Swampdog, I agree. In the next few weeks, you can actually start to tell the birds apart by the broken fan feathers. Once the scrapping begins.

It's going to be over before season starts. Everyone should just turn their quota permits back in to get pref points back. It won't be worth applying for reissues either....

crazy birds, sometimes it seems so easy to kill one then other times it seems impossible. few weeks back took the grandkids salamander hunting up in the smokies, while turning over rocks in the creek 25 birds walk by us at 30yds, mix off gobblers ,jakes,hens. if i could only hunt 1 animal it would be turkeys.

Watched 11 birds last night (9 hens 2 toms) at sundown just west of the Suwannee in Dixie feed around and fly up. One of the toms had a nice beard that looked a foot long at 100yards. Has to be a big beard.

I saw a flock of at least 12 gobblers last Friday. They were on hwy 26 on the Alachua county work farm land. I bet it's going to be interesting when them boys start figuring out the pecking order.
