I'm glad it's not a split season this year. That means I'm not getting up at 3 am to hunt in the rain at sunrise tomorrow, there's time to wait until better weather. We are going in the morning but we'll do more scouting than hunting.

We hunt a lot of Turkey but I never knew there was a season on it? All kidding aside, Turkey's pose a serious health risk to dairy farms (Somenilla) so we are allowed to thin out the population by quite a bit. It is quite the job since they feed on the spilled grain and those flock to the farm pretty hard. With all this grain, in essence they actually taste more like domesticated birds instead of native turkeys. ???

Here we call the things Waldo County Rats because they are so numerous. Good luck hunting in any case and be sure to deep fry them.

My toms are gobbling more than usual this morning. I think there's a wild tom nearby. We can't hunt them here but I can deal with them if they damage my market garden. We'll go out to look for them in a little bit. I wasn't at all interested in dressing in all those clothes to walk in the rain this morning.

Good luck, Robin. You know we tag at the store, and there were about a dozen that had been brought in opening day.

While we were about our errands, we saw a flock that we often see down by the road, or even in and crossing it.. but they were WAYYYY back across the field, hugging the woods.

Guess they got the memo... Hope the birds in your neck of the woods didn't!

Turkey hunting is big here. My 11 y/o called in and bagged a big Tom all by himself last weekend. Our neighboring town has a huge wild turkey festival that draws people from everywhere. I usually have no luck I liken it to squirrel hunting you have to be too quite....not my strong suit. It also gets me thinking about our turkey population. Some time ago in Ohio rumor has it they wanted to boost the population so they released a crap load of lady bugs so they could feed. The lady bugs got out of control like you would never believe. Homes were and still are over run in the country, so they bring in more turkeys. Now too many turkey's and I heard they now have brought in snakes to weed out turkey's......Do you think this holds any truth. The only thing I can attest to is the lady bugs I signed a petition requesting state help.
