Been getting some awesome pics the last couple days
Just got home from having Easter dinner w/ FIL. Catching up on whatever wildlife activities occurred while gone. Same bird from the Happy Easter video from this morning, back for dinner. Has become a twice a day visitor ever since last week. Have a few others too, but that's it for here. Many more @theotherfarm though.
Ok this crazy bird was hanging out along side the road for well over 30 minutes. The pictures are 28 minutes apart and the bird was on opposite sides of the road

I wonder if she needed a break and thought the boys wouldn't come to the road. LolTypical indecisive woman

Had a couple gobbling next to the house the other morning haven't heard them since. I hope they are there come Saturday the kids are itching to go.

Yep, two years in a row now, lots of birds, toms strutting everyday for well over month, then on Sat prior to youth season a switch gets flipped or yellow acorns spread and not a pic since ... not one pic. That coupled with the loss of all mature bucks after Jan 15th the last two years something fishy in Coshocton. Seems posting anything of substance on here or SM in general is like baiting for scum sucking poachers.

Same boat here as well. Have a buddy that is planning to bring his kids out this weekend to give it a whirl anyway since we had so many for so long. Had a hen on camera the other day so my hope is they are just in the areas off cameras but I have a bad feeling.

Ya, I'm driving 13 hours to hunt a bird... good vibes to get out in spring, some chores chill at camp etc but just dangit, was building up to be fun instead of sour. Having my 20 y/o niece down on opening day to try for her first - now I hope she hears one... maybe.
Gonna get my smile on thou, just got a note from my boy Zak that they went into labor an hour ago.... first grandbaby for the Mrs and I. We'll see....

Wow..... CONGRATS all the way around... Neice down to hunt thunder chickens and your first grand child being born.... Doesn't get any better than that....
Saw two on the hillside up from my field last night right about 9pm. They were heading to roost in an area I don't normally hear gobbling from but at least I know there are a few around.
My biggest problem is getting them to actually engage with calling. Haven't had a gobbler get fired up and call back to me in 2 years...its kinda depressing but I still love it.
I'll probably head south to EVWA at some point during the first week of the season and potentially once the whole day hunting happens as I know a few spots there that hold birds regularly.

I’ll be out in the morning with my boys, Huron or Richland county, then walleye jigging in the afternoon with boys. Should be an interesting day

Mason went to our place and called up three jakes and a gobbler this morning. I checked on a bird at another spot for a youngster. That bird was right where he was supposed to be. But, he’s got hens so getting a shot at him is not guaranteed.
Beautiful, sultry 60* with light sprinkles type of morning. Headed to the woods in 5mins with Ty, crossbow in tow. Our main target made a break for it yesterday afternoon at 3:43pm
Hope he made or makes his way back.
Good luck to all heading out this weekend!
