So I either have no life, or am entirely hooked. Actually counted it out on the calendar and there is 121 more days until turkey season...

Me too, though I didn't count. Actually, on the east side late fall season ends today. I killed a hen on the 2nd with my bow.

Can't wait till spring season again. My daughter will actually be old enough to carry a shotgun this year, hopefully.

I'm going to hunt for the first time this coming year. Should be a learning experience.

I have been thinking about the spring season too for a couple weeks now! I have not harvested one yet, but it is alot of fun to try!

Yeah, I came across some big gobbler tracks while hunting grouse on the west side last week. Got my blood boiling for April 15. Not ready to start the compulsive scouting just yet, but I'm getting close.

I think if you catch it early enough, they make a cream

I was looking at some of my pics today. Pulled up some turkey hunting pics, and it got me thinking

Will be time to smack some thunder birds, in no time at all.

I know I'm ready for the season, I can already hear those yelps and gobbles

turkeyfeather · « **Reply #8 on:** December 24, 2010, 06:34:29 AM »

I know what you guys mean. I found myself staring at the turkey calls yesterday at the store, and trying to decide shotgun or bow. I have gotten a bird with both, but I think its more fun to slap it upside the head with lead.

I would love to go get a tom! I can get on some land in the blues if someone wants to go, maybe give me some pointers! I have never done it

mossy8352 · « **Reply #10 on:** December 24, 2010, 03:11:27 PM »

Have not also counted the days but I know it is going to happen. Got my first turkey during the late season and hope to smoke it before long. It should be good and will only make me want to go again and get another one or two. I am going to drive the wife nuts with practice calling but she puts up with it.

HoofsandWings · « **Reply #13 on:** January 01, 2011, 11:17:35 AM »

Ordered my spring turkey tags today. I am all set for the opener.

104 days until the opener, which is on a Friday this year.

newbie · « **Reply #14 on:** January 02, 2011, 10:51:06 PM »

got my first one this past spring, called him in and blew his head off at about 15 feet away, the coolest thing I've done in a long time

carpsniperg2 · « **Reply #15 on:** January 02, 2011, 11:08:51 PM »

2011 should be a good year! Can't wait tell its time to knock down some thunder chickens!

BushMonster · « **Reply #16 on:** January 02, 2011, 11:33:15 PM »

Yes, me too. Got the turkey itch too. Planning on a new blind and other gear. Will also go on an Eastern hunt back in KS or MO, maybe both if I'm lucky. The plan here is to go with the shotgun for #1, then take my daughter out for her first hunt as well using a bow.

turkeydancer · « **Reply #17 on:** January 07, 2011, 12:15:49 PM »

Pa Ben :

Whitenuckles · « **Reply #20 on:** January 12, 2011, 03:43:46 PM »

3 months is way to long.... If I'm losing sleep over it already, who knows what the wait is going to do to me in a month or 2 from now? Its almost like it gets worse every year!

It finally hit me last night. i pulled out the cabelas catalog and bass pro shops catalog and went to town. plus it was a marathon of turkey hunting shows while this was occurring. Ended up ordering a few new decoys, new box call, Indian Creek Shooting Systems choke tube, and three boxes of Hevi-13, 3" 2Oz 6 shot.

I guess that patterning my Nova will have to hold me over for a few more months.

Ok here are some from last year..

blacktail luv · « **Reply #26 on:** January 14, 2011, 10:20:00 PM »

Was at work yesterday and had the 5 semi tame birds that were hanging around the house gobblin' with just my mouth. Its coming.

KeeKeeBlamo · « **Reply #27 on:** January 19, 2011, 05:05:14 AM »

I just started hunting last fall. Turkey was my choice of prey for a lot of reasons. I got a fully grown hen my second day out and saw or heard birds almost every day I went hunting (5-7 days last fall). Can't stop thinking about it. I practice calling on my drive home every morning. Wife is pregnant with our first child and is due May 6th. I am trying to find a way to get out on some birds before the baby!! Thats how bad I have it. I have it so bad people I know who have never hunted or owned a gun want to go. It's addictive!!!

When does the season start? Can I buy license and tags now?

yelp · « **Reply #28 on:** January 19, 2011, 06:46:55 AM »

April 15th and I believe you can purchase hunting licenses and tags.
