Spring Turkey Hunting Tips

View:

Turkey is a large North American bird and is a staple diet of the North America. Americans were introduced to Turkey by the pilgrims in 1620 and since then there have been various varieties or breeds of Turkey which are available. Turkey is a delicacy mainly used during the Thanksgiving. The most common breeds of Turkey are Bourbon Red, White Holland and the Bronze.

Turkey Hunting is a favorite recreational sport as well as a profession of a few people. Though, not everyone can go into a forest and hunt for Turkeys. You need to have a game hunting license as well as a Turkey permit. The hunting game license can be of different kinds which are : small game, big game, conservation legacy, sportsman, super sportsman, junior hunting , nonresident super sportsman and nonresident hunting. Each of these licenses require a fee which is mandated by the state laws. Also for each kind of hunting license there are residency rules imposed by the state. One person is allowed to have one Turkey permit in a year.

Now for getting a license for hunting you will need to show that you have got the license earlier before. If you are a beginner then you will need to take a course for hunter education. Also, if you want to do bow hunting then you will need to take another course in bow hunting.

The main season when Turkey hunting is done is either spring or fall. Areas where Turkey hunting is done are usually in the bottom lands, wooded areas and are away from the human habitat. The reason is simple because you need to have silence and stillness while hunting for the Turkey. The equipment that you can use while doing Turkey hunting is bow or shotgun.

What is the definition of a good hunting rifle or shotgun you will ask ? A good hunting shotgun is one which is specifically made for hunting and can withstand years of rough use while hunting. Toughness is one factor that is of prime importance than a few others. That is why knowing what to look for in a shotgun is important so that you can make an informed decision.

You cannot use the rifles or handguns for Turkey hunting. The other requirements are that you cannot use bait for hunting and dogs are only allowed during the fall season.

If you know the rules and have experience in hunting then Turkey hunting can be the best recreational sport for you.

Spring Turkey Hunting Tips

For the majority of turkey hunters, springtime hunting is where it is. Autumn is a busy time for hunters it is deer season, upland hunting season, waterfowl hunting time- the list goes on and on. For that reason, most hunters put off the turkey hunting until the spring, but this fact can make autumn turkey hunting so satisfying. Hunting turkeys during the fall is less crowded, and you will have less competition for the birds. In addition to that, the fact that autumn tends to be turkey eating seasons, and you can see how forgoing the deer hunting for a little turkey hunting in the fall can be a very ideal thing.

Turkey hunting during fall is an altogether different beast than spring turkey hunting, and it can be quite a bit more challenging. In the spring, the male turkeys are on the prowl, looking for a hen, so it can be fairly simple to lure one away from the pack by making hen calls. In the fall, the male turkeys are not so interested in the hens and instead tend to roam around in packs together (likewise for the hens, of course, but hunting mature male turkeys is preferable). Segregating these groups can be a little bit harder and needs a different techniques than spring turkey hunting.

When you hunt in the autumn season, it is best to stick to a certain progression of activities. The ideal situation is to stumble upon a pack of male turkeys and take position hidden from view. When you are out of eye shot of the turkeys,ideally at least 100 yards away from them start trying to call them in to you. Now, it is essential here to not make hen calls as you would in spring hunting.

If the whole pack of male turkeys moves in on you, or if they do not make any respond to your calls, you need to go on to plan B. Instead of trying to call the turkeys, scatter the pack. You can do this by rushing up on them and by making loud noises, or you can utilize a turkey hunting dog that is trained to scatter (you do not want the dog to chase them too far away once they scatter).

At this point, it is just a matter of waiting. Because the turkeys are not trying to mate like they are in the spring, they are a little less motivated to respond to calls. You may have to repeat the scatter and call routine a few times before somebody takes the bait. This is the fun part for most autumn turkey hunters, however. Still, this activity has a lot of fun.
