I wish the season would open in the middle of April and run to the middle of May. If I had to guess that will probably never happen because less hens would be getting breed if the season opened in April. I think that's why we start in may, because it give the gobblers a chance to breed hens in April.

If you don't mind me asking turkeyfeathers where do you hunt? Or where do you live. In my neck of the woods there is plenty of state land to hunt and it's not hard to find areas that are not crowded at all. It might be a bit of a drive for ya depending on your location, but there is excellent state land hunting around here

Thanks for the info on that goosifer

I tried looking up the answer to my question in my regulations book but I think my fiancé tossed it. My question is, is deer season still open in certain parts of New York State. It seems like I read some post about guys still out hunting and I was curious about the dates in different areas of the state.

I always try to remind myself to keep my head down, but I know the turkeys I have missed was because of the ol turkey fever and peeking. And I know that could be the reason for the miss last year. I did kill one the first day last year but every two or three years it seems like I have to get a miss in there somewhere. I hate when I do it but I guess thats part of hunting.

I know I check mine now every morning. I was sick!! I hunted the bird 4 mornings in a row and when I finally got him to commit I miss!! But it was still a fun hunt

A few years ago I got permission to hunt a farm that is great for turkeys. I killed nice tom there the first year I hunted it and last year I missed a beatiful bird there. I'm really not used to hunting field birds so I thought I missed judged the distance but when I got back to my truck I noticed my choke was extremely lose. I still wonder if that could have been the reason why I missed. Do any of you guys reading this think a lose choke would screw with the pattern enough to cause a miss?

Right toward the end of deer season I saw 8 long beards together on my property. That made me happy. Those were the first turkeys I seen all fall and winter there. I have seen a couple nice flocks where I work

I feel the same way turkeyfeathers. There is just something special to me about being out in the spring woods. If I had to choose from spring turkeys or deer it would definitely be spring turkeys. I look forward to it all year. It seem like it takes so long for it to get hear and in a wink of an eye it's over

Well good luck to ya I hope you get one. After I killed my first spring gobbler I was hooked! Everything about spring turkey hunting is great. It's a wonderful time to be in the woods. Just listening to everything in woods wake up first thing in the morning on a spring day is worth being in the woods. Killing a gobbler really tops it off! Or just hearing them makes me happy

That's what I'm talking about!!! I love to hunt deer, but not as much as I love to hunt spring gobblers. I'm already getting pumped up for May

Didn't see a deer today. It's like they magically disappeared. Oh well still enjoyed the woods. Not one drop of snow out my way

A guy in Salamanca ny. I will get his card an post it if he doesn't mind. I talked to him about putting his info on here a while back and he really didn't give me a yes or no answer

The guy who does mine boils, cleans and does a hydro dip. He has tons of different patterns.

I got the skull back from the buck I shot opening day. I'm very happy with the way It came out. I still like the snow camo better though
