BV the only cure I know is opening morning and a big tom strutting 20 yards out,
I'm wondering if the boys on this forum even get into turkey hunting. This is the only forum I visit which is quite with Toms already talking in the morning I'm gearing up for OK and S.C. and maybe Ky and Va for birds. I drought I'll even get a chance t hunt my own areas at home this year.

I'm counting the days 'til I can go after them. Been hunting turkeys 38 years now and still get worked up about it as bad as when I started.

What's wrong with shooting a tasty jake? I'm very excited, the birds will be thick this year.

Nothing wrong with taking a jake

There in nothing wrong with taking a jake.I have harvested a jake or two but when you can fool an older tom and take him a jake is just a jake.Now the draw back to passing up a jake and going after an older tom is I have gone home with no bird at all. But the killing of a tom is not all I hunt for. I live for the chance to fool him into thinking that I am the hen of his dreams. But that is just I.And to harvest a tom with 8-inch beard and with 1-inch spurs that may not be the biggest tom in the woods but it comes real close.
Keep a big tree to your back and the sun in his eyes.

Folks with no turkey hunting here in New Brunswick Canada and it being a dream hunt for me. I am so jelous of you all. Good luck take care and TAKE PICS. That is the only way I can afford them right now but there will come a day.

This is my 1st bird, 10.5" beard and 1 3/8s spurs 19 pounds.
hen I came home from the hunt in S.C. I went out on my own and shot a Jake with a 5" beard. Man I was stoked ! Where I live outside of DC the birds rarely talk. he Jake came running past me and attacked the decoy Jake I put out. After sitting for a few hours and not hearing a bird and then all of a sudden one runs past me. Ill take what presents it's self for now.
I'm off the Oklahoma on the 12th for a 3 day hunt. I can hardly wait to see what kind of action 'll be into out their.

Congrats on your 1st tom.Looks like you have a great start to turkey season. Good luck on your Oklahoma hunt.

Mdcrossbow,
Just kinda curious what state you shot that jake in??
I believe the Va. season starts on the 14th, and Md. season on the 18th.
Am I off on the Va. date or what???

 

[mdcrossbow]

Sorry, guys, My 1st bird was taken 2 years ago in S.C. and the Jake was taken a week afer I returned from that hunt. Last year I came up empty.

But I am pumped for OKlahoma trip in the morning.

Backrub, I shot the jake in Poolsville. I hope to take a bird their again this coming Monday.
