This thread is to discuss the upcoming spring turkey season.
This will be my first time seriously planning out a few turkey hunts and I'm very excited about it. Last year I had the opportunity to hunt with a guide in South Carolina, so at last I was able to observe a pro and learn the basic strategy and tactics to get in a good position and call in a bird.
Sound off below if you plan to go out. And if you're up for it, maybe share what you will do in the coming weeks to prepare (scouting, equipment, etc?) and the general type of area (wooded, field, mountain, etc) you plan to hunt.
For myself, I'm going to be practicing with my slate at home and I'll test fire a shell from one of the boxes of turkey loads two years ago and never had occasion to use. I'm planning go out before dawn to my hunting location in Montgomery County the next two weekends to post up in the woodline near a large field where I've seen them recently to see if I can get a read on their current pattern. And the following weekend I'll probably wish I knew a "youth" to take hunting. Then on the first Saturday of the season, hopefully I'll get an opportunity.
Best of luck to everyone and please keep safety in mind.

I heard the first spring gobble last week a few minutes before the altercation
