Well, six more weeks of winter? I saw gobblers strutting today here in Colorado! This weather is crazy!!

Can’t wait for it. The first excuse to get out and chase something after a long, dark winter!

I just got that first wonderful "congratulations" email of the year. Hopefully THP didn't blow this area up too bad last year

I saw a big ol Tom gobbler walking up the edge of a field this morning. His beard was dragging on the ground and he looked like he’d come into strut at any moment It feels like turkey weather today with temperatures in the 60s.

The Tom's have been gobbling the last 3 mornings.

It's been in the mid 70s for like a week. April 11th (our youth opener) feels so far away.

I think that is our youth opener too. Last year it was the perfect weather, some years it’s blizzard like.

@duckhunt sent me a message on Saturday morning crying because the turkeys gobbling woke him up at his cabin. Be a man, do something about it Duckhunt!

They’ve seen to many of their friends go there to not return. There is always a group to the south of my house. They are usually safe from me but they are fair game to the kids.

2 weeks ago here they were still in their winter flocks. There was a couple strutters. In PA the last decade the hard gobbling is pretty well wrapped up by hunting season the beginning of May. That makes roosting and scouting more important then ever a head of time. I would say in the last 5 years of taking kids during the youth day we have had turkeys come in range and have seen others just out of range but none were gobbling the entire way in like I want for a kid. They gobble on the roost and then maybe a few random gobbles but always come in silent. Not sure why. Maybe my calling sucks.

@Gellar alligators on the banks and the turkeys have already busted up into breeding groups. I had two bona-fide rope daggers with five hens in my favorite spot yesterday.

I think I may go swimming.
