When my alarm went off, I was already fully dressed and ready to rock n' roll.

It's time!

Woke up at 3:30 dreaming of turkeys and couldn't go back to sleep. Ready to roll, good luck all
 
Got up at 310, walking into spot an hour later, took me 45 mins to get to my listening spot (no light, 1 million dead twigs) now for a quick snooze before the woods wake up.

Good luck to everyone

My opening morning started with a different kind of opening...435 and my wife's water broke finally! 42 weeks and 2 days. Woo-hoo! Pray with us for a quick and uncomplicated delivery please! No hunting for me today, but look out for the next 3 weeks!

What he said. You can hunt another time but better help the wifey out this spring. Piss poor planning on your part. :poke: j/k best of luck and prayers that all goes well.
 
I've heard one and it was a long ways off. Very unusual for this spot to not have some gobbling, I've actually killed here opening morning 9 years in a row. I know our population dwindles more every year but dang. Guess I'm just going to do some blind calling.

Not much gobbling this morning. Had 4 gobblers come in at 90 yards and neither made a peep this morning

Quiet here too. Heard one gobbling on the roost what seemed like a mile away and have heard one shot on a property on the other side of the road.
 
I seen 6 or so come off the roost but they're quite and the wind is picking up pretty good.

Had 3 birds gobbling on the roost but got quiet when they flew down. Couldn't wait them out due to my sons baseball game but it sure was nice to be in the woods.
 
Well, my son and I got to the wma right next to the field i posted a picture of on Thursday that had 27 turkeys. At 10 minutes before first light we heard 3 gobblers responding to owl calls, crow calls, etc. At 2 minutes after first light a hen flew down and 2 toms flew done behind her. Next thing you hear is 2 shotguns simultaneously taking care of business. My son and had a ringside seat as 2 others hunters got to go home before sunrise with their prizes. Isn't public land hunting awesome.
 
Heard 3 or 4 gobbling on the roost and a few hens yelping but they went the wrong way lol. I gobbler gobbled a few times after fly down. Sure was nice to be out with a gun in my hand tho. Beautiful morning.
 
Heard gobbling right before sunrise got set up had some birds fly down and start making their way towards me at 90 yards. I'm set I think. Then, three dogs come running through and scatter them everywhere.
 
Heard 3 on the roost at first light, but not on my place. Then heard my 6th girls first cry at 816! Praising God for another wonderful blessing to my family.
 
Gobbled good all around our property but none on us that I could tell. I'm encouraged by all the gobblers in the area though.
