I was not able to get a bird on opening day, I did get a Hen at 20yrds out at my decoys at about 630 to 7 but that was only bird I saw all day. We were in southern indiana and had 2 leave that night due to issues at home that we had to adress which was 3 hours away. So was just wondering if anyone could tell me the closet place to the Muncie area that has public hunting grounds with some Toms in it so that I can go there on my 2days off since gas is 2 expensive to get back down to south indiana. I really wanna bag a bird and get my GF a bird for her first hunting experience.

To add to that, The closest one I could find myself was Tri-County FWA. Does anyone have input on the Turkeys here. Are there a lot and also any certain spots I should look for, ive never been there.

Tri-County is a draw hunt and the last I heard they do not do 2nd chance/no-show draws. Call before you head up. There are birds there and around there.

I did call them and they said they have lots of openings in the morning for the open slot draws. Its still a 2hr drive which is pretty close to the other places. The closest i ended up finding was J. Edward Roush Lake, about a hour North. Saw turkeys there and its drawing also. Calling them monday to see if they have open slots to draw people also for the day. Does anyone have experience at J Edward Roush Lake?

If you are coming from Muncie, you are pretty much in the same distance from Salamonie and Brookville, you don't have to draw on either of these properties, don't have any hunting info on Salamonie but Brookville has a large number of birds.

salamonie is a draw hunt. killed my bird there last year, no luck this year tho.. heard lots of birds, saw a few driving around after hunt hours. nice place to go and hunt. lots of mushroom hunters this year. i think that may have pushed birds around to much tho.
