I was able to finish up my spring season on Tuesday. Since the start of the season I’ve been messing with a bunch with multiple gobblers and hens that make their way to a 50 acre field not long after flying down. They would occasionally gobble at my calls but I couldn’t get them to commit...
Tough 1st week in North Carolina. On the land I hunt gobblers are covered up with hens and not very responsive to calling so far. Yesterday afternoon this gobbler and a hen were already in the isolated field where I was going to set up and I was able to get close enough for a shot.
Well now another speed bump for my 2020 turkey season has come up. The county I hunt in here in NC is starting a 9 PM to 6 AM curfew tonight until further notice. Youth season starts tomorrow and the regular season starts the next Sat. I live about an hour's drive away from where I hunt. My...
Well, now all my out of state turkey hunting plans look to be gone for the spring of 2020. The Texas hunt I had scheduled for last week was canceled by the land owner and now my May trip to Neb has been shot down. Now I'm just hoping I'll be able to make the hour drive to where I hunt here in...

The guy at the local shop where I have been buying my reloading supplies said he was told it was one of the powders being bought up by the military for...
Keep in mind that these turkeys may, or may not, be in the same area in the spring, depending on food sources and nesting areas. Also, as the spring and mating season progresses and hens start laying and setting on nests you will probably not see them in large groups like you do in the fall in...
The one that comes to my mind 1st is the 8mm Rem Mag model 700 BDL that my Dad's good friend bought back in the 1980s. It should have been a great elk rifle, which is what he bought it for, but it kicked the everloving snot out of him and he was always scared to death of it and was never able...
Turkeys are pretty tolerable of popup blinds, or a natural blind will work. If you can pattern their travel to and from the roost area maybe you can set up to intercept them going or coming.
