We live 3/10 mile away from the asphalt county road below us. There was a pot hole that vehicles would hit before they fixed it. You could hear turkey all over that hill side gobble back in the day when we had lots of turkey.I didn’t know that the “shock gobble” was a thing until recently. It’s now one of my favorite things to do if I spot some turkeys. So much fun.
Add feral cats to the list..... and hogs!I'm slaying as many raccoons, opossums (when in season), and skunks as possible out here. Their numbers are ridiculously high.
Hoping to have a positive effect on turkey hatching out here before my population is all gone.
Exactly. We live three miles from town with only three houses in that three miles. Town people like to bring their domestic animals out here to release them with the Free Willy syndrome.
Avoid opening day, and weekends IMO. Get that boy in some camo and give some exploring in the woods a go. It doesn't have to be turkey season to trample around and sit for a bit to watch nature. In fact, outside of hunting season would be better so that you don't risk walking in on someone set up hunting. Make sure he is having fun, if you see an armadillo tell him to sneak up to it and catch it. He will have a ball trying to.Any advice for a first time turkey hunter? My 5 year old keeps asking to get in the woods so I figure we will give it a try this year. I’ve got all the gear already but never really gave it much effort. Will probably try to hunt on FTG WMA but they only had like 15 taken last year so the odds may be stacked against us.
