With no gun. She doesnt want to see one get shot, but wants to hear a gobble and see one come into a call. I know I could go to the wma in the afternoon, but dont want to educate a bird if I could have killed him. Any suggestions on places that have good turkey populations, but dont allow hunting around Huntsville. Like maybe montesano mountain, or a place like that? Or do we wait till May 1st and have at it anywhere? Thanks.

Tell her about all the ticks and spiders. She will have to spray down with harmful pesticide and if and when she gets a tick on her, she will have to undergo a series of lime disease shots. Also, you will have to check her for ticks for several days after you get back.

Watch YouTube turkey hunting videos outside -- close enough

Im excited she wants to go and enjoy the outdoors. If she gets a sense of the thrill, then she will be more agreeable when I want to hunt. I dont mind using a day during the season to do something together, especially if it gets me in the woods. Just dont want to mess up hunting spots to do it.

In all seriousness, setup a blind on a pasture; that's what I've done, it's close to my house, and I take my daughters hunting & we're inside of it & the wildlife (deer & turkey) never know the difference... She can bring a book, iPad, whatever & move around... And if something happens, great... That's what I would suggest

Sounds like she just wants to go hiking. Just take her to a state park and hike and take a few calls and try to strike one. Let's be honest, hunting without a gun is just hiking in camo.

PaintRock0 is right. Find a place if possible and take her. The Hays greenway suggestion is good. Not sure if Monte Sano or Blevins Gap HLT trails would have any you could strike. If you make the time with her she'll appreciate it.
