The season in my state (Texas) has been over for only 11 days and I am already having withdrawals. Does anybody else  have the same problems.  Already I am thinking of statagies for next year. Its only 11 months and 20 days away. Can't wait.

It's rough, Our SC season went out 5-1 and me and a good buddy made a last minute OOS hunt to ease the DT's.....was a great time and we brought back 2 birds....now the real withdrawals begin.

I'm with you guys. If I could afford it. I would hunt every day somewhere until all the seasons were over.Here in Mi. we get one tag. I was fortunate enough to get mine on opening morning. April 22nd.but now I'm about to go crazy.Small game season doesn't open til Sept.15th. Whats a poor boy to do. Them groundhogs that raid my garden better lookout ,I think I hear one gobbling.

Its rough! In a week I'll start to slip in to a deep state of depression that can only be slightly numbed by buying more turkey hunting gear that i don't need lol

Been tagged out here since 5-2 and a long time till next year. Today is our last day and I got out this morning and drove to this field and sat in vehicle for about an hour--well at 8:00 decided to leave and was driving down this path leading out and this pine thicket on my left and a 500 acre pasture to my right and as I was slowly moving along, looked to my left, about 20 yds ahead and catch a glimpse of movement and there was a huge gobbler, a jake, and hen moving slowly alone into the pine thicket. I get even with them and come to complete stop, and they just stand there looking at vehicle...no more than 15 yds. from me. the tom is one of biggest birds I have seen...dead or alive. Watched him walk away, stopping every few steps and looking back..at least 10-12 inch beard and I would guess 21 to 24 lbs. What was so impressive was his height and large head...wish I had got a picture and I did with phone camera but he was getting so far away that is not plain. But what a memory to live with till next year. Chances are he will make it through this season it being the last day. Have not seen this bird all year--never knew there was one of this size on this property.

Road trip up north.  Pa and NY go out at the end of May.  Lots of public ground.
