I have 6 sets of turkey call parts lying on my shop bench waiting to be assembled with a grad student. Turkeys are going to be in trouble this season.

Not planning on staying in Denver. Probably gonna head south, depending on what I find.

Wisconsin zone 6, week B. A month to go. Was thinking of getting a new shotgun just for turkey. I should probably get on that
My Winchester bargain purchased during Black Friday sales turned up last week at my Cabelas. Hope's yours is in stock and ready to ride home with you pronto.
Enjoy your hunt in Old Mexico---This was my favorite breed of Turkey, really enjoyed this hunt.
I loved turkey hunting and envy all of you fellows--have good hunts!
I found out later that I probably could have registered for some kind of a "slam", but I would have a hard time proving it now. As the Goulds were hunted outside our back door so to speak ( Arizona ), The Eastern, Rio Grande, and Merriams were with friends and many of them have passed. Maybe, if the people who took us for the Osceola and Occellated are still in business they probably could provide paperwork, who knows.
Anyway, one of the hardest to hunt for me anyway was the Goulds, mainly, like the Coues Deer, because of terrain. I though the Merriams were the easiest---BUT---I absolutely loved hunting the Flint Hills of Kansas, beautiful country.
Which breed do you fellows find is the hardest to hunt ?

Will be hunting here in Kansas. I've never been a turkey hunter but the kid wants to go so I'll give a try and do my best to at least give him an opportunity.

I've hunted Easterner, Rio Grande, and Merriams. I would have to say easterners are the hardest of the 3 I've hunted by far.
No comparison between farmyard bird Eastern hunting and chasing birds in CO. Back east all I had to do was walk to the edge of a field and setup. These mtn birds in CO make you work.
My one and and only Osceola did make me work however, it took about 5 days of chasing him around.

What a beautiful bird congratulations GrayRider
That is beautiful bird. Congratulations on the hunt AND
on completing your "slam". Not many finish "slams" these days as they take a fair amount of time, money and determination
Congratulations!

Public land in IL and Public land in WI. I haven’t killed a turkey in a few years so i’m really hoping to get it done this spring.
First year getting after turks. Going to spend a couple days chasing them at my hunting camp in Maine and then I'll chase them on public land in the Catskills of NY.
Have weddings and other obligations taking up my prime hunting weekends but hopefully can get my first bird!

A half dozen new Turkey calls under construction, including my new two-tone design. They have gotta be ready by Monday morning. We are getting close.
I am building these with a grad student that wants to learn to do a little woodworking.
