Nice work on the gobbler! Congrats! On a second note, how was your fishing on Erie? I leave on the 20th for a week where we take the ferry across and stay in Put in Bay and fish around the islands and Camp Perry firing range. Hope to get that 32" this year!

What's everyone's take this year so far on the turkey population? Obviously the past 10-12 years it has been on the decline but didn't know if they ever started coming back in your areas. Post up what part of the state you're from and what you're currently noticing for bird counts!
