Yeah, turkey huntin'. It won't be long before the early southern US seasons open. I think some open in March. Our season, here in the mid-west, opens in late April. From what I read, most states have a huntable population of the wild birds. They are good eating and are quite wary, not easy to put your tag on ...... Can you tell that I'm prayin' for a short winter ? Hope you have a fun turkey hunt this year,

I just got my draw results yesterday for the Utah Turkey Draw ... unsuccessful again. My brother drew last year, my dad for the past 3 years. I'm very unluckyt at this.

Good news is populations out here are booming and there is a hope in a few years for tags to be "over the counter".

Howdy. Our spring season starts in mid april here in MD we have a pretty hefty population. They can be tough i hunted for three years before i got my first one then i was hooked. good luck with the birds

I think they planted the retarded ones out here in Utah then... they are stupider than a Grouse. I've got alot of pictures with me walking up to within 20 feet of the silly things. Usually see around 30-50 a day near our cabin.

Here in AZ they are harder than just about anything to find during the open season. But I guess that just the way it is with any big game animal . I chased some this last year while I was out scouting for my elk hunt. They were a White and Gray color never seen any like that before. Anybody know what species they might have been?

Howdy. when you guys hunt turkey do you use rifle or shotgun i dont know other state laws but here in MD, spring is shotgun only and the fall season we can use either. Usually in the fall i carry both 12 gauge and 22 mag.

Shotgun here.

Shotgun in Nebraska or Boa and Arrow.

Shot Gun or Bow in Michigan









If you can't convince them, confuse them.

Shotgun I'd say if I were to go after Turkeys. No season here but there are a few around here......

Turkey hunting opens the 8th of April in our state. My wife and I both got drawn this year, so if we get lucky, we will be eating a nice juicy turkey on the grill this summer.

sdhunter8,

Welcome to the forums! Enjoy your stay.


Here in Ontario you need to do a course and pass a test before you can even get a turkey license I got mine last saturday myself

No drawing for tags though you can buy up to 2 for 35$ each if I remember correctly.

I think turkey hunting would be fun. I wish we had a turkey season.

Headed to NE here shortly for the shotgun season.
