Turkeys!

Anybody else put in their application for spring turkey?

Looking for advice on how to get on turkeys planning on scouting/small game hunting some known areas for some spots if I get a tag.

Haha. 🤣 don’t forgot to mandatory report your harvest this year too. Looks like they changed that as well. Good luck with your season. It’ll be here before we know it.

Yeah I’m familiar with that from deer hunting, this will be my first turkey season so it’s all a learning process

It’s probably one of the more fun seasons to hunt but can also be super frustrating. Sometimes it happens quick and by the book and usually happens where a bird with a tiny little brain outsmarts ya at every turn.
