Man... I hope the weather holds up. I should be taking my little 8 year old nephew with me.

 

[mysticguido]

I hope the same drag... Tomorrow is my opening day of turkey season and I don't want to be sitting and getting all wet.

 

[icuhunt]

Same here. We wait all year for tomorrow and it's gotta rain on our parade. Is everybody still going to go out if there's heavy rain??

 

[mysticguido]

not me.... I don't like to hunt in the rain, plue I don't have a blind to sit in...

 

[Dragthor]

I'll be out as long as I can take it. I'll be sitting in the woods by 4:30 AM... I'm gonna start yelping loud around 6:30 or so.... if no response by 8... then I'm heading for the powerline clearings to try... then home.

 

[Dragthor]

weather for tomorrow morning = [down][down][down][down]

 

[mysticguido]

if the rain pattern stays the way it is now we should be ok.... I hope....

 

[JerseyFJ40]

I've got my fingers crossed!!

YOU CANT HARVEST THEM FROM THE COUCH. WATCH THE LIGHTNING. STAY LOW . TURKEYS SHOULD SHOCK GOBBLE WITH THE THUNDER. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE. STAY SAFE.[up]

 

[Spltlim]

keep your friction calls in a plastic baggie...calls + moisture = [sad]

 

[Dragthor]

Looks like me and the 8 year old are gonna brave the rain.

 

[JerseyJim]

Good luck Drag!!!!! Your gonna get wet from what the forcast says!

 

[Dragthor]

We just got back. We are soaked. We saw one hen and heard one gobbler around 9 - 9:30 (after the torrential downpour). Again we soaked. The little guy stuck through it with me. [mad]

 

[Spltlim]

he drag were there any other hunters out

 

[mysticguido]

No luck for me too well there is Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and every Saturday till May 24th....Bring on the Birds Please

 

[Dragthor]

No other hunters were out... just me, the little guy, and a lot of rain.

However, we still had fun. We saw a squirrel, two deer, a hen, and heard/talked to a gobbler.

The gobbler was definitely not "really" into it... you could tell by his voice and lack of excitement.

 

[mysticguido]

I was out and got soaked like a river rat.

 

[Dragthor]

Looks like 3 turkeys in the woods today: me, the little guy, and mystic.

 

[DBuck]

I went out,harvested a 14 lb Jake, 5 inch beard. I know that it isn't a great bird but this is the first bird that I called in myself,and I called him from a good distance. I only started hunting turkey 3 years ago and I didn't get out much last year,I shot a bird my first year out but my cousin called it for me,man it was exciting I was shaking like a leaf in the wind as it got closer. Man,what a great morning!!!!!!

I think that I was the only hunter out in zone 9,I didn't see any other hunters on any of the state land that I was hunting.

 

[JerseyJim]

Monday will be my first ever turkey hunt! I can't wait! I took a walk in my hunting area today and walked up on a good looking tom! I am pumped! [up]
