Congrats!

That's a great story. Thanks for sharing! Congrats.

I don't see any issue at all here. He approached you to see what your plans were, what more could you ask for. Maybe he was planning to hunt there all along and you screwed up his hunt. It's public land, he didn't even have to check in with you but he chose to be an ethical hunter and make sure you weren't going to be hunting on top of each other. I'd say that's good in my book. As far as you being mad at him because he is a "cheap dork", well grow up. Not everyone can afford a truck and high dollar camo. I drive my civic into the woods on occasion and buy camo from the bargain cave at cabelas, what does that make me?

Great pictures. I'm hoping that the rough weather will help us with second season tags for this Friday. We will see.

Congrats Adam! Glad to see the wind didn't affect you too much.

Great Job!

What a bummer. At least you got to shoot at something. It would make sense to ban shooting them in the roost.

Nice job. Welcome.

Anybody up there having any luck yet? What are you seeing or hearing?

So how is everyone doing out there in the rain and wind? I'm anxiously waiting for success stories and pictures.

I found this while doing some Google Earth scouting. This is in the middle of forest service land. Any idea what would cause these perfect square tree formations and the gap in the middle? Looks to be man made, but for what purpose?

I just picked up a Wilson Sleek 4g brand new in the box from ebay for $75 delivered. There are deals to be had on there for the Wilson cell boosters. I've heard nothing but good things about them.

Congrats!

It's my experience that Verizon is the best pretty much anywhere in the state. Every time we go out I never have service and have to borrow a phone from a friend to call and check in with the wife. I have AT&T, friends are all on Verizon.

That's awesome. Congrats.

Came straight from the wildlife manager in the unit. I talked to him this morning. Said they were all congregated in the southern portion of the unit. He said he's checked tanks over the past week in areas further north that usually have good populations and saw little to no sign. I talked to a couple guys who hunted the youth hunt that pretty much confirmed it. Not sure if it's weather or what, but it's happening.

Another question to think about is this… With the dry warm winter, I've heard the turkeys are mostly still in the lower sections or winter ranges. Will the rain cause them to move into the areas they typically are in this time of year? That is the question.

Last year for opening day it started snowing up in 6A. Completely shut them up. I wasn't able to cut tracks in the snow in an area I knew they were, so I'd assume they were staying put. I don't really have any advice, just my experience from last year.

Congrats. Sounds like you guys had a blast!

That sounds like a blast. Good luck on your Gould's hunt.

Congrats! It seems like they're really quieting down, so good luck.

That's a beast.

Awesome pictures. Congrats. Thanks for sharing.

Yep. 6A. Interesting idea. Didn't think of that one.
