Scouting for toms

[monstermoose78]

I have been numbers of birds in smaller groups now. There is a group of jakes I am seeing every day on public ground. Toms are seeming to be in pairs or threes yet. I have seen a few hens but they were in small groups as well. It is getting close.

It's nice to see them now, but come season in another month, their home ranges may be quite different from what it is now.

Well that is true but on the private land that still has standing beans and corn. I don't see them leaving anytime soon or ever. The public land birds will move to their normal hang outs. I still like seeing them breaking up compared to huge winter flocks.

With only like 2 weeks to ago who chomping at the bit to sit in the blind. I woke up this morning to vivid dream of two double gobbling toms working into my spread. In my dream my nephew got trigger finger and blasted my hen decoy.

Turkeys on the brain! It does not help at work anotherguy is turkey hunter. He keeps sending videos or coming over to show me decoys. When I left Friday he was calling in the parking lot. He made a count down on my cube wall. I can't wait to spend time in the blind. 

 

We talked about using a deer decoy as confidence builder for turkeys. Or not wearing camo as turkeys seem to know when you are not hunting them. It was getting out of control on Friday.
