Just curious how many days everyone hunts during the Spring Gobbler season.

On average I spend 25 days chasing birds each spring. Mostly hunting in Pennsylvania. I average about 12 birds in range each year (within 30 yards) and my best season I called in 18 birds, never fired a shot though, kept waiting for a bigger one.

I start scouting early April and am out almost every day. Last year located 130 different Toms before the season.
i hunt till the tags are filled here in pa. and n.y. plus my nephews bird.?how do you keep passing up your birds to get a bigger one.are you after bigger spurs or beards??? :fire:

During turkey season I only have two outfits, scrubs and hunting clothes. In short, about 30-35 days.

 Around 20 days, plus a couple afternoons during the week. I have several farms close by to hunt so I'm able to get out and hunt quite often.

It varies widely year-to-year, but this year I've blocked off 22 days to hunt 4 states.  We'll see if that actually pans out...

About 8 or 9 days in NC only.  Going to add a couple of days in FL next year.
"I admire a good turkey hunter chiefly because such a man displays qualities that we usually associate with pioneer America-patience, enthusiasm, woodcraft, game sense, and a quiet hardihood undaunted by rain, by cold, by long tough miles, by disappointment."

17-20 for me. I'm in hopes to hunt VT, so if I'm lucky, I can get a few more days.

I'll hunt about 22 with another 15+ days of guiding.

If it eats I can catch it, if it bleeds I can kill it.

I normally hunt every Saturday and Sunday during the month long season.  I will usually get out at least 3 times during the weekday depending on what I have going on at work.  I guess a total of around 20 days.  I'm real excited in PA this year as we can hunt until dark the second half of the season.
