Nice birds, congratulations! I hunted in Nebraska for three days in mid April. Weather was terrible, snowed sideways one day, and two of three days, wind was 25 mph plus. Third day decent weather. I arrowed one gobbler at nine yards. That’s the only one that came within 50 yards of my blind and decoys. Hunted in Mn for six days. Saw three hens and one gobbler, the gobbler was with a girl friend and was not interested in my calling or decoys. Never the less, I got one and had a good time. Nebraska mid-April can be a BITCH. First time there, we flew into a municipal airport the first day it was opened after a 24"-30" blizzard that killed people. We were gonna hunt 5 days, but got chased out after 2 days ............ahead of the next 15" that was coming in.

Congrats on your 2021 spring turkey season, nice read! I had 2 seasons in IL, nothing during the 2nd season but got a very respectable bird in the 4th season. One season over with in WI resulting in a nice bird and leave this Wednesday for my second WI tag. IL bird with some pretty nice hooks And in WI, just south of Mauston, I had my friends 300 acre paradise all to myself!
