Wild Turkey: The Hunt Continues

Wild turkey hunting is a long held American tradition.  These game birds live throughout North America , all the way from Canada to Texas and everywhere in between.  You can find them in forested regions , fields, and scrub land.  The first settlers in North America found large flocks of wild turkey everywhere they went.  Indiscriminate hunting soon took its toll on these amazing fowl , and like so many other forms of wild life , the wild turkey were almost hunted to nonexistence .  However, turkeys have made such a comeback that now there are two regulated hunting seasons in nearly every state in the United States .

Turkey hunting starts in the early spring and the late fall and it is almost always confined to male turkeys .  Every state has different hunting seasons, and often specific regulations vary from region to region .  Therefore , if you are thinking about going wild turkey hunting, you should check with your local law official to see not only the times of your seasons, but also your restrictions and harvest limitations .  Some places will only allow you shoot one turkey per season, while other places may allow two or three.  If you try to go hunting without a license or break any hunting laws you can be heavily fined or even placed in jail .

Once you obtain your license, you’ll need a few pieces of specific gear to successfully hunt the wild turkey .  First of all, you need to be appropriately dressed for the weather.  You also need to be properly camouflaged, as turkeys have very exact eyesight and can even see colors .  You will then need to get a good appropriate and legal bow or shotgun as well as the proper ammunition.  Arguably , the most important thing that you need to hunt the wild turkey is a collection of turkey calls.  You need to make the turkeys come to you , and there is no better way to do that than with turkey calls. 

Finally , after your hunt is done , you need to preserve your bird , either a taxidermist or through field dressing.  Just make sure that you register your kill with the local law officials so they can keep an reliable count of all the animals in the field.
