Title: Anyone else completely itching to get out there!
Post by: jblackburn on March 10, 2014, 05:40:43 PM
OG is not helping my productivity at work today!  It is just over a month until the opener here and I am jonesing to get out there!

The south Florida guys and their dead turkeys and green leaves make me jealous!  :character0029:

I've got 109hrs left. I have my blinds set up, have ID'ed at least 8 long beards on my place with cameras. Birds are still flocked as of last Saturday but I did hear 2 gobble off roost Sunday and one on ground close to one of my setups. Trying to stay calm as the birds at my previous place handed me my tail last year with similar preseason situation. They appear so patternable until you step into the woods with a gun. Hoping I can get us off to a good start early.

Good luck with them birds. Gotten several reports that they are beginning to gobble here in S.E. Mo. Had 4 of my students tell me this morning they heard 5 plus.

6 Very long weeks to go yet!  I always hate this time of year when I have to sit up here in this still frozen and snow covered area I call home and have to watch those southern boys post up all them dead turkeys!  Only good thing is when they are mostly done, I'm just starting. A little bit of pay back I guess. I'm so ready to go NOW!

There's 45 days 17 hrs and 26 minutes until 6AM on opening day. The gobblers are just now starting to gobble a little in WV. It can't get here fast enough.

Last weekend of the month for us in TN. Youth hunt next weekend, that will help a bit with the "when is it going to get here" anxiety.  :camohat: Until then I'll take all of my turkey toasters out to the range and "blast" a bunch of tutkey targets.  :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright:
Try it it helps !!  :dancingturkey:

Well tomorrow it begins. Cameras are showing birds have broken up so hope for lots of gobbling tomorrow morning. Rain moving in later in day so I may get wet this weekend.

The itch is kinda getting scratched, the Mo youth season starts Saturday and I get to take a young man on a hunt. We've found some birds and going to put them to bed tomorrow night and try to make something happen. If we whack one I'll put up a pic.
