Three Toms strutting in my field today..

Shot a nice one yesterday. Didn't go out until about 8:30 because I had all week to hunt. Set up where there was a lot of sign called off and on for about 30 minutes then 2 gobbled and came right in took a while in the thick cover to get a shot. Was home by 10:15 season over. 1.125 spurs 10 1/2 " beard.

Saw a Tom full strut with a lone hen at 9am today.  200 yards from where I will set up tomorrow with my bow.

Sat with my dad this morning trying for a double but it didnt work out for him as he missed twice..I was able to connect with this nice tom at 8 oclock..we saw 16 red heads...mine is 24lbs 9 inch beard 3/4" spurs..

Gotta love opening morning..

They gobbled like crazy on the roost but went silent after that..good luck to all

Was pleasantly surprised at the gobbling last night given the high winds and very cold weather.. I let out an owl hoot and 6-7 Toms were gobbling in a creek bottom about 100 yards onto the neighboring property. Hopefully I can entice one these next few mornings. Getting excited!

have seen a few strutting toms with hens this week. 

Roosted 2 birds last night at the land just for fun.. heard a group of 6 gobblers this morning about 1/2 mile from our property before i headed to work. They were fired up this morning big time. One week!

Got my shotgun dialed in today. I have a scope and for the first time, I had to make some adjustments. Always use same load. All ready now for 3rd season.

Looked over to the field to the west last night at 6:45pm on US41 south in Winnebago County. Just west of the landfill. Saw the biggest tom I have ever seen. He was not strutting or puffed up, but was following 4 hens out onto the field. Definitely interested in them from what I could see. This thing was huge! Looked bigger than 26 lb tom I shot last year, it almost seemed fake until it moved. Sorry for lack of pic...
