The "bug"
Okay...it's official! I have the "bug" after seeing a group of 15 with 1 strutter this morning on the way home from work. To make it worse, coming back from Charlottesville this evening I saw a group of about 10 with 1 strutter. Can't wait for opening week!

Re: The "bug"
I seen a tom with a few hens in lexington last week and have gotten the fever bad. I was curious any idea on how this early spring is going to affect the birds? if it will have any affect at all. I've only been turkey hunting for a few years and have never experience a early spring such as this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: The "bug"
Sorry no bug spray for that itch. Only cure is to hunt them.
Morrels already. Yikes I need to play closer attention next time out in the woods.

Re: The "bug"
I've got the bug bad up here, I've been contemplating on coming down and hunting with you guys in VA again I have to wait another month to hunt up here but I did make sure I got opening day off. Good luck to ya'll and maybe your pics will help suppress the bug for me for a little while.
