13 - 14 mph winds all day. 55 - 65 degrees.
Parked at my gate. Saw a turkey track, and a boot track. Just one. Hunt's been open since Saturday. 1 boot track ain't bad.
Stay tuned!
Good luck!! Looking forward to kill pics!!

Good luck on your hunt!
That's a haul. Good luck!
Thats definitely one way to advertise
Here's what I have to advertise so far. No gobbles. 3 sets of tracks. Relocating to a different part of the wma.

Hope you get one,long drive would be worth it!!
Finally saw a long beard. @ 500 yards down a cut pine row. Tried to get around him. Was not successful. You can see a mile through these pines.
Just saw a hen. I know where to come in the morning!
Gonna go check out another spot.

Out of curiosity looked it up; Alapaha WMA 6870ac and last year 81 turkeys were killed. I'd say covering lots of ground is a good plan. Good luck.

1 longbeard and 2 hens seen today.
Oh, and 2 sounders of wild hogs.

Well, let me close this chapter.
I can sum up my hunting this week with one of my favorite phrases,
"God loved me enough to call me to Tennessee!"
After seeing only 2 birds Monday I decided to drive @ an hour to a WMA I hunted for 7 years when we lived in Douglas before moving to TN. That's where I saw the 2 sounders of wild hogs. I visited areas I have killed turkeys before. These areas are usually eat up with sign and tracks. 2 of the locations, one of which was an established strutting zone the 7 years I hunted there, the other the slough where I found the hogs, neither place had a single turkey track.
So, either I have forgotten everything I knew about turkey hunting, could be, I get older every year, LOL, or GA is in much worse shape than TN when it comes to turkey population.
I never heard a turkey, only saw three total, and very little sign.
I don't regret the trip. It was good to get out in the woods. I stopped and visited some friends. I'm preaching for a good friend of mine tonight. That makes the trip worth the drive!
Sure wish I could have at least talked to one. I REALLY can't wait for Saturday now. LOL
Hope everyone has a great season!!

I'm not sure this is correct..
I see 3 draw hunts with 15 folks each
There are a couple WMAs of similar size relatively close to me. 5 to 10 birds total off 10,000 acres is average
