I saw two big old toms strutting a couple days ago. They were tagging along with about 15 hens. As I drove closer they shock gobbled to the sound of my truck. I could see their long spurs as I passed them! After I was by them they stepped back out and got back to showin off for the girls! Awesome sight to see! Gotta love spring turkey hunting! Amazing how a bird can cause a guys heart to pound with such excitement and then other times bring out emotions you didn't even know existed.
Heard a bunch of frogs today at a small water hole just singin the sounds of spring. Saw and heard a couple flocks of cranes flying over yesterday evening while I was throwing baseball with my boys. All signs of that spring is near here in southern Indiana.
Found a few sheds so far, nothing really big yet, but I haven't really went looking hard yet. Plan to soon though.
Got wood to cut and a food plot to clear before turkey season gets here. Going to try and get my youngest son started on shooting a real gun soon, so lots to do, and I'm thankful for it!
Looking forward to filming with all the BareBones crew this year. Cant wait!!
...and did I mention I feelin the urge to wet a line!! Man I love spring!!!
Spring is almost here brother. I can't wait either! Nothing quite like watching the woods come to life on a beautiful spring morning.
ReplyDeleteThe gobble from that lonesome tom is one of the sweetest sounds in nature.
Of course, I like to hear the boom of the shotgun too!
