Any of you other NW metro guys see the Tom strutting this morning along 94 on your way to work? He was showing off for 4 hens that I could see. I also saw a couple Tom’s last night walking around the food plot on the South side of 94. I see the Eagles are back to their nest along 494/94 in Maple Grove too. These are some observations that make the drive through traffic every morning a lot more bareable.
I missed them this AM, but saw them on Monday. I actually had permission to hunt really close to there a few years back. That area seems to hold a lot of birds each year but they just started showing here the other day.
I notice several dead turkeys on the interstate the last few days. It appears they know spring is actually here.

Have a tag fife? I’ve got a few friends that hunt up in that area. More birds than I would’ve thought. Get in on it, “E” season tags are OTC!

I’ve watched my fair share of Turkey hunting on TV, but I would have no idea how to hunt them or even how to begin to clean one if I was lucky enough to harvest one. 
I still enjoy watching those Tom’s do their thing. Kooty, there is still one laying in the center median on 494 just north of Rockford Road.
Yup, thought about picking it up but I’m just not that redneck.

Well I am. And I think turkeys are cool. But just like sawing a rack off of a buck, you might have to explain to a CO how you came in possession of the beard/spurs should you decide to get them. 
Saw a tom with a lone hen near 610 and 169 this AM.
