Hard to believe the season is roughly only a month out - i've actually been noticing Tom's breaking away from the flocks in my area. No strutting or gobbling thus far that I have seen. Any one else?

Late report from this weekend. Most fun I've had in the woods! Brought my 9 year old nephew with. Hes never hunted and he did outstanding. We hunted 11 hours on Saturday didnt see much until we decided to take the long way out to the blind after lunch and had a Tom, Jake and hen within 60 yds and called with them for 1.5 hours till they took off. Then Sunday morning got this 21 lb tom, 10 inch beard, 1" spurs at 9 10. I think I got the little guy hooked. Next time, he pulls the trigger!
I got off to a late start really...and I was in the blind by 540am...fly down the last couple of days I would say was about 550...something like that...Its kinda hard to judge because the last few days the birds haven't really gobbled on the roost at all in the area I was hunting... I think i maybe sat twenty minutes this morning...I was suprised at how quickly the birds got to.me because I was at least 175 yards from the roosting area.....hope that helps

Got this nice Tom this morning..was setup on a cut corn field and had a single hen decoy out...just got setup and hadn't even started calling yet when I looked up in the woods and saw a whole group of birds coming put of the woods to my decoy....there were 9 toms...I picked one out and took a 10 yard shot and it was all over...this is my 6th bird out of the last 7 that had bigger than one inch spurs....24lbs 1.25 inch spurs and an 11 inch beard

I feel your pain Lakeshiner.. Easter morning the birds were lit up like crazy. I had 8 toms within 150 yards i'm guessing. A group of 4 toms flew down and were circling the brush to come out in a spot of the field they have been recently.. had to leave for church - 15 minutes later I got a remote trail cam pic of 3 toms 15 yards from my set up :(((((
