Turkey opener in the AM

Well guys and gals, I am hitting the woods in the AM with the 20 ga, it's May tomorrow!Suppose to rain tonight into the early morning hours so my plan is to go set up on a field that I set my trail cam up by today. I found good size turkey tracks there about a week ago on an old trail from the woods leading into the field. I went there today to move my cam and found fresh tracks on the same road, same direction. Actually saw a bird scoot into the woods this AM. So my hopes are with the rain, the birds come have a peck around in the field. Haven't had alot of scouting time but have a few spots in mind where birds where last year. Been 2 years without a spring turkey, time to break the ice!Good luck to everyone else!

So came in early...cool and rainy all morning, didn't hear anything, weather shut em' down today. I was hunting a field on the property I got permission to hunt. I think some other family members of the lady I got the permission from were hunting the other side of the road. I found some boot tracks on the side I was hunting, was afraid I was intruding on their hunt but didn't see anybody.Tonight think I'll go sit up on the old gravel pit behind the house and listen. My hunt the old stomping grounds in the AM - apparently they haven't been taken over yet by the new farm so might as well enjoy while I can! If I don't hear anything tonight, then I may hit state land in the AM.

Went up into the state land today. Didn't hear anything except for 2 gun shots way off in the distance until about 7am I heard a bird gobble. He was deep in the woods somewhere, I started making a move to get closer and eventually either he quit gobbling or I went the wrong way because I didn't hear him again....and there's alot of gullies/ravines/ridges.
