Woke up at 3:00am to lightening, thunder and high winds for our trip to Greene for my sons turkey hunt. Waited out the storms for awhile but finally left the house around 4:50am for the 2 hr trip. We made it probably 10 miles down the road until we realized he had forgot his license. We returned home and ended up not going, the weather looks to be bad down there today. I hope we didn't make a mistake,but thats a long drive to be stormed on. I was hoping some of you guys who made it out could fill me in on any action you might have and how the birds were acting.

When the temperature cooled Weds and Thurs they were flat hammering and responding well. Friday it got warmer and nothing.
I'm with Woody and hoping Monday morning brings a bird if I can get out.

When I got out to my truck Friday after work I had a text and voicemail from my son Chase saying to get home as soon as I can, there's toms gobbling their heads off behind the house. By the time I got home they were long gone though. I need to get my youngest son Booey through hunter's ed so he can have a regular youth license, then Chase could have took him. This is NW Greene County. Here's some video that Booey shot: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcoP2G96Alc

I haven't herd a bird all season! The season needs to be earlier in the southern part of the state because the birds are done shortly after it opens! I haven't even seen one strutting sense season opened!

Saw one in a private field that was strutting and responding to our calls but couldn't really hunt him so we left. Next stop we had 1 respond right away but it wasn't in the cards for us with that tom or the rest of the weekend. Logged about 8-9 miles in my rubber boots and wet cloths...When's goose season again? Maybe the blisters will be healed by then!!!!

I think we hunt fairly close and I won't make it down with my son until this coming weekend, like to know how they are acting. Sounds like I may have to teach my kid to put on a good old Mohican belly crawl to fill his tag.
