Loaded up and headin South

Prolly the most unprepared I’ve been for a season but we’ll get it on track.

7yr old Kayden is up first going for her 4th gobbler and then 4 yr old Easton said he wants one too!

Good luck man! Gotta admit I’m a little jealous, still a couple of weeks before youth season kicks it off for us.

The best time of the year! My season won’t start until April 15, but I have the whole family loaded up for a weekend in the mountains. I’ll slip away each morning and see if I can get one of those ponderosa parrots to go ahead and get to yodeling for me so I can mark them for next month. If not, I still have my usual spots. I’ll be watching here in anticipation for the youngsters to get this thing kicked off the right way!

Watched a few fly up and had several others gobbling around us.

Kayden doesn’t want to use a popup so updates may be a little delayed

Tucked into a mesquite flat about 100 yards from the roost.

We should be in the game early.
