I'm headed for the hills of Vermont tomorrow morning. Saturday 5/1 at 0-Dark-thirty is the opener and I've got my fly-down spot picked out. If that doesn't pan out after a couple of hours I'll sneak n' peak and listen along through the woods and field edges.
My two turkey guns (DH 12 and D Underlifter 10) are out at two different beauty shops so I'll be using the 20-gauge Trojan (M/F) that I got from Russ Jackson a year or two ago. I'll be shooting RST #7 and RST #6 and keep my shots inside 35 yards. We can hunt both Sat & Sun until noon so I have pretty high hopes... if the birds cooperate.
In my next installment I hope to have a longbeard in the picture.
