Turkeys all over in Woodslee ontario

Makes sense.

Now, what happened to the rest of the birds? She's been walking the same route the other birds traveled regularly. I figured there'd be at least a few that would hang around.

Her n'est is likely somewhere very near that section of their trail and there is likely a decent food source nearby....

Ah, you almost had me. So it was a domesticated turkey, not a wild turkey then eh?

What is everybody's morning setup like? I usually hide in a clump of cedars where I can see around with 2 hen decoys about 25 yards past me and I try to sit between a roosting bird and the decoys.

Good luck to everyone tomorrow, on the turkey opener! Be safe out there folks!

The weather is supposed to suck, rain and wet snow... it won't stop the birds, just make it more miserable for us... the last opener like that was a few years ago and we ended up stalking our gobblers in howling wind and rain, by belly crawling through a muddy patch of woods to about 50 yards and the calling them in to 20 yards... it was so windy that they couldn't hear us until we got in to 50 yards... we were covered in mud, but the cat n' mouse for 2 hours was fun.

Odd..... Supposed to be sunny all week here and between 11 and 15 degrees all week.....

Tonight's low is 5C, tomorrow is rain and a high of 8C. Should make things interesting.

 

[Asphaltman]

Looks like rain overnight and into tomorrow I will see how things look around 3am. Or maybe wait till the next day. Have a great time everyone!
