This one aged well. The snow that was up to my waist in some areas a week ago is completely gone now. We're back on track for spring.

I agree, game farms are good for training a young dog because they are dumb and slow. It guarantees success and that's what you need when you are trying to introduce a new dog to it: lots of exposure. I did it 14 years ago with my current dog and it helped. I would never go there and then...

Turkeys cannot see at night. That is a fact. You can look it up in any science document or ask a wildlife biologist. That's why they sleep in trees. There may be an element to their vision where they can detect movement in the dark or see in front of them like we can, but they are daylight...

I'm willing to dry new recipes and preparations of it. But I will not be plucking one again

lol no you didn't offend me. I've tagged 10 turkeys in 18 seasons now and have yet to find a way I enjoyed eating it. I wouldn't call it "bad" but I don't enjoy it either. It's just very blah. It tastes like nothing. One time a friend smoked one for me and that was slightly better. But I...

Wild turkeys cannot see in the dark, just a FYI. Their vision is top notch in daylight, but they are borderline line blind at night. I don't set up my blind right on top of the roost. I set it up a ways out. Obviously I'm trying to avoid having to walk right past the roost to get to my...

No they don't. If I served wild turkey at Thanksgiving, no one in my extended family would show up. lol

Well now there's two of us Wild turkey is not anything I'd want to consume more than once a year.

The landscape sure changed dramatically in the past 48 hours here. Went from totally bare ground to a foot of snow.

I use a box call. I hunt from a portable blind that I set up in advance after I've located the roost. Get in there at 5am and stay until whenever. Sometimes I'll go back early in the evening for a hunt too. Quite often the turkeys I see in the morning that are too far away will all come back...

This has happened to me several times too. It's like they can't figure out one of their own just got blasted in the face by a 12 gauge.

Season A here, which starts Wed April 15.

A foot of snow here. The landscape went from brown to pure white in about 48 hours. And now we'll be below zero tonight again. Guess we're going backwards for a bit. Spring will have to wait.

Yes it does. Some opt for more of a challenge. I try to use every advantage that's legally available to me because I have a hard enough time being successful as it is.

It's not really my preference either. But I do what I have to do to try and be successful.

Bob has gotten to be an exponentially better hunter over the years. I remember when he first started this and constantly struggled. Those days are over, he is an accomplished upland hunter now.

I used to hunt late season years ago when there was a lottery. When I didn't draw season A or B, I'd have to hunt E or beyond. I actually did harvest a couple of birds hunting later in the season. But I would rather be fishing once that season opens so that's primarily why I prefer to turkey...

I bought my spring license the other day when I bought my 2026 angling license. I normally hunt season B here in MN but I have a conflict that time period, so I went with season A which starts on April 15.

Not a whole lot of sport or challenge involved with that
