Re: The Official 2020 Turkey Thread
Kind of surprised to see dozens and dozens of “NO HUNTING” signs in the area I went today. Stopped and spoke to a property owner and he gave me some advice that seemed dubious. Then right after he said there’s a grizz in the area and to watch my back.

Congrats to your son Krico! You seem to be fairly successful annually with an early season turkey harvest. Hopefully you had a good evening hunt. Living through others vicariously :)

Me too so far. I'll be to roost some birds tomorrow night and hunting the next couple days.
Hope to see some successful hunts/stories start rolling in soon!

Chased them all morning, couldn’t bring them in close enough. Had an afternoon nap and set up hoping to ambush them on way to roost. Finally at last light the big boy came strolling in and I arrowed him at about 30 yards.
We are now eating pizza in the truck before we pluck and clean the bird.
sleeping in tomorrow!
Re: The Official 2020 Turkey Thread
Any advice on where to start? As in what type of call to buy? Are they tough to clean?
How does spring vs fall hunting for turkeys compare?
Re: The Official 2020 Turkey Thread
Been out twice with my daughter and haven't even heard a gobble yet!

Go north a hour more they are fairly active.
Re: The Official 2020 Turkey Thread
Had a pretty active day out there today. We knocked a couple good toms down. Action was pretty consistent all day. Will upload some clips/pics when I’m home tomorrow night.

Good stuff, looking forward to it. Speaking of an active day... that was me today, busting my hump up and down mountains. Saw pretty much everything but a turkey (or a black bear, which of course I have a tag for): deer, elk, moose, dusky and ruffed grouse, coyote, lynx, even snowshoe hare on the drive out. Might have to change regions...
Re: The Official 2020 Turkey Thread
Anyone else been out?
Here’s a simple foam Jake decoy we fixed up with an old fan from a Jake my son shot a few years ago, along with real wings. It even fooled me briefly when my son staked it out in between setups.
Next time I’ll attach some fishing line to add movement when he’s positioned over my hen decoy.
