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’ve always said deer hunting fills my freezer but turkey hunting fills my heart
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

Hopefully this is the year for my first spring turkey
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

I'm going out for a few hours in the morning. It wouldn't feel like thanksgiving to me if I didn't go hunting. I don't care if I don't see any deer I'm just doing it because it's like a tradition to hunt with my grandpa and uncle on thanksgiving morning. Good luck to everyone and happy thanksgiving

Why is no one talking about the 6.5mm creedmoore. It kicks like a .243. It out performs most calibers in its class in penetration and accuracy, and now every ammo manufacturer makes it. Cheap ammunition. Most manufacturers offer this caliber in their traditional short action options. My .02$.

Well I got my .243 and sited it in at 100 yards. I actually traded my old bow for. It only had 10 shells fired threw before it became mine. It's a brand new gun

Savage 30-06 with Nikon 3x9x40 scope. I have killled a buck with it every season since I bought it. Not all real big bucks but towards the end I'm not picky.
Only 124 Days till Spring Turkey Season!

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.
