I cant believe

That the season ends and most have bailed already. Turkeys are still a great topic.

I will never leave.

I'm still around!

I don't post much, but maybe I need to start because I love to talk about turkey hunting!

Well lets chew the fat.

I heard 2 gobblers absolutely hammering away yesterday morning while I was fishing - I'm talking about 50 gobbles or more, and it was 7:30 before I started fishing. Saw a different bird strutting in a field on Thursday. We need to get to work to extend the season into June. Of course, gotta raise the limit too.

How about a couple of bonus birds - one for May and one for June?

lets get it on.

That would be a good bonus. I bet the hunting pressure would die down by June.

You know some people are still killing them and never quit. It would be nice to get a 1 bird a month limit in the off season though

New Zealand is open right now I bet. Might be able to get us a tag for a Goulds or Oscellated this summer to pass the time.

New Zealand
Now that would be awesome.

They say all you have to do is just walk up to them and shoot them, sort of like them dumb birds on your club this year

Sounds good to me.

Ill take what I can get, same as you. Jakes and all right.

Thats right!

Hey guys

Love to talk turkey. I when down to my farm this week.... to spray my clover. I saw one long beard and five hens.

The long bread... knew the season was out. He walk right in front of my big red and didn't even get in a hurry.

Turkeys and tracks everywhere. The land owner next to me saw a hen with 8 pretty large poults..yesterday.

I thought I would just chew the fat with you guys. I love to hunt and managed my farm for deer and turkeys.

My whitetail clover is 24 inches tall and good like a golf course. I bushhogged it two week ago
and spray in it Thursday.

I have plant a lot of summer crops for my turkeys and deer. This the best thing I have ever do for my deer. This clover is the best ever.

Take care guys and lets keep talking turkey.

Already planning for next spring right now! I pushed a couple new plots for chufa this afternoon.

I talked to a couple buddies last weekend that heard 2 turkeys gobbling on my place while they were fishing, the funny thing about it is that I hunted in that area 3 good mornings without hearing a turkey.

Ha they just got started a little late.

I've about had enough of a break. Ready for next season.

If you want to go to New Zealand I can line you up. I was down there last June and it was one of my best trips ever.

Give us some details becuase I sure wouldn't mind going sometime. How many birds can you kill and how much does it cost?

I wouldn't recommend going for just a turkey.

That being said, it is a wonderful hunting destination and the scenery is second to none. It is a wife friendly hunt and I would highly recommend that you take her with you.

If I were to go again, I would want to hunt tahr and chamois again. That was two of the most challenging hunts that I have been involved with. The turkeys are a piece of cake. I didn't shoot one but it wouldn't have been a problem. There probably isn't a limit of the number of birds that you could take in a weeks time. New Zealand has no game laws, limits, or seasons.

I am unsure of the cost for a trophy fee but it wouldn't be much. If you included a couple of turkeys into a tahr/chamois/red deer hunt, it could cost up to $10,000 for a 7 day trip. It just depends on what you would want to hunt. You could go for a 5 day hunt and hunt one animal for around $4500 for the two of you and add a few turkeys to that hunt.

Airfare to get there would be around $2000 or so per person.

Let me know when you want to go.

I saw two hens and one in half strutt coming to work yesterday. I should have stopped and took a pic to post.
