    Hope for all of you whose season kicks off today had or will have great luck. I was not able to hunt at home because i am at school but skipped classes and hunted some public land this am, saw three does at 53 yards but was fortunate enough to have a flock of turkeys fly down off roost and got to take a shot at my first bird with a bow. Barely missed high but was a cool experience and let me tell you nice to be back in the woods. Good luck to all!!!!

    Mostly right around Rochester. Out East in Buckhart, over around Lake Sangchris and a little over south of Waverly.

    Let me know, we could hook up for a Sangchris hunt
