I jumped one walking around in the woods below the house a couple days ago. The wife told me a flock of a dozen or so them were playing around in the front yard last week. It is far too early for gobbling around here. Last evening we got another snow storm so we are still a few weeks away from the sunny and warm stuff that lights them up.

But I will be going after them. Season opens April 16 and if I can keep some of the local outlaws out of them I'll be getting after them soon after. The way my schedule is I can actually get a bit of hunting in early if I leave for work at about 8:00 or so. We'll see. I got grandad's model 12 oiled up and my camo washed and ready. Maybe I can finally put the pieces together this year.
