Title: Where and when is everyone going Turkey Hunting
Post by: Jay on February 07, 2011, 07:39:55 AM
For me, I start in Kansas with Shane (Simpzenith) April 16-17-18. Then start my vacation April 24th-May 2 in Iowa hunting Season 3 and 4. I have 2 tags in Kansas and 2 in Iowa. After that I can hunt Nebraska thru May on 2 day hunts. Could get a total of 3 tags there if needed.
Change to my schedule is Florida on April 1-2-3 with 2 tags.

Just Nebraska for me starts March 25 for bow. Then mid April for shotgun. Thought about going to Kansas but got a hog hunt for Oklahoma at the end of May.

Hello, my name is Jay and I will be hunting 5 feet outside of the nursing home. That's usually when I'm tired of walking so I find a nice bench and set up for the day.

Just found out that I was successful in the SD Prairie lottery. Two birds with a shotgun instead of one bird with the bow that I've been trying, unsuccessfully, to do the past two years.  :z-guntootsmiley:

I will be hunting MS solely but that should be enough to hopefully lay down some big easterns.  Got a score to settle w/ a big one on our land from last year if he is still there.

Just got Zone 1 Apr 27-May 1 Wisc. Yippee
Friday I will get Zone 5 5th season
Saturday I will get Zone 5 6th season
Sunday I will get Zone 1 4th season
Monday I will get Zone 1 5th season
Tuesday will get Zone 1 6th.

With my Fort McCoy tag I could possibly harvest 7 birds! MI I get 1 and then my trip to TN could result in 4!

Do like my chances....

Oh and I don't shoot jakes ~ do with a camera! :)
