Gobble gobble Spring Turkey 2025

[BEvans]

Curious how yall keep the fan open for a picture when hunting alone and can't hold it open. I gave up after my 3rd attempt so I could paddle out before dark.
I did get a bonus critter on the way out

I do wish I tried a little harder for a picture in the field, the fan is prettier than I initially thought.

Use the selfie timer on your phone
Mine goes up to 10 seconds, enough time to make things right.

Another useful tip is to turn the video mode on and then try different poses positioning the animal whether turkey or deer at different angles. You can then just go through the video and take screenshots when you like what you are seeing. Works really well for making fish and deer look much bigger than they were in person haha

Dang I should've thought about that. Too much adrenaline for my brain to work I suppose. I appreciate the tips.

Got a chance to get out and hang my tag on turkey #1 for the 2025 season a couple days ago !

Met ten mushroom hunters afield, making turkey encounters a tall order. I tried pulling a private land tom off 3 hens this evening, but no dice. Precip and soil temp were just right this year, and mushrooms are everywhere. We all made out like bandits.

Never taken turkey hunting too seriously before this year. Looking forward to it.

Do you dehydrate and freeze the ones you don’t eat? Or just freeze them?

I dehydrate and store in a paper bag.
