Title: If you could hunt only one weekend of the season?
Post by: FttFttVroom! on February 21, 2011, 09:46:40 PM
What one would you choose?  Opener so you are hunting unpressured birds or later in the season when the toms aren't henned up as bad?

First of all, that would SUCK!

But if I had to choose, Id pick the second weekend of April in west Alabama.

The first couple of weeks are usually pretty good but if I had to choose it would be the first week of may.  Killed most of the longer spurred turkeys during that time.

Opener for me. I called in 8 birds for one of the kids last year in two days of hunting before he killed one.

Opener.  We usually have great luck early in the season.

Opener........for two reasons

1. Unpressured birds

2. In the south, season comes in so early, lots of times birds are still in winter flocks and just starting to break up and socialize. The gobblers are interetsed, but havent gathered a harem yet. The boys are still running together and you have a shot at multiple gobblers coming to the gun.
