Turkeys
 
Went to my lease in St. Francisville to listen for gobblers this morning. Didnt have to walk 200 yards from my camp to the first food plot and heard 3 different ones. i sure hope they are still there come Saturday. One probably gobbled 20-30 times. I turned around and slipped back out of there. Good luck to everyone this weekend!

I also found a nice shed just layin in the middle of the food plot. turkey season is the best time to find nice sheds. i found a nice one last year also. this one had 6 points on one side! i tried uploading a pic of it but it told me the file size was too big.

Got on three birds this morning in MS. as soon as I hit the call three hens flew out of a tree about 60 yards from me and got with the toms. On hen came searching for me with a tom in tow, but he would never get close enough for a shot. Oh well there is always tomorrow.

They were hot and heavy all on there own this morning. Barring any major weather changes they should be just as fired up Saturday.

I gotcha, I know where ya at. I've hunted all up through there, (61 & Angola), Hunted Fort Adams for over 30 years. We hunted youth w/e last w/e in Ms, my youngest killed a 9 1/2" beard & 7/8" spurs, the gobblers hadn't busted up yet as of last w/e. This warmer weather they should be bustin up.
