Spring Gobbler
« on: January 21, 2011, 09:06:37 PM »
All I can think about lately is April options.  Last year I got blanked for the spring.  I keep picking up GMU maps, speculating at new places, and then ultimately figuring I should just go back to the places I've already been.  I'm already going through my pack and making sure that I've got all my calls, maps, gear.  Counting the days.  Today I had the revelation that I could take my son out for a youth season and then that led to even more variables to consider.  Sheesh.  I got to get through Feb and March.

If it gets bad enough you could fly south and hit an earlier season!      :chuckle:    :chuckle:

I hear 'ya Carp!  Just had one of the most epic hunts of my life last night...in my dreams!!!  It was my third night in a row "dream chasing" gobblers, and I'm definitely in need of some good old fashioned April Field Therapy.

This is going to be my first year Turkey hunting. I realize I need to put in the boot work and do my own scouting, but can anyone please tell me where I should start. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
