Heard a couple on the roost and one out by the road gobbled good on the ground. I let him be. Hoping he is in the same spot tomorrow morning when my son is with me. The others shut up as soon as they hit the ground.
Did call a hen in that's hat I spotted at the other end of a foodplot. I thought she might have been a gobbler. Shouldn't have forgotten my bino's.

My only sighting has been a buck deer munching on clover.. All you need now is a red-tailed hawk, sittin on a limb, a chubby ol groundhog, and croakin bullfrog, and you've got the makings of Dixieland Delight!

Yeah, that was kind of vague. Earlier, even a week would help.

Lots may disagree with me, but Indiana's turkey season is way too late. 2 or 3 weeks earlier would be much better. When I've hunted Tennessee early, the action has been outstanding!

When I first started hunting turkeys several years ago. Indianas season was earlier than it is now. I also think it was better then. Just my 2 cents worth.

It has been a rough year for calling one in. They definitely have hens right now. It would be easier to call one if season started earlier. Years like this are tough when they hen up hard the last week.

Didn't hear or see anything. I have one more day I can go before end of season or it's tag supper for me.

Our season has came in the first Wednesday after the 20 of April for as long as I can remember. I'm sure most people know, but here is an article that Steve Backs explains the reasoning behind it. www.buckmasters.com/indiana-spring-turkey-season-opens-april-27.aspxIs it too late? Maybe for the southern part of the state. Maybe just right for the central/northern part of the state. Two weeks before season came in, gobblers where everywhere. I saw birds crossing fields headed to who knows where. An earlier season would result in a higher harvest and probably more participation later in the season. Along with less foliage and lower temps.
