Let me know if you're interested in a hunt and send a PM my way with some info.
I'm not going to disclose too much personal information on a public forum - but, I'm early thirties, young family, prioritize safety, hunt to harvest meat and to be outdoors, drink responsibly and not whilst actively hunting. Thanks!!

Turkey season starts April 15th. By the time the second weekend in May rolls around most of the toms will be dead. The remaining ones will be silent and far and few between. It will be hotter than hell, the brush will be all leafed out obscuring visibility and the ticks will be gorging themselves on the last few remaining hunters in the woods like they are at an all-you-can-eat buffet.

That couldn't be further from the truth.......except the tick part in certain spots :chuckle:

I agree have had great success during that time if the season. Tom's aren't as vocal but they will still come in to decoys.Turkey season starts April 15th.

I might be game this spring for a NE corner trip for Merriams. I've shot Easterns and have no interest in hunting for those whatsoever. Rio's are fun, but since I've shot several of those in KS, I'm just looking to check the Merriams off my list at this point.
You should have a good hunt, that's my favorite time of the season for several reasons including the fact that most other hunters have either killed or given up.

Late season is the best! I have harvested over 30 of my last 40 birds late season. Yes there might be ticks and hot weather, but that just means less hunters. The birds will be calmer, the hens on nests, and the Tom's lonely. Use just enough calling to let him know where you are. Then shut up and wait.I agree have had great success during that time if the season. Tom's aren't as vocal but they will still come in to decoys.Turkey season starts April 15th.

Are you going to try to leave Friday after work and come back Sunday? Or is it an extended weekend?Haven't decided yet if I'll take an extra day or not.
