Title: Plans for 2012 Turkey season
Post by: Jay on July 11, 2011, 09:46:14 AM
As usual I'll hit Iowa at home season 3 and 4, and Kansas. I usually work a trip in with a OG member somewhere. Being I need a Rio and a Merriam for a slam, I might look into hitting an area for one or both. I don't pay for outfitters being I'm on a fairly tight budget, so any advice on that send me a pm, and it would be appreciated. I usually try to stay in a reasonable driving distance from Des Moines due to the price of gas, older SUV, and limited time off from work. What's everyone's tentative plans for next year?

I plan to strike out here at home b/c there aren't enough longbeards to hunt. I want to renew a MO hunt I have neglected for a few years. I will do my best to make KS and NE. Trying to make choices for another hunt. I'll be happy with any of them.

I will harass the birds around Jefferson county, MS and will do either MO or KS. Might have a chance at a Rio in TX if my buddy can get away in the spring. He has a place loaded with them, but doesn't turkey hunt. Makes me sick looking at all the pic's he gets off deer feeders.

I have high hopes, but just not sure it will work out.  I'll hit WV and maybe, maybe PA.  Hoping to hunt with a new friend who has helped me beyond words.  Trying my hardest, but not sure, it is still early.

Good goal. If I had any land that even was close to a sure thing I'd invite you out.

Thanks Jay. The thought is appriciated. The last couple seasons have shaken the confidence pretty good.

Homestate of Ga, New Mexico and Arizona for sure. The plan is to skip Florida for the first time in 8 years and start in Mississippi. Looking to put together a plan to hit KY, WV and possibly Ohio. And a long weekend trip or 2 most likely to NC.

Still hoping to make that late season run to NY and PA also. . .  maybe that'll finally come together this year!

My plans are to hit the Lotto and find a spot in Hookspurs van or Covehnters vehicle and hunt across the country with them. Only problem is I don't play the Lotto. Dang it man. My plans are still in the air but you can bet I will be killing turkeys somewhere. God willing and the creek don't rise.
