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...

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...

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...

Kinda blurry footage as it was a fly down bird with not the best camera light yet. But here is my first bow turkey shot yesterday.

What a morning! I had the spot scouted but they really didn't follow the decoy script as the toms were all about live hens and fighting other toms, till we finally coaxed some hens to check us out. Then the whole shitery came to check us out. We had 30-40 turkeys all with in 10-30 yds. I...

For years now I've had people telling me I need to bow hunt turkeys. My biggest thing holding me back has always been the chance of crippling the birds. However, I'm so dialed in with killing them with a shotgun with 30-40 dead birds under my belt that I could use a challenge. I just about...

How does it work? Can I buy 2 tags now and double any day of all 4 seasons/ shoot one 1st season and one 2nd season? Or is it like gun hunting, where one of the birds needs to be shot in 4th season. Not much info on this topic out there and I'm getting different confusing answers. Thanks!

Thought I'd throw up some photos and story of the hunt for 4th season. Try to keep it short winded. Went to my 4th season farm unscouted not knowing what to expect and got set up in the dark on a bean field. Roost gobbles were coming from where I had parked the truck.(Dang it!) Sure enough...

Anyone else hunt the third season? What a crappy weather season we were dealt. With the crap forecast, Dad and I decided to hit the road at 2 in the morning on Thursday down to our annual southern iowa 3rd season turkey vacation to get at least one nice day of hunting(which ended up being not...

The hardest part of youth season hunting is getting the stars to align when you can actually take your kid hunting between sports and school activities. This was going to be her last year to be able to turkey hunt with a youth tag and I was chomping at the bit to get her out. It wasn't till...

After taking my daughter youth hunting a few times in September and fighting heat and mosquitoes without any success I was pretty anxious to get in a stand last Thursday morning with a freeze alert for my first bow sit of the fall. So I climbed a ladder stand on a public piece that treats me...

This is my entry for the year. This was my 4th season bird, my biggest hooks to date. He was a tricky tom to get. My first encounter with him was two days prior. When I had a pair of toms gobble at every call I gave them through the woods all the way to the field edge I was hunting. When...

Great Year.... Not so much in line of fired up toms but this was our best year for killing birds, with only being skunked on one hunt and thats because the toms well within range didn't want to be on video. I'll share a few of the hunts from this year. First is my daughter. After...

For the past 5 years now my dad, brother, and I have been traveling south 2nd season to hunt this particular farm. None of us have come up empty handed on the 3 day weekend since. [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] This year I decided to let the normal fight go for awhile then things got x-rated...

Both my kids filled their youth tags this year! We were not expecting much on this hunt. It was a local Wednesday evening hunt and wind was howling. She hadn't got her turn to hunt yet so we went anyway. After dinking around trying to decide where to hunt we finally got set up at 520pm. So...

We were finally able to make it out yesterday morning after all the Easter shenanigans from the weekend. We were greeted by oodles of roost gobbles while setting up...something my daughter had never heard before. None were very close however but I had high hopes being in the middle of them...

First time hunting anything my 10yo daughter gets a longbeard 2 hrs into the hunt. Quite the show, we had two toms come in to the decoys to 15 yds struttting and gobbleing. Watching my daughter kill her first turkey trumps every hunting experience I've ever had. One great memory for her and I.

Here is what walked up to me for 2nd season. I've gone first season shotgun my whole life but this year my dad got out of it so I ended up making the track down to southern Iowa solo opening weekend 2nd season. I'm pretty tickled as I've been on a big buck dry spell for a long time. I have him...
