Anyone else Stoked for Turkey Season

I am, counting that is. Fricken work, clients are calling me like crazy right now, "when can you get to my place?" Got 6 calls today, seemed like I hardly got anything done, 15 - 20min. conversation with each, sometimes I wish I had a secretary!:D
 
My uncle has some land in Napanee that I just checked out. This'll be my second time turkey hunting. Very excited. More so than when I was a kid waiting for Christmas.
 
I got my gun broken-in and patterned (Baikal MP153) ready for turkey eatin :cool:

I just don't wanna get skunked (turkeyed :D)

for those that hunt the crown land, is there a chance or am I just wasting time, as I see most guys hunt on private land.

Public land is tough. the birds get call shy real easy. When you have every swinging #### in the surrounding 200 mile radius, hunting on that land, the birds get real shy, real quick. On a side note, less calling is better, from my experience. When they are roosted, at first light, I like to give a couple of clucks when I first hear them gobble, until they respond to your call. I then don't do any more calling until they hit the ground. Then I give a couple more so they know I am still there. Then the waiting game begins. Turkey hunting has to one of the most exciting experiences out there. You become the hunted. I am almost wetting myself thinking about it.

Will do :wave:

I might've just landed some private land hunting north of Orangeville 70 ha or something like that :D :dancingbanana:
 
Went out scouting to the farm on Sunday, up around the Orillia area, still lots of snow in the bush. Didn't see any turkeys which is unusual for this time. Seen quite a few deer though. We dropped down a few bags a feed, heading up again on the weekend, see what happens.

Getting set for my first Turkey season.. Rem 870 12 gauge with HS X-full choke, Winchester 3" mag #6 turkey load (TIGHT out to 40 yards!), camo, decoys, blind, calls, etc, etc. We scouted out a hunting spot in WMU 65 this morning on a friends property. Within 10 minutes of getting to the spot we saw a pair of Turkeys...hopefully they will still be there next weekend!!!!!
