spring gobbler around the corner

[Jonesy]

Here in Western South Dakota, turkeys are a plague. They are everywhere. I see several hundred every morning on the way to work. My office is in a log cabin on the edge of a cemetery. This morning I had twenty or more only fifty feet out my office door. The toms are strutting hard. At my moms house, the turkeys come down and tear up her yard and crap all over her deck.

Don't need a guide, just go anywhere in the Northern Black Hills, it's almost all Forest service land. There's hardly any turkey hunters that hunt it. Most of the ranches around here are a little tight on the deer hunting, but most will be glad to let anyone take some turkeys.

Some of you guys should come out here and thin some of these birds out.
