I always considered myself a good hunter and woodsman and when we decided to start turkey hunting, I thought it would be no problem to kill a turkey on our place in Alabama. We saw lots of turkeys the first deer season we were on this place. Well come that first hunt we made we had birds gobbling all over the place and they made total fools of my brother and I. They ran us in the ground. We had no clue turkeys were so hard to hunt. Fast farward to the second year. We had birds but they were logging on our place so we were limited on areas we could hunt. Got my arse kicked again. My brother was able to finally kill his 1st bird on the 3rd day of the hunt. After learning from the many many mistakes we made and lots of reading on this site and advice from the sure nuff killers in here, our 1st trip this year my brother and I killed 3 birds in a 2 day hunt. We were about as proud as 2 men could be,because we actually was able to play the whole game. It took me 3 years to kill a bird that I had originally thought I was just gonna walk in the woods and kill. I have never hunted turkeys in any other state so I can't say it's easier but as been said many times before" if you can kill a turkey in Alabama you can kill one anywhere" and I believe this to be true.
