Title: Sons first turkey
Post by: kweeks2933 on February 12, 2025, 10:48:58 AM: Looking to get my son his first turkey during the youth season. He has harvested other animals but wants to notch a turkey tag. I'm debating between doing a DIY hunt or a guided hunt. Have not hunted birds much east so not familiar with areas of great success. Wouldn't mind if someone has recommendations on a good turkey guide while I figure out the game plan. I'm late to the party for planning but only due to an open window in my work schedule. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

If you don’t have land access you’ll be spending around the same amount on a DIY hunt with less of a percentage being successful in my opinion.

Not saying it isn’t possibly, just speaking from my own experience taking my daughter out from ages 8-10.
