Post by: Gobble Doc on December 27, 2012, 09:49:17 AM: I gathered maps and just started scouting around the area. I did A LOT of driving. My kids and I spent days and days and days driving, and looking, and listening. Spending all the time with my kids was the fun part. After a couple years of doing that we finally got our first bird together. Depending on what time of year you are hunting the birds will be in different places. We could have learned more quickly with a guide.

As stated the DNR has good maps that shows you whats public and the rest in private. The people are all mostly friendly, but suggest getting away from the main roads. As I tell everyone that asks, even a blind man can find turkeys from Deer Park north to the Canadian border ... so pick any back road and start looking and asking.

Like PO said...I was brand new to hunting and just drove NF land and me and my partner got turkeys within a few hours. They are everywhere North of you. Drive. Get out and walk for awhile. Call. Walk. Call. Shoot.
