well im glad somebody killed one cause i sure didnt. saw 4 different gobblers saturday mornin but all of them were henned up and wouldnt come closer than a hundred yards. sunday didnt see a thing. i heard a bunch gobblin on the roost both days but after they flew down i never heard another sound. maybe next weekend it'll be above 40 degrees when i get up and they'll be a little more vocal.

good luck - i think there are good turkey spots around here -east tenn. , north ga. , -a lot of leased land can sometimes make it hard to get on - not sure there aren't more birds out your way - are you in west tenn. -are there big timber company tracks that people can hunt - good luck - jt

i know west vaco has some places you can hunt on if you get a permit but it really isnt worth it cause there arent many birds on their land. i think Chickasaw might have some places you can hunt also but outside of that i dont know of any public places except for the ones you have to get drawed for (Natchez Trace, etc.). my girlfriends grandpa owns about 1000 acres so i dont mess with those public places very often.

have any luck this past weekend deaddux? this was by far the worst weekend of the season for me. sat. and sun. mornings i didnt hear a single gobble, only seen ONE hen the entire weekend. sunday evenin i heard a bird gobble a couple of times but it was miles away. very very pathetic weekend!

i just returned from kansas and mo. my son and i killed our birds in kansas (2 + 2)but the weather got us in mo. , gonna try to go back out for the last weekend but not sure yet. - as for your part of the state i have a friend who owns 2000 acres near camden and it is loaded with turkeys , he only heard one bird sat and one bird sunday , so they have definitely shut up for the time being - i tried it in that area tuesday morning on my way back from mo. and didn't hear a peep , maybe when the weather pretties back up they will crank up again - i certainly don't know what makes them tick , but my friend in camden said his birds were going hard three weeks prior to opening - good luck - jt

Saturday morning they picked it back up some. i heard 3 different birds gobbling constantly up til about 8 o'clock. i let 2 jakes walk hoping one of the big boys would come in and then about 30 minutes later the guy that was huntin with me shot one of them. seen a big bird but a hen came out in the field and he hung up about 100 yards away. then Sunday morning it was back to being pathetic again, never heard a gobble and only seen 1 hen. our birds are split up and gettin call shy now, its gonna be a challenge the rest of the year but maybe i'll get lucky and get atleast one more.
