Does Alabama have good turkey populations? Some of the posts in here got me worried. I just moved here from Tn where I’ve gotten my limit of birds on public land for the last 25+ years. Not that I’m good at hunting them I’m just Turkey lucky.

For whatever reason, killing birds in Tennessee is a lot easier. Especially comparing public to public. Don’t know that it’s a population thing.

Tennessee is an excellent place to hunt turkey! Gobblers in Alabama are more harder to kill I must say.


Hunting brings out the worst in people.

There’s plenty of turkeys to hunt in Alabama. It just depends on the amount of effort you put in on how your experience goes. Get out there.

Great population in a few areas, good population in a few areas and average or below in most now unfortunately.


Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!

I’ve seen some sign the past 40 years, a few tracks and some feathers here and there, and I’m getting close I believe - I’m thinking any day now.

How many turkeys is y’all’s limit up there? I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed unless you’re hunting in Jackson county.

It used to be 4 now it’s 2.
I’ll be fine. Don’t have to kill to have a good hunt. Just want to be able to play the game.

Right there’s your problem- the only Toms in AL wear their nice pants to Jacks to get biscuits.

Remember you’re looking for ghost sign, gotta get creative. They are tricky, shapeshifter like critters.

Day 4
1Tom, 1 coyote, 2 pigs.
The Tom came in hard held up about 40 yards and trotted off the other way. We went around him and called him in to about 50/60 yards and he decided not to commit. And went left of us. Never came back in. Never gobbled again. Had a coyote come to the call about 5 mins after the turkey. And we Judie’s two hogs in the swamp on the way out.
