You get in on the no show? Unfortunately no I did not. There were only 2 open spots. I had a contingency plan in place to hunt another public land that is open hunting. Not a whole lot of birds there but it's hunting nonetheless. Got there and 3 vehicles in the parking lot changed my mind. Just wasn't worth the risk to me. I'm pretty disappointed but those are the breaks of being a public land hunter. I'll try again tomorrow morning and hope for the best. Oh that’s terrible. I count my blessings.

Pretty quiet here except for the vehicles out there on I64…
Misplaced my muffs so if the grandson shoots I’ll have to cover my ears. No shooting for me though.

I’m on my way to a job in Cleveland. Not sure if or when I get out this season so I’m “hunting” vicariously through y’all! Good luck to all!

Had a nice conversation with a gobbler for a few minutes and then he shut up. I’d say he was 200-250 yds away. I didn’t get slutty with him so I hope he thinks I’m a nice girl.. 😉

Well they came down. Saw 2 gobblers and 6 hens. They are currently following each other away from me. Gun could’ve got them. One gobbler was coming in and the girls stopped him🤦🏻♂️

3 small bucks popped into the field and are having a stare off with the fanned out gobbler.

Had three gobbling from the roost and they flew down and went the opposite way. I moved and have two gobbling, but believe they’re in a field where the neighbor is hunting. Just gonna sit here and chill for a bit unless I hear something else to go after.

I haven’t heard anything all morning. I know they’re here since I just called in a jake to hand shaking distance. He never made a sound.

It should ease up the longer we get into the season. Dont forget Winimac, and closer yet Galena Wetlands. I lost my Ace in the Hole property for now. Still got a decent place, but 40min drive so weekdays are tough.

My Hoosier bloodline would be disappointed. It’s 51 here and I’m cold 😂

This is only my third year hunting turkey. I got in early and got in tight near two separate roosts. They were talking like crazy when I arrived still dark, 5:45. Shot at 6:31, I guess a 63-year-old can still have their first’s. 23 lbs.
