Guess the SCOTUS got to everything in the US

WTFWoulda been nice to hear this last weekend LoL

This threads headed to a lockup pretty quick. LoL.

That's great! Now if we can get a couple of heavy spring rains to fill up tanks and add feed to the hills, could be a banner year for these tasty little birds.

Just as easily as this sounds like a good play, as many problems would be created by not charging today with cards that would expire. Counterproductive to wait til tomorrow. They need to just get it done and over with. Once this draws done, suspend the online system until they supposedly get it resolved again like they did a couple years ago. Inquire into NM draw department and get our own fixed.

If they're planning on releasing results mid April, CC's are gonna have to get going here real quick. Seems like it takes a little over two weeks to post results once the cards are charged. Hopefully this week, but I wouldn't be surprised if they charge over the weekend like they did with the spring draw.

LoL. For real?

Couldn't agree more. It's really bad up here. These spring winds are sucking away what little was in the ground. Been a horrible winter for the eastern mountains in this state.

The mornings can be really cold, especially for kids. I'd make sure he has more than enough to keep him warm to make for a more pleasurable experience. An inexpensive pullover face mask would be sufficient for the hunt. If your camo is patterned for similar terrain I wouldn't worry about buying anymore. If you know how to use mouth calls, they're a lot of fun to use. If not, a pot call would be good to pickup and learn how to use before the hunt. Do a little looking around on YouTube or whatever to learn some of the basic tactics behind how to use the striker to attain the sounds you want. I'd focus mostly trying to learn yelping and clucks with so little time before the hunt. Be consistent with those and you should be fine. I'd put a sling on the shotgun he is using if it's not equipped with one already. Makes it a bit easier. Butt pads are nice to have as well. A lot of turkey vests have them built into the vest already. Once you call one in and see it strutting around you'll be hooked. Tons of fun. Good luck.

Interesting report from Mary. Too bad they couldn't have moved a couple more people internally for the time being to get everything processed more quickly and with less stress on everyone. I imagine they're ready to have it done as well. Nice to read info from someone within and have somewhat of an idea. Hopefully they'll hit cards this week or weekend.

They'll be gobbling early morning then and die off as they hit the ground. Very occassional gobbles from then on. Likely be henned up and tough to pull in from the hens. Don't neglect middle of the day setups in areas where there are birds. Quite a few birds in 23 scattered all over. Have fun.

Hopefully later than sooner. Can't wait for it to get here!

That's a hoss. Better get that bird down!

12 in Meindl's or another brand? You may be surprised with the room in these. Right. Usually always run big from my experience with meindl

I have a pair of these. Pretty good boots. I like the warranty on them.

Sure would be nice. But I don't think it'll happen for a while

That means they'll start at anytime. Trying to keep folks from calling and asking

LoL. You're welcome capt dipsh!$

Well, it's gonna happen when it's gonna happen. At least they're getting things corrected for the folks that had issues in the system. It'd be great to know sooner, but they'll be hit when they're hit and they'll be out when they're out.

I love New Mexico's system. Super easy, efficient and seems to be zero issues year after year. Makes a guy wonder...."why can't we?"

If you use the spring draw as a reference, we are way too early for hits to start. Plus a lot more folks apply for the mid winter draw

Mine got hit for New Mexico just about five minutes ago.

Gettin the feeling today's not the day

Wichita has completely controlled the game. Stellar defense. Idk why they let Allen run point the entire game. Turnover after turnover. Horrible game altogether.

Maybe I should change mine to the 20th...... Remember turkey hits were on a Sunday!
