Wildlife Game Masters

Tghe only thing left is late muzzleloader season.. im ready for spring turkey hunting! Im curious if there will be a contest?

absolutely.

Getting my hip replaced in March, but Doctor says I'll be back in the woods by the opening day.  Might even get a second tag and my wife will be going out this year.

Well im right there with you because im getting knee surgery the first week of march.. hope it works out for you so you can hunt.

must of been a ruff season sounds like you guys got pretty banged up . heal up fast and get back to the woods. the funny thing about it is you guys probably scheduled the operations arround hunting lol i would of.

Of course had to schedule around hunting.. if I couldnt hunt then there wouldnt be anything left for me to do. I lucked out and ill be able to walk again by the time spring turkey rolls around! if not though ill be buying a hover round

I saw 6 strutters today with about 15 hens.  Its getting close!

there are turkeys everywere got to love spring

My 13 year old son shot his first tukey Saturday during the Youth Hunt. Had action right away. Four gobblers were coming in right off the roost. Must have busted us, because they shut up right in front of us. Couldn't keep Zack still. Everytime they gobbled, he'd look at me and move his gun in a different direction. Moved to a new location about 8:00. Have been seeing birds in this area. Had one answer, but couldn't get him too fired up. Moved a few times and was able to see 3 strutters and hens in the field below us. Set up again and really hammered on the Game Over diaphram call. Cutt and yelped real hard trying to get the hens fired up. Then silence. Nothing happened for about 15 minutes. I started gawking around and a hen pops up about 35 yards away. Then a gobbler. They get behind some tree tops and I whisper to Zack to slide his gun to the left. He did a great job lining up the gun. Then a second gobbler stepped out at 25  yards. I made a few warning putts, he stopped, and Zack did the rest!!     What a great day!!!     It's going to be hard to top that moment!

It had a 9 inch beard, 3/4 and 7/8 inch spurs and weighed 19 lbs. A good 2 year old bird. Photo can be seen in the Trophy Room.

Unfortunately, I did not get the shot on film. I had been taping the hunt, but turned off the camera during the lull in the action. Maybe it was a good thing he didn't come in gobbling up a storm. No time to get overly excited!

The youth hunters pounded the turkeys saturday. My dad is a taxidermist and we got in 12 birds saturday that the youths killed! I cant wait for this saturday!!

My nephew harvested a triple bearded gobbler on Saturday.  The beards were 9 3/4, 5 7/8 and 4 3/4.  The pics are in the trophy room for viewing.

good luck to everyone on saturday and be safe. i cant make it out,i have to work so get the videos and pictures and post the stories. my brother and i are heading out monday with bows in hand to try  our luck. he is pulling the trigger first and ill be the camera man.  looks like it time to play the game again.
