Cant wait for spring turkey! We go to Nebraska.
thanks for reminding me...don't know where I put the book at! guess I need to get online and put in.
That's where I go, Where abouts do you guys go? I like the archery season cause you get the early jump on the shotgunners. I got one under my belt with a bow (24 lbs W/9" beard) and I share a kill with a buddy using a recurve (26 lbs W/ double beard 9" & 11") Shot at a couple with the 12 gauge but couldn't ever claim one as my own but, the same hunting buddy killed the one I wounded. Two halfs make a whole dosen't it? lol! [LOL] I used to stay in a camper by the lake in years past but, sence then I bought my Cousins house in town and I've never been happier. The conforts of home and only a cup of coffee away from the hunting area! Benkelman to TrentonQuote:

Knowing my luck and skill (or lack there of) I'll get (0) but what the hell being in the woods chasing birds is where its at in the spring!

of course I am sure I got at least 1 more p dog than you, but whos countin[ROFL2][ROFL3]
last spring went down by rockvale in unit 84, scouted the week before, saw all kinds of birds. opening day about 35 hunters and no birds to be found, didnt even hear any shots. lots of birds but too many hunters, id stay clear.
I do not know where to go yet, but I will say, I have the baddest ass shot gun now for hunting turkey!!!!!!!!!!![Beer]
Thanks trlcavscout for the sale
Time really flies..Come On Gobblers.
Now, time will creep.
I just started turkey hunting last year. In the fall I went down to the Canyon city area. Saw lots of hens. I'll be giving U-84 another try. I saw flocks of goblers on my way deer hunting in Gilpin County.
well I screwed up for turkey...I though the close date was the 15th. I logged in, and found out it was the 12th. so....guess I am going in the fall now.[Bang]

Sniper....just get the over the counter type. I like ronaldrwl use to go down to south of Canyon City area and see em' every time. I know a great spot and good camping area too. I had some two years ago hit on the roost in my camp site while I was making coffee. Needless to say I didn't get to drink coffee that morning!
Making the trek to Nebraska again this year. We will be hunting them outside of South Sioux City Nebraska on the Missouri River. I have 3 permits this year. They have so many birds up there I should be able to fill all three tags.
Are you going? We could join up. I went there last year and did see lots of hens. Also, the crazy castle guy is down there. Also like to see what progress he is making.Quote:

My buddy shot a turkey Saturday. Went out just that one day worked on getting closer to one tom responding to his call and six toms walked in front of him. His first Colorado turkey after accumulating seven preference points for the drawing. I am happy for him.

Wow, 7 pts. What unit requires that?
He told me it was the Bosque Del Oso State Wildlife area. Hope I spelled that correctly. It is west of Trinidad. It supposedly has the second largest Elk herd in the state. The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation helped the state buy the area somtime around 1998.
Evidently it is a great turkey area also.
Yes,, I was lucky enough to draw there the first year.. Never saw a Cow elk, which I drew for.. Saw plenty of bulls and Turkeys..Quote:

Headed south- no luck[Rant1]
No luck here. Tried down by Ft Garland.
went behind Jim Bishops Castle by Fairview.
I was going to try that spot a few weeks ago but it was to wet/snowing that weekend. Last year that area had turkeys in abundance. I'm thinking of trying more south west.Quote:
