I took a little "lunch jaunt" around Atterbury today because I like to ride a motorcycle down this time of year and cast the fly rod a bit. So I thought I'd check on some of the ponds/lakes for condition.
As I sat in the car for a bit at Stone Arch Lake, it wasn't long before a gobbler off to the north started goin' to it. Then he was followed up by another more toward Teal Marsh. Never saw them, but they were soundin' off somethin' silly...and it was a bit after 1 p.m.
Then I headed over to Beaver Bottom and had another go to it!
Crazy---but I love it!

 I can't recall the choke size, but it held a good tight pattern! But it kicked like a mule!!! |

I am guessing all of those birds were taken on the military side. I have about given up hunting on the public side just from all the mushroom hunters that have ruined my hunts during the past few years.

whitetaildave24, yes all my birds over the years have been taken on the military side- I never even tried the public side of Atterbury! All birds were taken as a stand by hunter too! I have never had been drawn at Atterbury, but I have had success over the years showing up as a stand by hunter and getting drawn on the random lottery each morning at the DNR office. I gave up going to Atterbury a few years ago, due to the fact that they now only hunt during the regular Indiana season weeks of the turkey season. They used to start the hunts at Atterbury the week prior to the opening week of Indiana season (Monday thru Thursday) and it gave us Turkey Hunting junkies a little head start to the Indiana season each year, but that has changed and now I just have too many other places to go after them during the normal season in Indiana to head back to Atterbury. But I sure did have a great deal of fun and many memories of the military side of the facility.

there is a world of difference between the state FWA and the Atterbury JMTC ! ;D ;D the state side gets hammered with hunters (mushroom and turkey) and has mediocre habitat at best however the JMTCC is ideal habitat with limited pressure and therefore lots more birds!! whitetaildave24, yes all my birds over the years have been taken on the military side- I never even tried the public side of Atterbury!
