Just some fun until fall turkey season opens.
This past spring there were five mature gobblers that I saw on my farm. My DH shot one. By the last week of the season, there were two (I'm assuming the guys on the neighbor's farm got one or two). I shot one the last day. Now I know there are more around and of course there were a whole slew of jakes that will be crazy two year olds this coming spring (
), but I'm still just seeing this one mature gobbler hanging around my hunting area. So it got me to thinking (dangerous, I know
). I always read about what a prize it is to harvest a fall gobbler. But I don't think I want to shoot him this fall because he will be oh so much fun to hunt next spring. I'd rather take a hen or even better, a young tender poult.
So how about you? Do you target fall gobblers? hens? poults? Or don't you really care?
Gosh I can't wait for fall season to open! (1 month and 2 days, not that I'm counting or anything.
)
Oh and why isn't the "new poll" option available in this forum?
