This will be my first year out hunting turkeys and I’ve read so many posts on here and watched YouTube videos, meat eater on Netflix and Wild TV.
Last year was my first year hunting but I started late and missed the spring turkey season. I did manage to harvest: 1 blacktail, 1 grouse and 3 ducks.
I plan to get out in March and early April to scout various areas from Rock Creek to Beaverdell and through Kettle valley and Christian Valley.
Ive got my decoys, 12 gauge, turkey shot and choke. I’ve been practising calling on reeds, box calls and slates. I’ve also got my crow and owl calls for locating.
Get out early mornings, scout and locate. Then either jump shoot, stalk or setup decoys and call them in. I am totally open to any advice that experienced turkey hunters want to share.
Best shot to use, call brands, when to use specific calls, weather impacts, early season tequniques versus late season etc etc any advice is good advice even if just personal preference.
if anyone had any interest in taking out a newbie for a day or two from April 15-21 I would be interested. PM me and let’s chat.
Also, I wanted to start a thread of this year for everyone to discuss the season and share hunting experiences but I bet this is way too early...I’m just eager to go chase some gobblers!!
