I've got a tag for the Black Hills this year, so I'm going to try out turkey hunting for the very first time. Now I just need to find some calls, get the shotgun patterned, and figure out what the hell I'm doing!



Good Luck, Hunting Turks for the first time!

I'll be in Utah hunting turkeys.

Staying near the house for spring turkey. I chased them with no luck in the fall, so hopefully I can get in close to get one.

Just hunting easterns around home in WV. I have 2 tags and would like to get one with the bow this year. Our season opens April 17th. I have been seeing a lot of strutting and hearing some gobbling the last couple weeks.

I decided to chase'em in MN with a bow this year, so I get the entire 7 weeks. Only 1 tag in MN

I'll also head to Missouri for the first time this year. Usually I do Kansas for a week. trying something new.

back to finish MN and sometimes I hit WI.

Good luck all !

we drew 501 B season. we are starting a little north of rochester the first 2 days, and if that doesnt pan out, we are hoping some of our landowners that we have asked will give us permission. hoping to not need to hunt the F season

i want to do a turkey mount just like that!! my wife freaks at the cost, and i cant figure out the logistics..

how the hell do you get a bird as pristine as possible to a taxidermist if you're hunting the boonies?

They travel better then you think. Otherwise just skin the full bird for a mount and it will be much easier to pack. Not at all hard to do and you can either fold the fan in or actually remove it.

Just wrapped up our Texas/Oklahoma turkey hunt. Had a ball with a good friend and we're fortunate to kill 14 turkeys in the last 6 days. Good luck to those in pursuit! Spring never lasts long enough

Had a great hunt in ks again, 3 of us filed up. Took it tone and spread the hunt out passing on a couple double. Got out for opening day here in wi and killed my best spurred bird ever. 1 5/8 and 1 3/4, I was shocked. Weighed 25 with 10.25 beard20170419_075705.jpg
