[QUOTE="SoonerATC, post: 1060881, member: 9576"] Did some scouting today out at Lexington WMA. It was a beautiful day and I had lots of fun just being outside, what felt like a thousand miles from nowhere. Best of all, I found what I think will be the perfect hunting ground for Spring 2010 Turkey Season. A wide open field in a hopefully forgotten-about section of the WMA. :) While walking around, I saw tracks galore. Lots of deer and some turkey. I also found a moderate amount of turkey scat throughout the field. I also found a large pile of turkey feathers in one particular spot. They weren't bloody and I didn't see any bones amongst them, so I don't think it was a kill. Maybe a couple of jakes or toms fighting? Not real sure. After picking up a feather to take back to my wife, I scouted around for possible cover locations. I didn't find anything that particularly stood out, so I took an idea from some duck hunters I ran across while archery hunting at Lake Thunderbird last fall. They had built a really nice natural blind on the waters edge out of fallen branches and timber. There was definitely plenty of that around, so I built my own rudimentary, but hopefully effective, blind on the edge of the treeline. I also found LOTS and LOTS of deer scat in the field. I already know where I'll be going this fall :) All in all, it was a very productive day. If today was any indication, I think I have a pretty good chance of bagging my first gobbler in two weeks :) [/QUOTE]
