Anyone hunt mountain turkeys?

[West Augusta]

North central West Virginia here.  I hunt "hill" birds.  It get's you in shape hunting them but at least it is hard for them to circle around you. 
If you get lucky, you find one that roosts over the creek and you don't have to climb up after them but I usually do.  Good luck.

Not in VA, but 95% is done in the SC mountains. Some of those pictures look very similar to my hunting spots. It can be very challenging at times, but when it all comes together it is very rewarding.

I hunt the mountains here in PA and also have been huntin the mountains in the Daniel Boone NF in Kentucky the last few years it's the only way I know

I hunt the Mts of WV,,,,4th generation to chase turkey,,,

With that being said,,,it is always better to be up hill from them,,,but have killed several I have called down hill..

I have found that they tend to roast in the same areas,,,rather in the mts or flat land..So with that in mind try to be where you need to be when they start gobblin,

Call them up close and shoot them in the face@ longbeads

I hunt a few different areas of PA and let me tell you, tough terrain and very tough birds but wouldn't have it any other way.  Nothin like droppin the hammer on a mature PA mountain Longbeard.

I live in the southwest part of Virginia (Dickenson county) and for anyone who's been here you would know its all straight up and straight down! The turkey are thick but hard to hunt. I love it tho, It makes it harder to hunt cause you can't just circle around to any spot you want when you know where some birds are at. Your choices are very limited! That's what makes it more fun and challenging!
Just wondered if I shared the mountain birds with anyone in this great country?

Stay calm, Go turkey hunting!

Born and Raised in Dickenson County VA!!  Have killed a bunch of turkeys in those mountains!   I'vw been transferred out of state to WV with my job right now but still very close.  Will be in for 2 weeks straight for the VA season this year....just got back from there today.  Went scouting this morning...checked my camera and heard some hen talk and Gobbling this morning.

Actually I know you and your wife....and you and your wife know me and my wife!  Small world!  Check your PM!!

Been turkey hunting the Mts. 44 years, in WV and VA,  I live in  Mercer Co WV, and hunt McDowell, Pocahontas, Mingo, Wyoming, Raleigh, Monroe, and Summers WV.  Hunted and still hunt VA, Bath, Highland, Bland, Tazewell, and Giles Co.

My favored Co, in VA to hunt is Bath Co, with Bland a close 2nd. but good hunting in the other counties also. Not saying Bath and Bland are the best, just my favored. In WV Pocahontas is not the best by far but is one of my favored places to hunt. In WV Mingo and McDowell Co. might have the most turkey?
GRUE UP HERE AND LOVE IT.
