I'll be heading out in the early afternoon for a stroll through the woods and to check cams. I'm curious to see their movement and wondered if you folks have been keeping tabs on the birds in your neck of the woods.

I have a pair of bluebirds started nesting, and morning doves just built their nest and redtail hawks have for a few weeks. I've been watching the Tom's follow the hens the past week.

Well Wes, you have some birds.
I don't have any cameras out now. I must admit seeing your photos makes me want to get out there and take a peek.

I had 3 cameras out. Checked 2 of them and when I got to the 3rd in its place was a dnr forestry sign . It was on a property that borders where I hunt. The lady that lives there gave me verbal permission to come on the property but I'm guessing her husband thinks otherwise . I'm going to contact the dnr and see if they have my camera and see what my options are to at least try and get my camera back.

 Came home to 3 gobblers and several hens in the backyard today. Just got a decent pic of the one. |

Headed to Kentucky in the morning to scout for the youth season that is next weekend. Haven't been down there in about 6 years, but I'm 3 for 3 on the last 3 trips down to the same area.

Drove across the state to Terre Haute yesterday and saw several groups of birds. Every group had strutting birds and saw a few lone strutters as well.
I've heard for years that our season opens too late. With what everybody seems to be seeing this year, I think I have to agree.

I always thought our season was too late also but if you think about it all these toms we are seeing strutting in fields are surrounded by hens. It would be impossible to call them away from them. Our season is set up so most of the hens are bred already and we have a better chance. This is my humble opinion of course!

That was my thought for years, but I've seen many seasons that the toms go completely silent a few days in.

Hit my old favorite spot in KY this morning to find out the local that lives in the last house on the access road to the WMA has decided to use the road as a parking lot. Couldn't get by, so we had to drive around and listen from the other side of the woods. Heard a couple and say a few in the fields amd then the rain moved in. |

Call the KDFWR and let them handle the guy blocking access to public land. |

Pulled out of our local shooting range yesterday about 1:00 pm. Looked across the creek and there were three Tom's in full strut trying to get the attention of about a dozen hens. They weren't interested and wandered off with the boys following.
