Congrats to everyone! What an awesome opening day, especially for team 3 😉 Yesterday was absolutely an amazing day! Besides everyone on here, I had several buddies harvest nice birds yesterday too. It has been a long time since I've spoken/text on the phone that much in one day. Lots of great stories and laughs! And yes, team 3 has came out of the gate HOT! Congratulations to all!

Team 3 Broke my 5 yr loosing streak today. Called in a nice tom at 8:45 am. He had a counter part with him and came in silent. Took the first one that presented a shot. He weighed 19 lbs 13 oz. with a 10 in beard and 1 in spurs. NWTF score is 59.8125 Way to go there teammate! Congratulations on yet another notch! Beautiful bird!

Dang Brandon! Ain’t ya feeling kind of bad!? Done shot that gobbler before he could shake the sleep out of his eyes! I mean, your season was over before it even started!!! Just kidding buddy!🤠 Congratulations! I’d have done the same thing!!! I was tickled to death this morning! But, now I have a little bit of regret since my season is over. However, Daphne is wanting to go on a couple afternoon hunts( she's NOT a morning person). So, if she's serious, we'll get her a tag and go

Need some quick advice. I've always been a run and gun hunter up until this morning when I stumbled across my first roost tree and had 4 or 5 toms together. How early do I need to get in without truly disturbing them or alerting them? I knew I was going to be close this morning. I had my decoys out in in my blind just before 5am CST

After some coyote and deer disturbance, a tom fired off right over top of my blind! There were 3 different toms gobbling and a few hens yelping and cutting from the limb. I heard all the hens cackle as they flew down. The tom above gobbled three times and pitched down right in front of me. He barely had time to stretch his wings before he was laid out flat. I thought for sure he was going to pitch out behind me as he had a lot of time to watch my decoys not moving. I have him quartered up and in the freezer. Not a single pellet in any of the meat.

Deer has been blowing for several minutes. It only took off because a coyote is out in the field barking. Sounds a couple hundred yards away.
Maybe I'm not the only thing that'll mess up this hunt lol!

I watched three toms and three hens go into the woods just about 20 yards from my blind. I'm assuming they'll be roosted close by. I'll have to be extra quiet getting set up.
I know "roosted ain't roasted" but, I think the only thing that'll mess the morning up is me. I'll have to be quiet, patient and try to resist calling too much.
