First Time Turkey Huntin

I’m heading out this weekend to go Turkey hunting for the first time and if that’s not excitement enough, I have the added pressure of going with my girlfriends Brother-in-Law and Step-dad! This is my cry for help, I know there’s plenty of you guys out there with some great gobbler knowledge. I’m obviously confident with the basics of hunting, but I’m looking for some of that insight that you can only glean from getting experience. I’d love to hear from all of you, lets hear your best Turkey hunting advice for a beginner! Thanks in advance!

PS. If I get no advice from ya’ll and I totally flop this weekend in front of the watchful eyes of the family, I’ll make sure to tell you all about that too! haha.

Just as I begin to wonder if the snow will ever melt, I check this out and can’t wait to get out in the cold again and chase some swamp bucks! The “Spectacular” had much of what you would expect from this type of show. There was the obligatory wall of trophy buck mounts, rows of outfitters and guides parading their services and lots of neat new hunting tech booths as well. There seemed to be a good variety of seminars offered over the course of the weekend but I unfortunately I wasn’t able to make any of them. 

As I strolled the aisles I came upon a booth for one of my favorite hunting shows online. The Slunger Hollow Productions booth really got me excited, as I am a huge fan of “Buckeye Cam Presents Fair Chase Encounters”. Two years ago I watched an episode of this show every morning before going to class in the fall and I really believe it helped me bag my buck that year. What I like about this series is that they really highlight important steps and tips throughout the episode, rather than just showing quick kills of huge deer. It just seems very real and very insightful. I also really liked the fact that they use primarily archery equipment in the Midwest, which is very similar to what I do. If you want to check out Fair Chase Encounters you can check out their website or search for them on MyOutdoorTV.com.
