PA Hunters: Ready for Spring?
 

Okay, who is going after a gobbler this spring? I' m gonna try it for my first time. I' m not sure what county I' m gonna be in, but most likely I will try to go up-state. I might go with my bow.

As our season is coming soon enough, we are booking hunts quite readily so I' ll probably do more guiding than hunting but I will for sure find time for myself.

PA86, good luck to you as you venture forth as a first time turkey hunter. Although a bow is a great challenge, being a novice, you may want to consider the shotgun...lol but nonetheless, you' ll have a great time as soon as the first thunderous gobble makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up.

Thanks Rob, I' d use a shotgun....but I don' t have one, LOL

My mind is still undecided on whether I will take a gun or a bow out but be sure that I will be out for the spring gobbler season. My initial game plan is to start scouting some public land up in the Poconos around some of the major lakes/" ponds" . I just bought a canoe and want to utilize it to get to some " out of the way" places where I won' t run into other hunters.

I just received two new calls from my wife for Valentine' s Day so, yes, I guess you could say that I am " pumped" ...:)

im ready....all i want to do before then is make a few more strikers and get better at mouth calling...but i can still hunt if neither get done...i duno where i will be..when i hunt alone it will be here in beaver co...then our normal spots are venango or forest...i hope we goto forest this year...so much more woods....trout fishing is so much better too....i cant wait for our trip..no matter where it is its always fun...trout fishing and turkey hunting all in one day....life cant be any better!

Nice sig pic there Mauser...and you gave me an idea. After my brother in law and I get our birds we can spend some time fishing from the canoe on our way back to the vehicles...:)

I' m counting down the days untill spring gobbler season starts...:D

We can' t wait! This will be my 2nd year and my daughter' s first year turkey hunting. She got a Mossberg Bantam 500 20g. with a red dot scope for her 12th birthday last month. So we will be using that this year. Opening day will be in Columbia county with the video camera rolling. I am so thrilled that she is excited about hunting! My husband and I will do some hunting together in Clinton county after my daughter goes a few times as well.

Good luck to all of you!

i' m getting the 835 ready for spring turkey too , but what about groundhog hunting , anybody here interested in that , it' s one of my favorites :D:D

RE: PA Hunters: Ready for Spring?
 

I have not groundhog hunted in years but I do have some fond memories of taking the 22 out on a hot summer day in pursuit of them. :)

i' ve been practicing with my chek-mate recurve since jan 1, i' m going to take out a big tom trad style[8D]:D

RE: PA Hunters: Ready for Spring?
 

Always ready for spring Turkey season. I have some new calls I wont to try!!!

RE: PA Hunters: Ready for Spring?
 

I can' t wait! This will be my first season out chasing gobblers in the northeast since my 5 year hiatus to Florida. I' ll be taking out my new 870 on her maiden voyage and trying some new calls.

RE: PA Hunters: Ready for Spring?
 

I am getting pumped up. I gotta get my new MightyMite all set-up and, I am going to attempt to take my first turkey with my bow this year. Geez, it has been 6 years (this spring will be lucky # 7) and I still havn' t got a turkey. I have came close on many occasions, but, just couldn' t finish it off. Well, this year, what am I doing, I am making it as challenging as it can be. :D (Not the obvious choice for someone who just wants to get their first turkey). I am going to be using my bow, like I said, plus, my friend and I will be filming each others hunts. It doesn' t get too much tougher than that. Hopefully the bow will be ready to go in about two or three weeks, then, I can shoot that till trout season comes in. Then, just keep shooting my bow and fishing till the big turkey day comes. :D

RE: PA Hunters: Ready for Spring?
 

I' m ready also,this will only be my second year turkey hunting,but after hearing my first gobbler holler last year....I' m hooked for life! What a great time to be in the woods. I' ll be going up near Knoxville PA to give it a shot.
Good luck to all.
