You Get One Guess....

Okay,  so check out the picture of my front seat and guess where my mind is these days... You get ONE guess.....  C'mon.  You got it yet? 

Gobble! Gobble! Gobble!...............

Last night, son Brady and I got to work on our second real season of turkey scouting. Actually, it's our third, but the first year he was only five months old.  Don't know that that actually counts.  Anyway,  as usual, we checked out the usual spots.  Our evening routine goes something like this.  Right after dinner, I hop up from the table, race through the dishes and then Brady and I both beg Katie to let us sneak away for a half hour.  She normally rolls her eyes and tells us to be back early.   I run to the garage and load a bit of gear into the Jeep, click Brady into his seat in back and then we zip over to three or four of our usual turkey haunts.  Last week, we were out on my hunting ground and found plenty of birds, no sweat.  Four hens, two gobblers and a jake.   In fact, Brady even got to see both gobblers flop up into the roost.  He yells out from the back seat, "Turkeys go to bed Daddy?"  What a cool kid....

Last night, we found turkeys out at EVERY one of our stops.  Right now, the birds are bunched up and I'm just starting to see the Gobblers get a little attitude. In fact, last night was first evening I've seen strutting this year.  They're getting birdy!
 

 Holy Smokes!!!

 

 Over at spot number three, the birds we quite a distance from the road.  With my binocs, I could see a couple of nice gobblers.  In fact, if you look real hard at the shot below, you can just make out a GIANT gobbler on the right.  I wonder if he'll rumble into my calls on opening morning...

 'Tis the season! Three weeks and counting to my Minnesota hunt.  Can't wait!

Gobble, Gobble..........
