View Full Version : Who else is addicted
to Turkey Hunting?
I am for sure. I spend my spring in Morgan County at Wolf Creek. Love to camp at the primative campground and walk out to chase the gobblers and smell the dogwoods blooming.

I have got one the last 3 years. I love camping out there and being in the woods as the world wakes up around you. It's great. I hunt down on my families 150 acre farm. But I take invites to hunt with you and I'll return them with a hunt.

Turkey hunting is an awesome addreniline rush.I have been hunting gobblers since 1989, when you had to send in for a permit, and only a certain number of permits were issued. I still get the same heart pounding exitement I did when I took my first gobbler. You learn more each year that you hunt.

Thanks true deerhunter, when you think you got them figured out they do something out of the blue to mess you up.
Yep they sure can teach a man some humilty for sure.

I haven't ever hunted them but I have heard that they are smart as heck and there senses are incredibly keen. You wouldn't think it lookin at them.

Thats true bill. most people see them when they are driving or walking around and think they could hunt them very easy. but then try to hunt them and find out it just ain't what they thought.

I wouldn't say I'm addicted but have a fairly good fever! I've been chasing them for about 9 years now. I got a 20#lb 9 1/2" beard 1" spur bird my first year and nothing since. A few VERY close calls though. I started hunting private land this past year for the first time ever and I can't wait till next year, birds are everywhere!

They are slowly becomming my favorite thing to hunt. No one around me hunts for them which means someone has to get them lol. Everytime I think I have them figured out the show up in a different part of the property. :)

I am addicted. I go every weekend in turkey season. Last year was the closest I've gotten in 3 years of hunting, but now I have it down and look forward to getting one this year.

Flathunter, with the land you have, you should try for them! It really is a challenge and its a lot of fun. You could do what others do on this site -> hunt in the morning and fish in the afternoon! It's worth it to see them strutting around and its amazing how big they can make themselves look. I'll even come down there and go with you!

Hello Guys
This will be my first turkey hunt this spring and I was wondering if some of you old time pro could give us new guys some help. We would love to hear your secret methods on how to bag a big tom.:)

I'm not super experienced, but I could say that the biggest mistake I've made was calling too much. If you call too much they won't come in to you because they think you are really hot and will come to them.
