Gobble gobble Spring Turkey 2025

[CowboyLeroy]

North Florida opened this morning. I woke up at 4am and considered making the ONE HOUR DRIVE but decided not to. At 7:30 I was drinking coffee on the porch and one started absolutely killing it on the other side of the woods block. That's what I get for being lazy I guess.

Heard my first gobblers here in central PA this morning. Looking forward to an exciting season.

Good luck I never apply for those because they are usually during the regular season and I’ve got some killer spots around home. Holler at me when you come and maybe we can get together. That’s only a couple hours from me.

I’ll be honest I’m realizing the same thing.

My farms in Sedalia and green ridge have birds I can get into.

I think I’ll just use this more as an excuse to go camping and try a new place!

Haven't shot a turkey in a couple of years (my best friend has 350 acres of river bottom in Nebraska so I have killed quite a few) but I have got the Itch back this Spring. Still got a month before season opens here so I have time to dig out decoys and blind.

I think I like hunting them because of the cabin fever after a long winter. I can hunt in the fall but just don't put effort into it as there's better things to do. But I won't miss being out in the woods getting covered with ticks in spring!

Made the hop down to some public in Florida this morning, I only heard one bird at daylight but I was able to cut his track in a sand road and made a pretty good setup. All I managed was to call a few hens up.
45° and not a cloud in the sky

Looking forward to taking the kids (if they can sit still...) and finally taking one with a bow!

Birds have moved into the Creek and the front pasture. Started with 5 jakes and a dozen hens... Now got a longbeard and his ladies shooting pornos in the middle of the day in front of my horse that's old enough to drive. Season doesn't open until the 29th....

I listened to one gobble a half dozen times or so in a riverbottom yesterday morning before sunrise.

Counted coup on this one today. I like to educate the neighbors birds

At the end of my driveway yesterday. There were 6 big gobblers, several jakes, and lots of hens. Season for me isn’t until the 21st of April, my youngest is in his last year as a youth, that is the second weekend in April. Hopefully they will still be around.

Not even chewed up! Was it tines down in water?

Rained all day here. The birds were out in full force eating worms and bugs and such.

Tines down buried under straw and leaves, a neighbors fire got out and burned the woods up on a place we farm. i found the other side out in the open last year.
