Turkey season

Good luck guys ,we'll expect a report back on your hunt  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

 

We were drawn for the 2nd Chuck Swan WMA hunt, but with the bad eyeball thing, I am hosed. Cant shoot a shotgun until after the season.

Can you hunt them with a bow there?

 

Yeah, I just got my first compound bow over the winter so I'm pretty excited to try it out on some gobblers this spring. I hope my shotgun doesn't get jealous.

 

I have never done spring turkey hunting. I killed a turkey during deer season in VA years ago (fall turkey season there); shot him through the neck with my .35 Remington. I have a friend that said he'll take me this spring if I can find the time. Problem is, spring turkey season here comes at one of the busiest times for me at work so it's hard to fit it in.

 

That's what my friend tells me.  He says once you go it'll make you lay out of work.

 

Last year's hatch here in KY was one of the best we've had in a while. Despite the nasty weather early on many of the poults survived and the hunting this year looks very promising.

During my last scouting adventure I noticed that they were still gaggled up back in the woods but the bugs and green grass will have them out in the fields, if they aren't already.

Good luck guys! If my schedule cooperates I'll be out on opening day.

 

not thinking we'll going out this spring... still got some in the freezer from last year.

but a bunch of 14 was hanging out in the yard after the rain/hail earlier this evening. BIG old tom bird in the bunch.

 

How was the hunting guys?

I just noticed opening day also falls on my drill weekend They pulled this stunt during deer season too. When I re-up there's going to be a clause in my contract that says I don't have to drill if said weekend coincides with opening day of ANY hunting season. It just ain't right!

 

We went this morning in N.E. Wyoming. Rained all day. Tried to take one with a bow and never connected. It is amazing how fast turkeys dissapear! I think we should be able to fly over the canyon too! But with good friends and a day off work you cant go wrong with a trip to the turkey hills.

 

I had a blast this year!!! The turkeys were next door like always and i was hunting a bermuda pasture with NO COVER!!! Got to hear and see them every trip, I think maybe if it had not been for the big watershead with the giant bass that kept calling to me all morning i might have waited them out.

Did pull in a 7lb bass out of it this year!!! Yep i carried a shotgun and a fishing pole in every morning.

 

I know I am late on this but I have just been to busy to keep up with forums this year. I went to KS to hunt with a friend that lives there and had a great time and some good luck.

23 pounds 10 3/4 beard 1 inch spurs.

 

That is a a nice boss gobbler !

what did you call him in with ?
