Opening morning was a bit difficult as the rain persuaded most to stay at home in the comfort of a bed. However, for the ones who decided to brave the weather....were greeted with many birds sounding off all morning long. My bird flew down within minutes of me setting up decoys and getting comfortable in my blind. Although there was gobbling in every direction you could point, this bird only made one yelp and walked straight in to the decoys. He was in half strut when I decided to harvest him. 9 inch beard and 3/4 to 1 inch spurs. The weather has been better since that day and there have been several birds killed, and they are still hammering right now.

So, its not to late. Get your call, gun, decoys, facemask and head for the woods!

Reported Second weekend Johnny and Tim harvested 2 more Turkeys
Way to go fellas!

Just got a report from David on a record Gobbler 4/16

Blake Harrison was visiting Eddie and I, with a close friend and former member Dave Young. It has been around 12 years ago since Dave has been here. He returned home to Texas then after completing his residency as a surgeon in Atlanta. Hopefully, we can get them back next spring with better weather so Dave can harvest a bird also. Both guys were intent on returning to Texas on Sunday with birds in the bag. We hunted hard all weekend, however the weather was a player again as springtime seems to always bring unstable storms. Friday's storms moved in and did not resolve until early Saturday morning. We were left with extreme winds all day Saturday.

Once again, determination paid off! Saturday evening we made contact with a bird responding on the front side of Kincaid Mountain. Blake set his sites on a true trophy, as this bird gobbled the whole distance until Blake closed the deal. The bird did hang-up at about 70 yards. However, the bird was uninformed that Blake was shooting a 3 1/2 inch magnum. This trophy weighed over 20 lbs, and had a 10 inch beard with close to 1 1/4 spurs.

Several Bucks and Does were Harvested the 1st week of gun season. The numbers on the big lease are definitely up this year. It's estimated there have been at least 5 or 6

8 pointers off the big lease and most have weighed around 140 to 150 pounds. Don's deer had a inside spread of about 14 1/2 inches and weighed about 145 pounds. He killed another this weekend (11/29) that was almost identical. David Brock has also killed an 8 pointer that was about the same size. It's estimated there have been around 10 or15 doe's harvested so far as well. One weighed over 140 pounds.
