Opening Day Turkey Season !!

[roundball]

Hunted til noon, never heard a gobble all morning, never saw a beard...had 4 big healthy hens ease out of the treeline into a little 2 acre green field I was sitting...about 40-50 yards away foraged around the field for about 30 minutes before easing back off into the treeline...but there wasn't a beard with them.

Heard 5 separate shots off in the distance on neighboring properties around me, but yours truly had no Flintlock to clean

Glad your after them roundball! Our Indiana season opens the 22nd. I worked up a good load for my New Englander after alot of work. Can't wait to get after those Thunder-chickens like you! Best of luck. :thumbsup:

It was calm and quiet this morning...sitting the edge of a small green field where I'd seen 4 hens Saturday...hoped they'd be back with a Tom in tow.
At first light I heard one gobble a few hundred yards away, deep back in the woods that are adjacent to the field...answered back but no response.
A few minutes later around 7:15 he gobbled again, answered him again, and never heard another sound...maybe he had hens with him by then.
At 9:30, a hen went flying over the treetops where I was sitting...left at noon.

Seeing them is 1/2 the battle!

Good luck!
