when do you get your bird
 

Hey guys. I was just wondering when most of you tag your bird/birds. Do you get him in the beginning middle or late in the season. Just curious. thanks

RE: when do you get your bird
 

early, late and in the middle, whenever the bird is right! [8D]

RE: when do you get your bird
 

Our season is late season to begin with. We don't get to start hunting them until the end of April/ begining of May and to top it off, I shot my bird the last week of the season at the end of May.

RE: when do you get your bird
 

Well.......i try 2get him in the beginning. But some of the better hunting may be near the end of a season as most hunters have quit by then and gobblers find themselves lonely as hens are nesting.

Whenever. If I can scout out 2-3 times and track down some of the big boys, it could be the first of the season, weather permitting and all that jazz. The last couple of years, I have taken at the end of the season, but that doesn't mean that is the norm around here for me.

May 5th, 6:00A.M. the past 2 years

We only get two tags here in arkansas so i try to space them out to make most of the season. I dont like to fill both my tags and then the rest of the season be wasted. I wait and check the birds out and when the time is right i'll bag my birds. I'll take one at the beggining of the season and during mid season i'll scout and look for a bigger one and take during mid to end season.

seems i have the best luck later in the season. have shot bigger turkeys later in the season and the hens leave the toms earlier in the day

RE: when do you get your bird
 

I get them throughout the season,but generally the first week of April has always been a hot one for me.Year to year.Our season usually runs MAr 20th or so,and always ends May 15th.Our birds start gobbling in mid-feb.
