looks like a good spot.
I like it cause it's convenient that last bare closest to. The turkey symbol is my house took me five years to convince the owner to let me hunt she agreed after I told her i would repair her fence and keep trespassers away last year my little girl who was three at the time was messing with my push call on the back porch while I was practicing and a bird fired off should have seen the look on her face I have called them into my back yard but never went after them but now I got hunting rights nothing can save them

That's good of her. You can't beat having land that close.
I got home from work this afternoon and decided to take the girlfriend for a little spin threw the mountain to see if I saw any Turkey's. We came around the mountain and I eased into one of my pastures, over in the far corner feeding, were 4 mature Gobblers. We watched them for a few minutes and they eased up into the woods out of site. They all looked like respectable birds, hope they hang around close by, till the end of April. I have saw several birds over the last couple weeks, think it is going to be a good season.
Got in from the boat last night got up this morning fixing coffee heard one fire off in the backyard set in the deck after he moved on so I didn't want to spook hit the box call a few times had 3 different birds gobble

That's good to hear.. I haven't heard a gobble since season came in.. But today I was out looking for signs pretty hard, well I saw the one that I will be hunting in the morning the bad thing about it is he was surrounded by 12 hens.. I just hope the start getting vocal.
Had one gobbling at the house the other day but haven't heard one since

Seen 6 big gobblers yesterday evening headed to roost about 7pm
I'm listening to one right now, gobbled probably 25 times since day break.. Only problems are the property line and a pile of hens in the field.
Saw two strutters just down the road from my house this am. First birds I've saw around there since we moved there two years ago.
A few pics I got off my camera on my farm today.

I have another one that decided he wants to play a little in the morning.
Here is another pic off of the camera from the woods adjoining my upper pasture. I counted 18 birds in the field across the road the other morning heading to work, saw them again yesterday. I saw one Strutter in the bucnch and possibly may have been another.
