PA turkeys
whats going on with the turkey sightins & actvity for the PA turkeys? I will be hunting in 3C WMU in the Frendsville, Forest Lake area I know here in Ct I have not seen or heard alot of birds yet. Which I think is strange with such a milder winter I thought the would be hot to trot by now. Any sightins happening ?

I usually see a hen or 2 with poults feeding in the front. Nothing yet but I have plenty of turkeys in my woods.
I'll let ya know when they show up! |
How was the mast crop in your area? The areas I hunt are usually teaming with turkeys. But this year there were absolutely no acorns to speak of. All the game move elsewhere. No turkey, a couple deer, and no bear. But they should return when the food comes back.

I had a fairly good mast crop in my area this year. Last year wasn't to good.
I'll start seein them on the property soon, I'm sure. Good luck this year! |

they moved to my yard .i had 5 bucks in my yard near you. a lot of so called BIG TIME HUNTERS shot their bucks behind their homes with crossbow this year in dark of mornings baited in with apples. oh, i forget, the 4 year olds shot the bucks, they are such great hunters these kids today.:rolleyes: |
Saw the first hen on the front nine for this year.
Poults to follow.... |
heading to the hunting cabin this weekend to doa little scouting and check the game cameras. Happy easter to all!

Saw the first gobbler last morning. Beard was 8-9 ish and spurs looked over an inch from what I could see through the binocs.
They feed through the front of our property fairly regular. Poults should be in tow with the hens soon. |
scouting was slim to none however did see one longbeard that was a pig. had some hens on the game camera though
|
This year has been so much better than last. I've heard birds gobbling from first light and throughout the morning every day I have been out. I filled both tags so now if the kids will wake up I want to get them theirs. For the record, my plan was to get them theirs first but they think 3:30 am is too early
|
I agree with you 4evrhtn, I heard more gobbling this year and seemingly more birds than the last 2 or 3 years combined.
|
All this talk, anyone score a bird for the table?
We didn't. I can't get myself to shoot a bird off the front porch , or we would have. |
Bueller.........?
