T-minus 1 week!!!

Yes indeed, we are a week away from another Indiana Spring turkey season opening!

I made time today to do some pruning in my hidey-hole. Anticipation is running high. I called my work and informed them that dear old Skychief was taking off Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Plan being to hunt for a gobbler and if successful, loaf and look for some morels, soaking up all the sunshine and solitude and quiet that I can find!

I'm tempted to take the recurve this year, thinking my hide is closed in enough (MAYBE) to draw on a gobbler before he knows what's happening. We shall see. If I chicken out, the fowler is handy and eager to go. NEVER a poor option.

As many of you know, I have a problem. This time of year makes me giddy, looking so forward to being out with these marvelous creatures. One never knows how these hunts may unfold. Each is so different from the others. Never gets dull.

Knowing that more than likely, one will hear them gobbling is just more to look forward to. Unlike deer hunting, I feel a turkey can pop up, out of nowhere, at any moment. I've seen it happen like magic. That keeps me on the edge of my seat. On the other hand, it's a more laid back endeavor in some ways compared to the deer hunting....

I will have no concern with wind direction, moon phase, mast crops, travel routes, etc, etc. Laid back. Just what I'm looking for a week from now. I think we can all use some warm, sunny weather and a laid back pursuit this Spring, unlike no other in my lifetime!

So here's to all looking for that cocky, love-sick, twenty pounds of feathers this year. May your calls have them come running and your shots be true and deadly. Hoping you all find a heap of relaxation and rejuvenation in the fields and forests this Spring!!

Best regards, Skychief.

14 days and a wake-up here. Not sure what the new 3rd shift work schedule will allow for, and I'm pretty certain I'll be back to work by then.

Wonderful to hear Dave! Schedule, Smedule..... If anyone needs to get after a bird this Spring, it's you!!!

Hope you are feeling better real soon, Skychief.

Best of luck to you guys and gals. I am looking for the right window to pursue turkey #3 here. See you out there....

Good luck with the hat trick Sparkitoff!!

Skychief, when your talking to ol’ Tom, don’ forget your social distancing and do not let him get any closer than six feet.
Good luck

You've been through the grinder your self Sky.
I want every moment recorded my friend
B.

Phill, I won't forget the social distancing. Any longbeard closing in on that six-foot mark might find himself in a heap of trouble!

Britsmoothy, I thank you friend. I'll make no promises of recording every moment, but, will manage to catch the highlights, should any present themselves! I'd sure like to have you by my side. Would love to see your eyes as they thunder gobble up close and personal!!

Best regards, Skychief.
