Those are some awesome videos.

It's always been a couple weeks too late for most of ohio. This year with the super early spring we're really screwed. Hens will lay one egg a day for around 14 days. Unless her nest fails she'll be done breeding two weeks before season even comes in.

Could this be a good thing as far as getting lone Tom's in on a string because they are lonely?

Not really. It's been my experience that a tom will hang around just a few days after the hens stop showing up to his gobbles. In those few days you could kill him with a stick. But after a couple days he'll break pattern and head out to try and locate a group of tomless hens. If he finds some he'll stick around and breed them. But if not he'll just throw in the towel and figure it's over.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeup! Been noticing that ever since I started turkey hunting! Amateurs like me suffer because of it TOO! Lol

I also say it's TOTAL BS that spring tags don't carry over to fall season! That doesn't even make sense but it makes the DOW plenty of cents! Rant over....:


Sorry to derail Mike........ Carry on

Awesome videos and pics BTW!!!
