General Forum / Re: ENSO-Nada-- The Turkey D...Last post by CALLM2U - Today at 03:09:50 PMI haven't read through the data yet, (my work is blocking the link) but does it state which years were the "dead zone"? That would be pretty easy for people to reflect on and see if it correlates to their personal experience.

General Forum / Re: ENSO-Nada-- The Turkey D...Last post by shaman - Today at 02:50:10 PMWell, first off, the link at the bottom of the message was jacked-up. I fixed that
Here it is again: ENSO-Nada -- The Turkey Dead Zone Read that link. It should explain everything. Bottom line: from our turkey camp in SW Bracken County, KY, we've filled exactly 1 tag in 25 years of hunting our property during ENSO-Neutral conditions. What's ENSO-Neutral? Well, it's halfway between El-Nino and La Nina. I just realized the fact this morning. I had the latest long-range weather forecast and our turkey camp's log up on separate screens. At this point, I haven't figured out what causes this. It's going to take a lot more digging in the logs. However, I do know that one of the years was a complete washout due to governor of KY banning out of state turkey hunting during COVID. Another 2 years we didn't fill tags, but we found the neighbors were poaching our property mercilessly. After they were evicted, the turkeys came back. Still there's a good reason to believe ENSO-Neutral conditions have caused us to have bum years. In fact, we've done a pretty good job of filling tags in any year that wasn't ENSO-Neutral. #5

Pot Calls Forum / Re: Looking for a waterproof p...Last post by ScottTaulbee - Today at 02:15:55 PMQuote from: BDeal on Today at 10:48:59 AMMy favorite that he makes is the next generation. It's the only pot you'll ever need to carry.Quote from: ScottTaulbee on January 29, 2026, 06:46:40 PMX5 on the enticer. Best sounding pots out there in my opinion, reasonably priced and will play under the water I have the wet one slate, the original wet one, the next generation, a regular slate from him in a wooden pot, and another that the name is eluding me, and the next generation hasn't left my vest in the 7 or 8 years I've owned it and it won't.

Very reasonable to expect to draw every other year now if you are willing to apply for hunts with larger quotas, less applicants, avoid opening week and weekends. #9

I've never been drawn (except the first year when everyone was selected). It pissing me off43% draw odds this year Completely dependent on your application. If you only applied for highly sought after hunts, odds could easily be single digits. On the contrary, some hunts were about 100% odds. That being said, it was another record year of applications for WMA draws. To increase your odds, be willing to accept later hunts. A high percentage of people only apply for the first couple hunt dates (ie. Hunt 1 and Hunt 2). I recommend putting harder to draw hunts as choices 1-2. Then listing a couple easier to draw hunts as 3-5. If your number is pulled, the system evaluates your choices in order 1-5. So it will look at choice 1 and if a spot is available, you get it. If no spot, it looks at Choice 2. And so forth. Application numbers from last year are posted on the MDWFP Draw Hunts webpage (link: https://www.mdwfp.com/wildlife-hunting/wma-draw-hunts ) . This will give you a good idea of the odds of drawing a hunt. |
