Turkey forecast
« on: March 25, 2007, 03:43:58 AM »
 How are the turkeys looking this spring? I was wondering with the ice storms and all if they are still thick in the hollers. I remember counting 22 in one pasture last spring around sun up while driving to work.

There lookin pretty good so far. Ive been seeing good numbers on a regular basis around here and a little north of here. If this warm weather hasnt come to early and caused them to start breading to early we should have a good season. I know down this way alot of times there pretty well done when season starts. Just hope this weather aint gonna mess us up.

I haven’t seen a lot of birds but have been hearing some gobble for over two weeks now.  Had one gobbling in woods back of my house a bout a week ago land this would set a couple of my pups of and their barking seem to just stimulate the old Tom and they went back and fourth for about an hour.  I don’t know which got tired of the exchange first. :D

I have seen several hens but not many gobblers.  I expect the next two weeks will provide more gobbler action.  :)

I'm not a turkey hunter, but in my motorcycle rides around the Rolla area I've been seeing a fair number.

I was through the Rolla area just a few weeks ago. Visited some relatives on the other side of Fort Wood. Lots of birds down there. Just watch out for the armadillos.

Youth hunt was this weekend and it seemed the kids did very good inspite of the wind. I've been seeing a few hens and jakes but nothing to ge excited about. I do know some of the hens are nesting already in St. Francois co.

New report:  I had to go to Cape this morning, only saw a few hens in fields feeding. BUT, the dogwood trees are starting to bloom south of Perryville and  every Mo. turkey hunter knows what that means !

I put on a youth turkey hunt for another website this last weekend. Nothing but the mature birds were gobbling. The problem we found was hens going to the gobblers from every direction.Season should be good.

Well, it will be interesting to see what Monday's weather will bring, will have to wait and see.  At any rate let's all get out there and give "ole Tommy Three Toes" a run for his money!

Good luck and hunt safe!

Turkeys ain't just in the oak wood uplands.  I killed a 23 lb tom opening morning about 20 minutes after legal shooting light.  Shot him in a small opening in an otherwise cottonwood dominated bottomland field.  This was my third spring of trying and the first bird I've shot.  Didn't see any morels, though.

Rocko, where'd you shoot the pig?
