Turkey Hunting Whether it's spring or fall doesn't matter to this bunch. Great tips on calling, bustin flocks, using blinds and more.

Most of the time about 15 minutes but have shot a bird less than 5 minutes from the house. The biggest problem with hunting close is you get into the woods to early and sunrise takes forever

It takes me about 10 minutes from my driveway to the place where I do all my turkey and deer hunting.

At home about 5 minutes by foot, at our lease about 20 minutes. I have worked several Gobblers within about 250 to 300 yards from my back door. I guess I' m really lucky.

Depends on the species I' m after. If I chase Easterns, it takes me a little over an hour to drive, then a 45 minute hike. If I am after Merriam' s, it is a 7 hour drive and a 4 day camp.

Depending on the " HoneyHole" I' m hunting.The average distance is 18 - 30 miles One way.
But...There are some spots in another county,I will drive to.Because the hunting pressure is lighter,The longer drive is worth the type of hunt I' m wanting.ie - No other hunters other than my partners for at least 3 -4 miles.
