Spring 'turkey' hunting

My turkey season starts in just over a week. The weather has been brutal for people who had this first week of the season so I'm hoping the weather is better for my season. I'm not all that excited to actually get out turkey hunting as much as I'm excited to just get out in the woods again and sit and be still. It seems like last fall was years ago, not just months ago and it seems like this fall is forever away. The reality is though the summer and really warm weather will come quickly. So when you are out this spring doing some turkey hunting and sitting in the woods, take some time to just relax, but also to think about all you can do to help prepare for next fall. It may mean after you sit for a couple hours in the morning taking a stroll through some areas you don't normally walk in or spending a few minutes trimming your shooting lanes on existing stand sites or moving a stand that wasn't quit in the right place. My point is not only is it good to be in the woods and relax, but also think about the 'little' things you can do now that will make 'giant' differences in the fall. The reality is, if you don't do them now, you probably won't when it is 100 degrees outside.
