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.

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.

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?
