Today’s topic: Spring turkey hunting can be a lot of fun, but preparation is key
Scout the Area: Start scouting your hunting area. Look for turkey signs like tracks, droppings, feathers, and roosting spots. Early mornings or late evenings are best for hearing gobblers and identifying the roost.
Check Gear: Make sure your gear is in good working condition. This includes your shotgun ammo, calls, and your decoys. Don't forget about camo and a comfortable seat cushion. If you’re missing anything or need an upgrade- shop now.
Calling: Start practicing your turkey calls. Listen to recordings of turkey calls for reference. Being able to produce realistic sounds will increase your chances of success.
Regulations: Make sure you're familiar with the local regulations (hunting season dates, bag limits, legal shooting hours, etc.).
Fitness: Turkey hunting sometimes involves a lot of walking, especially when you're moving between roosting sites or calling from different positions.
Mentally Prepare: Being mentally prepared for long, quiet waits can make the experience more enjoyable.
