Now is the time
« on: May 08, 2019, 08:48:56 AM »
If you are a new turkey hunter or haven't been out yet, now is the PERFECT time.  I'm seeing more and more mature gobblers first thing in the morning ALONE!  They are out looking for ladies and the girls are beginning to set on the nest so you will have less and less competition.  They are still gobbling good right now.  Better hit it hard the next couple of weeks before the gobbling tapers off.  Good luck!!!

This is the kind of news I’m looking for!  Headed out tomorrow morning for a long weekend of camping and bird hunting. 
The lazy do not roast any game, but the diligent feed on the riches of the hunt.

Was asking a property owner out of Elk about what the Turkeys were up to. My cousin-in-law is trying to get his first bird. Said he is seeing groups of 6-7 Toms bachelored back up in the various fields on his property and strutting like crazy looking for some last minute love ... or a headache. Definitely agree, now is a great time to be in the woods!

What about everybody that has already been out? I still have another tag. It's only seven hours each way.

You can keep the kids when we are done, I'm not stingy. Good luck, I hope you teach them toms a lesson. It sounds like I need to put in for four day weekends all of turkey season next year and then head over when everyone says the birds are on fire!

Never had kids and don’t plan on it. I’m way to old to start now.
