Vermont turkey season opens on May 1st. I'm heading up on Friday afternoon the 4th to hunt Saturday and Sunday. If I get there early enough on Friday I may be able to find a local flock with a big ol' longbeard and get an idea of where they will roost. I know it's seldom that easy but once in a while the Red Gods smile on me.
I'll likely be hunting alone this year for the first time in a long time. It doesn't much matter to me - I used to go for deer season alone for a week or two up there in my youth. Went up and came back by train one year from North Station in Boston with rifle, sleeping bag and a big duffel bag with clothes and gear. Rode all the way home next to a beautiful redhead about three years my senior. Had a great time with her.
