Heading up to my hunting grounds with my son today and tomorrow. . .

[Deerthug]

to set up my turkey blinds, trail camera and to do some scouting. I'm hoping to see some Toms in the fields. Have not been up since December for Muzzy season.

Yesterday afternoon I saw a huge... I mean a HUGE Tom strutting in the field and he had three hens with him. There were a few other jakes as well. I can't wait till opening weekend.

Now, that will get the blood pumping. Countdown 20 days.

Unfortunately there are no pictures of the big Tom Although I brought my camera with the telephoto lens, from where I was standing, this guy was way too far - about 450 yards away. I had my spotting scope and my Binos and even without them this guy was huge. I counted 3 hens and 2 jakes walking along with him.

Here is a picture of the field where he was strutting. The white dot is Mr. Tom. I'm standing on the deck of the house at about 450 - 500 yards away. My blind was set up about 200 yards to the left and off the picture.

But I did put together a little video of my blind set up and a shortened version of the video from last years spring turkey hunt.

Nice video. That looks like an awesome field.

Thanks. Hopefully this year's lead actor Mr Tom will be hanging upside down on a hickory limb at the end of the video.
