Never said I was good,just said so many here its easy to shoot one!!!!

Your prolly from the North and there must be a lack of turkeys like the deer population correct....

I shoot jakes/long beards and even shot a bearded hen cause I thought it was a jake!!!!Shoot-em all as long as they gotta beard......

[Corporal Punishment]

Here is the one I got last spring,and it actually was the longest spurred bird I ever got.Had a couple with a little longer beards before,but never know the weight because I never weigh-em.



The mistake bearded hen!!!Hated walking up and seeing it knowing its nest eggs were gonna die,but was an honest mistake.



Heres the spurs of the tom above.....





I like fishing more than hunting,and if ya asked me if I was so good to post pics to prove it,then the game would be on LMAO!!!!!

No one can out fish me on the susky........

[Woods Wise]

nice birds corporal, just giving you a hard time. I actually have some top notch turkey and deer hunting in my area in midcoast maine. We don't have a shortage of turkeys, but up until this spring we were only allowed 1 bearded bird. It was a lottery drawing for a permit until a few years ago, not anymore though.

I really dont put in much time for them!!!I like to say whats the excitement of killing one when ya can go buy a 20 pounder dressed/cleaned for only around 20$ at the store,and actually tastes alot better.....

[Corporal Punishment]

But gotta admit it gives ya some good activity after a long winter!!!!

You dont get excitement from huntin them? I get just as much excitement if not more than when i deer hunt. I love the sound of them gobbling and seeing them strut into your decoy

[Corporal Punishment]

I get excited as hell hearing the first gobble in the morning!!!!!!Its just no where near like seeing your first deer on the opener,or the enthusiasm of maybe seeing a monster buck.......

[Corporal Punishment]

There is so many turkeys here its pathetic with them,3 gobblers across the road minutes ago eating manure a farmer just put out!!!!I drive of the hill and gobblers/flocks of hens are standing in/next to the roads most the spring/summer/winter.....Wish the deer population was as prolific!!!!!

Man turkey hunting is a ton of fun and is exciting, but I got to agree with corporal, it's nowhere near as exciting as deer hunting.

I don't care what it is that i am hunting as long as I can be hunting . The best thing about spring Turkey hunting is it is at a time of the year that no other season is open. You may find a dumb one on opening day but after they hear a few calls and get a little pressure you better be on your game. That gobbler coming in make's the hair on my neck stand up, the whole interaction thing makes it just as good as deer for me. Takes a few more to fill the freezer though.

[Stuck-on-Seven]

Yup i think its every bit as exciting as deer. I love em both. But i see way more turkeys than deer and i can guarantee almost every time i go out i can at least see or hear a turkey, not the same for deer. But like i said i like both equally. Hunting is my life i dont care what animal im hunting as long as im out haha

[Corporal Punishment]

WOW what a flock of turkeys I seen today crossing the road in front of the car,at least 50 but prolly more!!!!

Well since its getting close to the season,whats required to enter a turkey.....

A pic of tag with turkey,or a written paper/sign with date at least!!!!!
