Alarm never went off because it was set for tomorrow and around 5 my 4yr. old asked if I would come lay down in his bed.
I will try again tomorrow but we'll wait for it to warm up a bit and hit the creek for some smallmouth this afternoon.

Are they definitely turkeys?  Could they be turkey vultures?

[ApexerER]

Man, you guys are slow learners....I learned what I was doing on 5/1, took my first gobbler on 5/2, tagged out on 5/3....If anyone needs lessons I am here for you....

Oh Idk they are pretty brownish and pretty big. You may be right , I’m not much of a turkey hunter .

Definitely can't tell from your pic, but I've had tom's stay on roost for hrs after normal fly down, and not utter a peep.
