hunting trips
 

how many of you planning on going to different state to hunt turkey this year and is it because the change in senery or have better luck somewhere else

RE: hunting trips
 

I'll be goin to Ontario again this year.I always have a great time up there.The huntin is great and most importantly Adrian always does somethin that I get to come on here and razz him about.:D

RE: hunting trips
 

I just like getting to see different parts of the country. Maybe seeing how others do things. The birds don't seem much different. (they all drive me crazy) At home, there's a lot of pressure on the birds as the sport grows and hunting areas disappear.
I guess I just need the extra sleepless nights!

This Spring New Mexico and Mexico
99 more days, whoo hoo!

RE: hunting trips
 

I'll be headed to West Texas to Hunt Rio's the first part of April- Just a change of pace and the vast amount of birds Gobbling their heads off.

Why is it , its always me :D ...BT

RE: hunting trips
 

MO for the first time this year
Also going back to PA and possibly MD
Homestate of SC

Mainly to get more time in the woods.
Move north during the season and I can hunt from March 20th till the end of May

I always enjoy the challenge of a new state.

RE: hunting trips
 

Major travel year for this turkey hunter!!Headed to BT country that would be Ontario,Canada,yes with Jalvja and The man himself..Adrian J Hare:D..start in Ontario and head south to Pennsylvania...Excited to say the least ,good friends and gobblers...:)

RE: hunting trips
 

I put in for a Rio tag in Utah. I should know if I drew a tag in a couple of weeks.

RE: hunting trips
 

Going to start my year out in late March trying for a Florida Osceola.Need one for a slam. From there it will be South Dakota. I've been going out there for the last 6 years now. Love to hunt those Merriams! That hunt will be in mid- April. Late April will hunt here in my home state of Minnesota if I get drawn for a tag. In May I'll try my luck in Wisconsin.
I like to hunt to much to just limit myself to 5 days like our turkey season is here.

RE: hunting trips
 

Hey BT you had better watch Bobgobble he's on another team[&:].

RE: hunting trips
 

I'll be heading to Wy in late April for a merriam's hunt.Same as paintbrush said,5 days is not enough hunting time for a turkey addict.

RE: hunting trips
 

I'll be heading to Alabama around the end of March. Then most certainly back to my home state of North Carolina and neighboring Virginia. I would like to fit in either a Florida oceseola or a Montana/Dakota merriams if possible.

RE: hunting trips
 

I'll be watching BT Pat!!;)But then you went ahead and put Jalvja on his team too!!!Now I'm surrounded!!:D;)

RE: hunting trips
 

:D:D:Dsorry Bob but Jalvja knew the system I was using and signed up just in time. Sorry.....[:-]

RE: hunting trips
 

Boy everybody thinks this is unfair , But I don't being Jims shooting me birds :D. Then again I'll have to take Bob with me to my secret spots and have to let him shoot first being the host I am. I have to say I'm sure getting excited about this. Man if the locals where upset with me to this point ,wait til I'm done with the group hunt :D...BT

RE: hunting trips
 

[:o] Hey Adrian...what about me......[:o].......you guys will have to let me know when you come up & we will have to make arrangements to meet....afterall, the Turkey Spur Ranch is only about an hour from me...in fact you guys will be going right by my place to get to Adrians!!!!!! ;) Brampton Mike [8D]

RE: hunting trips
 

There's just no stopping once you start....I don't travel to hunt because I want to...I state-hop because I HAVE TO....it's in my blood! :D It's a combination of things...new scenery, new birds, discovering what's over the next ridge, lengthening my season and spending every available minute in the spring woods doing that which I most love to do. I've been hunting from mid-March until the 1st of June for the past 18 of the 21 years I've been turkey hunting, and I sure hope to keep doing it until they bury me (hopefully on some hardwood ridge where the turkeys can scratch acorns over my resting place).

This year will be my big western swing spring after FL...CA, NV(if drawn), UT(if drawn), CO, AZ(I got drawn!!! [8D]), WA, OR, ID, and hopefully an Indian Reservation in ND on the way home.
