Are the turkeys talking yet?

Me and the wife went out on fri. to scout for her tag in the Camp wood area. Found lots of sign but it was much too windy to hear her at 10 yards let alone a gobble. By this weekend they should be starting and they will be gettin after it by the 17th. By the time the first weekend comes around most birds will be hened up. At least if this year is like the last 4 years. It should be fun as she is only going to use a bow. After this hunt she will only need a bull elk (she has a few cows) and a sheep, she has taken everything else with a bow!

I heard that they made a pact with the CO turkeys not to gobble until after the CO season opened.

They were going real well this morning on the jr. hunt! We had 6 or 7 birds gobbling there heads off, of course they flew down and went the opposite direction. We circled them and got a lone tom to respond 5 min later the jr made a great shot (37yds w/ a 20ga) and we were done! It was a great but fast hunt. The bird had 1 1/8 spurs and a 9" beard. Not bad for a first turkey! If you guys aren't taking your kids out on this hunt the kids are really missing out. Good luck to all

We were in 8 but I've heard from friends they are going real good on the rim. 5a 6a 5bs 4a ect. I was in 8 today again and it was like a different world, Very little gobbling and no shot opportunities. But it was still alot of fun! Good luck next week my wife will be in 17a for an archery hunt and it should be a good hunt! Birds are rockin over there right now!!
