Re: Turkey Hunters
I live in Minnesota, and I just ot my notification book in the mail today, telling me that I got picked in the drawing for the spring hunt this year. I have never really hunted them before. 2 years ago in the fall, I had about 60 birds coming buy my deer stand every day, just like clock work. That made me decide to try turkey hunting. Now that I have been sending in for the drawing, I dont ever see any birds at all, go figure. It seems like I always have too much going on in the spring to get out. And the one year that I did get dawn for the fall hunt, I had just gotten on a huge buck the week before, so it seemed like I spent more time chasing him, then I did going after the turkeys. Good luck to yu this year!

Re: Turkey Hunters
That stinks having to go in for a drawing. We get 5 tags each year. Everyone that wants them. Did you hear any gobbles when you went?

Re: Turkey Hunters
Our season in Texas where I hunt opens April 4. Since I'm hog hunting then I think this season I'll throw my bow and ground blind in every time I go. Then if I hear them gobbling I can do a quick setup. We can shoot 4 here. George

Re: Turkey Hunters
No, I have never head any gobbles while out, but while bow hunting for deer, I used to really hear the hens clucking!

Re: Turkey Hunters
Oh Good Lord! Now here's a topic that I will talk about way more than a golf cart and I like my cart. I eat, sleep and breath for turkey's and my wife know's it. When I'm not in the woods turkey hunting, I'm usually thinking about it. Heck, that's the main reason I bought my cart and am on this site. When I am not offshore, I build and sell turkey calls. (No, I'm not trying to be sneaky and advertise.)
I live in the Northern half of Louisiana and we got a good many birds on my lease. Season open's here on March 28th and I fly home on the 29th. I have a trip lined up in April to go hunt some Rio's for the first time. We will leave on Thursday the 9th and hunt Friday thru Monday. Got a sweet deal on a hunt for 2 birds thru another guy that works here in Brazil with me so I am pumped up about that. 25 day's of sitting in the spring woods~~~~How sweet it is! |

Re: Turkey Hunters
Here in Ga. season opens march 21st. I'll be at camp and hope to get a chance to hunt. I have a lot of other chores to do there too, like painting, hanging paneling, enlarging the cook shack, build deer skinning shed, etc.
I have turkey hunted several times but have not bagged one. I've been told once you score one you've got to go back for some more. Maybe I'll catch that fever this year. Good hunting to ya and keep it safe. Mike |

Re: Turkey Hunters
It is a vicious disorder Mike. I havent even heard of a cure. It is so much more interactive than deer hunting. You dont even have to kill one to get it. If you get a good gobbler that is responding to your calls and you can work him in, man there just aint nuthin like it. I used to live for deer season but now deer season is good scouting time for turkey and I get to shoot a deer if I happen to see one.
