Traveled up to Northern California to chase some thunderbirds with some buddies. I ended up arrowing a bird Saturday and another on Sunday. Both had 9" beards and 1" spurs. It was good times for sure.

Here in Oregon, turkey season opened yesterday (April 15). Saturday, while I was doing yard work I could hear several toms gobbling about 300 yards away. Within the next couple weeks they will probably be in our yard looking for hens. Last year my wife and I got our birds just below the house. I should go out soon.

Cool birds guys, gonna go tomorrow, but its suppose to rain all day . Anybody ever hunt turkeys in the rain? Will I be spinning my wheels and wasting gas...or will the birds gobble and strut in the rain, any help would be appreciated.

I love hunting in the wind and rain! The birds will always get out of the timber and into the fields, since they can't hear/see very well in the woods when it's raining. Find yourself a nice short green field, and wait them out.
The only bad part about hunting in the rain is that a wet tom doesn't look very good for the pictures.

Finished up my spring season with a good one, heavy 10" beard and 1 1/8 spurs, was able to get several pics of his buddy after the shot.

Congrats to everyone on thier turkey success.............

Great jog guys, I went out on Wednesday, and only saw jakes and hens. Can't wait till next week!!

Well went out for the last time yesterday and got skunked again!! Our turkey season closes this Sunday and with my days off being on Mon, Tues, Wed, guess that means I'm done for the year. Had a good time once again though, but on the bright side its now time to get serious about pig hunting.
