Being a HUGE Vikes fan, I am also in favor of "Toms on the Ground". I will be hunting 425C.

Looks like we have heard from everyone except Tom Linderholm.

Kind of ironic we have not heard from our "Tom" yet.

Looks like everyone is hunting some great areas and good seasons.

Toms on the ground, Toms on the ground- teams 1 thru 7 are going to be jealous when we put our Toms on the ground. grin

Good luck guys! (just not too good)

TurkeyAddict will get it started in about a week and half and they'll know why we picked Toms on the Ground for our team name. Did a little scouting this morning and had a couple gobbling on private land next to the public land which I may hunt. Definitely the right way to start the day.

Pretty funny coming from Team 4 "Stub Collectors"

Team 6 should just cut to the chase and change their name from Beard Trimmers to "Short Beards" grin

Sorry guys, I'm here, been working on the new boat and moving at the same time. Will be scouting this next week and hunting 2nd season in zone 6 WI. This will be my second year hunting Turkey, last year I pulled a nice double bearded 21lb Tom. May be tough to beat.

Let's get er done!

Tom you don't have to beat last year's bird just duplicate it. Kidding. Good to have you on board. Good luck in your upcoming season.

So for $%!ts and giggles I stepped out my back door to throw a few clucks, 3 strokes on the glass and I had two birds going crazy at 200 yards. Never came out of the wood line, then again I didn't take the time to educate them. Haven't seen a bird on our land since last spring it may just be an easy year.

Well, I am all set to be out tomorrow morning.

There has been a lot of morning gobbling around my property with many turkey sightings so I am optimistic.

The submission thread has been awfully quiet. I hope to change that.

The past 2 mornings have been great to be in the woods.

Lots of turkey activity but have not closed the deal yet.

I will be back out in the morning.

Know what you mean. They are already predicting the same thing starting next Thursday when we head for Nebraska. I'm just very thankful for pop up blinds. Good luck you never know.

Well guys, I let you down.

No bird for me.

I hunted all 5 mornings until around 11:00 and then had to get in to work.

Had turkey activity every day. Lots of early gobbling but once they collected their hens it shut right down.

I could have taken a jake or a short bearded tom but was holding out for a long beard.

I have never hunted late season but am guessing this is what it is like.

The woods are sure greened up and everything is 3 weeks ahead of normal.

Looking at the submission thread it looks like others are not finding it as easy this year either.

It was still a great season getting out. Spring turkey woods are magical.

Good luck to all still hunting.

      I have heard it's because of the drought. I know in my area ( meeker co.) the sloughs that they trap minnows in have dried up.

      Excuse my ignorance, but was is driving the bait prices? Usually the shortage is due to a late ice-out from the swamps and streams. This year should have been much better.

      I should probably learn to use the 6+ containers of lures I have collecting dust in my tackle box. We got on a decent crappie bite the last couple of evenings and I broke out some plastics.  I caught some crappies on them ,just need to build my confidence in using them! I did notice they didn't seem to hold on to them as long as minnows!

      Minnows are 50 cents each, and leeches are $50 a pound.

      Absolutely. I get full bars all-along the drive from Cook to The Landing, and out into Head O Lakes bay. I can't say that I've stared much at my phone signal anywhere else besides on my way to Black Bay. We still don't get much for service there because there are a lot of steep slopes with tall trees in the way. That was expected though. The tower is definitely providing better service to the area in general IMO.

      Any updates on this new tower? Has it helped AT and T customers throughout the lake get better service?
