Squirrelhunter91 Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Re: uhh..another turkey season Yep. Never quit. Think about the feeling you will have when you do connect. It will happen. It only took me 2 years ( spring & fall seasons ) to get my first bird. I shot mine in my second fall season, last October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drkillemquick Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Re: uhh..another turkey season Took me a few years to get my first, it wouldn't be so special if shooting one was easy9 mind you some of thge guys on here make it look pretty easy). Hang in there you will get one, and when you do it will all have been worth it. Good luck this year, can't wait to see pictures!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Turkeystalker Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Re: uhh..another turkey season There are three important factors while turkey hunting. patients....patients......patients....... this could be the year.. I wish you a state record. Call sparingly, and know your land that you hunt. Have you roosted any birds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowtechTurkeyHunter Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Re: uhh..another turkey season Where in Iowa do you live? Do you have private land to go on? What public land do you hunt ... let me know maybe we could hook up for a weekend depending on what season you go for... let me know Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKYhunter Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Re: uhh..another turkey season Hang in there. I guess I was lucky as it took me about 20 minutes into my first turkey hunt ever to kill a long beard. That was twelve or thirteen years ago. Why don't you consider trying a blind. Get out do some scouting, set up a blind, and wait there all day. Set up a decoy or two also. Give it a shot it just might break the ice for ya!

beagleboy Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Re: uhh..another turkey season Never give up. It took me two spring seasons to bag my bird and a great bird he was. Talk to the members here, they offer great advice. Maybe we can figure out why you not are scoring on the birds and help get you on some nice gobblers. Good luck to you.

toddyboman Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Re: uhh..another turkey season patients is a big key. Dont call to loud. Dont move or if you do very slow. Roosting the birds always helps. Dont give up. SOme of the best time is from 9am to 12, when all the hens go to the nest. GOod luck, you will get one.

elkoholic Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Re: uhh..another turkey season If the turkeys are in the area then patience is important. If you are not at least getting opportunities than you may need to reevaluate your setup. All of the patience in the world will not do much good if the turkeys are not in the area or they will not come to your setup. My thought is, if there are turkeys where you are hunting be persistent, but be willing to adjust your hunting tactics to achieve your desired goal, that being a delicious meal from the bird you harvested. Where to setup, calling technique (aggressive or meek), get in front of the birds to cut them off or try to call them back, these are the things that separate the good turkey hunters from the rest of the crowd. One thing is certain, if one tactic isn't working you have little to lose from changing up the game plan a bit. Good hunting, I wish you luck.
