What county do you chase the gobblers at in the spring?

Previous years I have hunted Defiance,Williams,Vinton,Athens,Coschoctan,Musking um

Last spring I hunted Morgan and Hocking Counties. Didnt score but had lots of fun.

This year it will be Morgan and Ross I believe. There is also a chance of Auglaise.

[lureboy98]

I think I only saw one group of turkeys this deer season, but where I hunt for turkeys is not the same spot I hunt for deer. I also have to keep in mind the season was shortened this year for me, stopped in the Middle of November!!!!!

[Ðe§perado™]

Why was that?

[george tinkham]

i seen 4 nice gobbers during bow season.big long beards.

[lureboy98]

Why did I stop? My dad shot his deer then, and I never really got the chance to go out again...and I won't go out without a partner.

[george tinkham]

that is what its about lure boy

[Caribou Dreamer2]

I agree with you there lureboy its just not the same hunting alone,I mean you hunt alone but your not,it just nice to have that buddy to talked to on the way back to the truck discussing the evening or morning hunt.Sorry to hear about your season ending so soon maybe next year it will be your turn to end the season

[Lunker]

Lucas

either Meijers or farmer jacks place.....I can guarantee a twenty pounder every year!:D

[george tinkham]

and a BUTTERBALL to boot!!!

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Yea but it just not the same walking into wally world picking up a frozen one and walking home. If you shot it yourself it would taste better i hope,but if not i guess it will be butterball again this year for thanskgiving

[Q2XL]

hope it aint no wally world bird this year

[lureboy98]

Though we do not hunt within talking or seeing distance, it is nice to have my dad to talk to after hunting. Also, it is more safe to have a partner who knows where you will be hunting in case something happens. It is also nice if you do get one then you have helpl dragging it, dressing it, etc. Yep, dad and I have a good time!

[shrivl]

Guernsey and Noble

[scott trout]

[lureboy98]

Yesterday I went out and saw two flocks of turkeys, one really close to where I hunt. There were probably 20 in the first flcok and 10 in the second flock. It got me pumped. They weren't scared and I even had a dog with me! It was pretty cool, I got about 100 yards from them. I also saw two groundhogs and a coyote.

[Nut]

you must be going around the wheat ridge area lots good hunting there, If you can get permission. You might want to try out Tranquilty Wildlife area also,Later in the season there not as many hunters there.

[C.C.]

YOUR PRETTY CLOSE. WE HUNT IN UNITY. SMALL TOWN BETWEEN SEAMAN AND WEST UNION. DO YOU KNOW THE AREA???

[walk2slow]

C.C.
I never hunted the area, Just know my way around,(work for the highway dept),I know some people from this area. One buddy I work with that lives in unity see a lot of birds in the unity area. I usually hunt about 25 miles south of unity in the Blue Creek area, I am just 10 minutes from Shawnee State Forest.
