Opening weekend - What time do u get in the blind?

[redblood]

My favorite hunt is to sleep till 9, go pee off the porch, here one that sounds right and seems lonely, walk within 200 yards of him and start calling

Anyone want to know where I killed my two turkeys last year? I'm in the process of moving out of state. First pm gets location, should be healthy it's a hell of a hike out

Im taking a handicap kid opening morning (requested to take him from a landowner) so Ill be giving up my hunt this year to help him out. Will see how mobile he can be and adjust to that. I may HAVE to end up in a blind which will suck but hopefully it wont be for long lol.

Not a thing wrong with that! Good luck to y'all!

Best of luck to you and the handicap kid, I am pulling for you two the most opening morning. Kudos to you for such a good deed, I hope y'all have a blast and make great memories.

Here in SW TN, they have been gobbling on the limb "in the woods" around 6:15 - 6:20 and on the ground "in the woods" around 6:35 - 6:40. I'd expect a little earlier along field edges and openings. We are on CDT.

I got to be out there early before sunrise. Takes a while to setup my blind. Its BIG.

There isnt anything wrong with hunting from a blind. It doesn't make you "less of a hunter" - Some people on here act like they are inbreds.

Well since I'm an OOSER and have to drive so far I've done set up my blind on my favorite piece of public not too far from the parking lot. That way I've got that spot reserved and I won't have to get there until daylight.

I park my truck and start walking and listening. I get there bout 6:05. Like mega listen for gobbling and if hear any go to it. If I don't hear any I just roam around slowly.

If I'm lucky enough to get in the woods before sunrise I try to get in 30-45 minutes before. My last 3 birds were shot well into the day. Knowing travel routes and strutting areas helps.

I don't hunt in a blind so I wouldn't know…back in Bama they've been gobblin 6:05 and on lately so just will make sure to be in the listening spot by 6.

While I see birds, I don't think I have heard a gobble in several years.
