I'll admit I was pretty upset when I first saw the layout for this year as we have been partaking in the Iowa youth turkey seasons for the past 8 years. This was our last year to play the youth season game in my family. IMO the youth turkey season is the greatest of any kind of youth seasons...
I feel like I'm hogging this page. Anyhow I tagged out yesterday after my oldest daughter scored. Quickest hunt we have ever been on, these birds were buying what we were selling. Looking forward to getting my dad out now. Hope you guys are getting out and making memories.
I had a whopping 15 minute public land hunt Monday morning. I set up on one of my kid's popular spots to bag a bird during youth season and had no idea what to expect. The only roost gobbles I could hear were a mile plus away. I planned a long sit so was happy something could walk by...
Opening morning success for my kid! We did a fieldset on the edge of a woods that the birds had been using a couple of days prior. To our surprise opening morning, the birds were a no show. We could tell the farmer had done some manure spreading and tree trimming the day before so we figured...

I have done a turkey chase...
What a year. I went from Hero to Zero this spring. Going 3 for 3(between the kids birds and my first one) on hunts to a 8 hunt dryspell. I knew I just had to keep going to catch a tom in the right mood. It was a season of toms skirting/ignoring the decoys. When they did play they found...
I'd go with the 6s. There shouldn't be much if any kick difference between those two shells. The first ever youth tom we shot was with a 2 3/4 federal 6 at 20 yds the bird dropped like a brick. Now both kids are using 3" 5 Turkey Thugs. They tend to kill these birds real dead with that 20...
This was her first year as a non-youth hunter. So we last minute did the online hunter's ed and hunters ed field day and got her all the license requirements for an adult hunter. Then the biggest trick was picking a season to fit around her softball schedule. That left us 2 hunts for 1st and...
