Getting lucky in the turkey woods is a good thing and a bad thing. What a celebration when you bag that special, sneaky tom or maybe a pair of longbeards! However, filled tags mean you end up watching turkey hunting on television and longing to be outdoors.
The answer to this dilemma is easy: Hunt in a neighboring state. The National Wild Turkey Federation has made this process exceedingly easy with a quick reference guide that lists the season dates, bag limit, and licensing information for each state in one simple location. You can quickly access opening day and plan accordingly. Check it out.
Turkey Country’s annual Spring Turkey Hunting Guide gives NWTF members an edge in the realm of scattered flocks and turkey dogs with exclusive information on where to go, along with the basics — season dates, hunter education requirements, bag limits and more.
Spring turkey hunting presents a unique set of challenges. As always, patience plays an important part of any successful turkey hunt, but seeing a group of jakes running toward your fighting calls or busting up a flock and calling them back will get even the most seasoned longbeard lover fired up.
