Title: HOW MANY SOUTHREN HUNTERS HERE WILL FINISH THEIRS HUNTS UP NORTH IN MAY?
Post by: quavers59 on March 07, 2018, 06:14:08 AM
Every year, I read of Turkey hunts in the deep South to kick off the Spring Season-- but really not too much of Turkey hunters finishing their season up North. Who here will bag some gobblers up North this Spring to finish up?

Maine season starts April 30th and runs to June 2nd, 5 weeks. You can shoot 2 birds and there is lots of huntable ground up here. Just info for the addicts, LOL

North Dakota in May for me this year as a bookend to my season.  Prefer to travel in May out of necessity, as Alabama is done end of April.

I want to do a Maine hunt before I die.  Of course there are alot of things I want to do before I die, but turkey hunting in the month of June is one of them!

I don't travel to a lot of northern states.  Many don't recognize my concealed carry permit.  I guess I don't have the right to defend my life if necessary.

New Hampshire's state motto is " Live Free or Die" and both NH and Maine have concealed carry. Please don't let this keep you from visiting New England.  :smiley-patriotic-flagwaver-an Al Baker

There are some states that would be desirable, but you have to travel through the evil states to get there.

To quote Woodrow F. Call from Lonesome Dove, "up north is not a place, it is a direction". Being I'm from southeast Georgia, does north Georgia count??

I am not a "southern" hunter...I don't think. Is a New Mexico guy a southern hunter or western hunter? Maybe Gobblenut would know. I'm in Colorado so I guess I am a western hunter??

I will finish up north though. In Northern Wis about the 29th of May or so.
