RE: Need advice on Oklahoma turkeys
Western Oklahoma has a lot of birds. Actually the word a lot doesnt even describe how many birds there are. I hunt in the County Woodward. The farmers there hare turkeys and most are more than happy to let you hunt. Weve been hunting this one guys land for 17 years and he gets mad if we dont shoot every turkey we see, same with deer. Black kettle is supposadly the best, but i dont hunt public land so i cant tell you much about it. If you go to the panhandle of the state, theres Rios along with Merriems. Best breeding time is about the 3rd week in April but a lot depends on the weather. Whenever it gets to where you dont wnat to hunt cause its so hot, thats peak breeding time. lol. The terrain is sandy with scattered hills. Evergreen patches dot the countryside. Theres plenty of woods to keep turkeys roosting but there usually small and open into big grassy flats. Hope you get one.
