Just curious what kinda streaks y'all got. I haven't missed but one opening day in NC since 1997 and that was due to in Nebraska hunting that day
I just figure that adds to the challenge like it needs to be more challenging right LOL. I think I've hunted public so much I have just got used to it every once in while do get area to myself but it sure is getting more popular year after yearI don't ever get to hunt turkeys on opening day due to the fact that I work on Saturdays. I'm about as diehard as you can get but I'm not going to burn a personal day just to hunt on the opener when I know every Tom, Dick and Harry is going to be in the woods on opening day.

When I was in Florida the opening weekend was an absolute madhouse. One year during opening week I counted 10 different state tags on trucks, not to mention the local guys. It definitely added to the challenge. I have found that on even the most crowded public areas there are places where most others won't go. It also definitely helps to be able to hunt in the middle of the week.I just figure that adds to the challenge like it needs to be more challenging right LOL.

Definitely lot people will only take day with their wknd off so I always make sure to be off some wkdys tues thru Thursday is nice. One thing I think with all this computer stuff now people can look at maps and hit places they wouldn't have found years ago I've had some sweet spots all to myself untill recent years could just be increase in hunters as well and people trying to get away from each other or combo of both. I never minded pressure I can hunt it fine its people trying cut off birds that makes it unsafe and frustratingWhen I was in Florida the opening weekend was an absolute madhouse.

I remember that windy Monday well the mtns were roaring killed one in it to was absolutely shocked that bird gobbled as much as he did I usually don't have luck in high wind its my least favorite turkey hunting I'd take rain snow or anything else but high windMissed last year's opening day due to being at a soccer tournament with my daughter but I took off that Monday and killed one in the ridiculous wind. Missed another for a wedding several years ago.

I did same thing sat in truck at 0430 debating whether it was even safe. I started up mtn at one spot limbs were coming out of trees so went back to truck drove 35 minutes to lower elevation spot best decision I coulda made it pays to leave house earlyKilled NC bird that Monday also! Hunting game lands and when I arrived the wind was so bad I literally sat in truck debating going back home BUT glad I didn’t... called 2 in that morning = 1 rode home with me.

can you remember where you stopped?The last Opening Day I missed was for a crappie tournament on Jordan in 1994. Turkeys were taunting me every place we'd stop to fish. We won the tournament and I caught big fish (2 lbs, 12oz.), plus I got a nice gobbler in Granville the next week. Win/win.

I wonder what your reply was.Wife asked the other day what would I do if opening morning fell on our anniversary ............. It’s been really quiet around here for the past week, I wonder if those 2 things are related

I am not in good standing either.
Iowa draw has to be last season. last season has three weekends. landowner can only go on two of the three.
one is my daughter and grandson's birthday, the other is mother's day.
Thus my interest in your reply. I need a line.
