Snow-Day Gobbler

May 10, 2010

Neither rain, nor snow, nor wind or any other weather anomaly was going to keep Katelyn and me from turkey hunting this weekend. Postal workers unofficially follow that motto so why not turkey hunters. That was our plan Friday afternoon as we headed to our turkey hunting location after school to set up a ground [...]

Gale-Force Gobblers

May 5, 2010

It’s been an up and down turkey season here in Wyoming. I hope your season hasn’t been as bumpy or windy. The latest burr to get under my saddle was yesterday when Katelyn and I awoke to 40-plus mph winds and driving rain that quickly turned to snow. I didn’t want to [...]

Running, Gunning and Feeling Turkey Hunting's Greatest Rush

March 19, 2010

Growing up in eastern Wisconsin in the 1970s and early 80s we didn’t have turkey hunting at home. Though the family’s small farm shared a line fence with the Kettle Moraine State Forest, wild turkeys weren’t reintroduced there until I was a teenager. A huntable population was years away.
While my dad was my greatest influence [...]

Scope for Turkey Gun Makes Sense

March 12, 2010

With the combination of today’s shotshell technology and custom chokes, shooting a shotgun for turkey hunting is much more akin to shooting a slug gun or even a rifle than it is to swinging a scattergun on flying game. Oddly enough the closer the range, the more that holds true.

Do You Hear What I Hear?

March 10, 2010

It’s become increasingly obvious on my recent drives through the countryside that a big event is about to take place. Yes, the turkeys are strutting and the morning gobbling is increasingly becoming a common sound at sunrise.
It’s the signal that turkey season is upon us or about to kick off.
In recent years my turkey hunting [...]
