Just got back from visiting my sister outside of Nashville, where I took my mother down for a visit. Well, I guess there are still birds out there that want to play somewhere. I did not buy at 224 dollar tag because I only had one day that I could hunt and hunting on 32 acres with 22 horses scattered around can be problematic. That said, she sure had gobbling birds just about everywhere and they gobbled all morning long. Next year I'm thinking I'll buy a license and find a somewhat remote corner of her property and see what I can do. Sure was nice to hear gobbling birds who gobbled pretty much all day long. IMO it was 180 degree opposite of Va. That said, her birds have never been hunted in their lives and don't have much to fear from anything.

Some one on here has been telling you to do that hunt on your sisters place for some years I think. Oh wait...it was me that told you to do it :lol:

I have not seen the final numbers for the 2019 spring season but she lives in one of about the highest kill counties in the state ...top five if not higher. Its new age of turkey hunting. Surely cant be too different than hunting in suburbs of NOVA? Shoot em off the porch etc.

I'll be back next year. Her farrier said he had a place local that I could hunt that is full of birds. We shall see if he was right.

PS. I could have shot a gobbler at 12 yards setting on a board fence looking at me at her place.

Double PS. It would be a short hunt. I'd have to be done at 7 am every morning as riders start showing up to train horses almost every day. Course afternoons would be prime as no one is on the horse farm in the evenings except for turkey and horses.
