Seen a bunch of strutters tonight on the way to eat. I'm pumped picked up a last minute spot to try
I can’t wait, my favorite time of the year to be in the woods!
I think spring turkey season is the most beautiful time to be in Ohio’s woods. The big downside for me is ticks, I have had many health issues over the years and hearing what others that had Lyme disease deal with years later has kept me out of the woods for the last few years. Even though I spray down with permathrin I feel like a have a tick crawling on me for days after an outing.

On top of permethrin, I wear compression tights and a shirt u can find them really cheap on Amazon.

This year may be a little different for turkeys for me. I had “spare” time to burn so I’m off the first week of season and the last week. A buddy and I are planning our first southern OH public land turkey hunt. Not sure what days we’re going yet or really where lol
I was selling my turkey gun but if I don’t sell it shortly I’m going to keep it and say the heck with the ticks, I’m going turkey hunting.
Like usual, I'm pissed about all the good hunting being over by the time our season starts, but I have something to look forward to this year. For the first time, Kaydence has asked to hunt turkeys and is ready to shoot a gun to do so. We're making plans for youth season and I'm pumped to be chasing birds with her.
That area you pulled all those BB's out of holds birds. I could about promise you have encounters. The people in that area love turkeys more than deer.
I like this pic with the Tom in the background

All the turkeys on the properties I hunt are very hit or miss, my boys both have shown interest and want to go and “stay at cabins” . They seem to enjoy the deer camp culture which i look forward to until i die or can no longer hunt. If we go 1 for 3 it’ll be a good year depending on the walleye bite we may spend more time on the water

Used to be my favorite hunt but between the mismanagement, and the predators it's hard to think about killing what's left. I do my part in the control side of things, but damn the mismanagement
I’m not sure where you hunt and I’m not saying where I hunt but I see plenty of turkey.
