Who's Hunting Turkey this Spring?

I will definitely be out for wild turkey this Spring. I just checked 3 of the 5 properties I have permission to hunt on, & I found excellent turkey sign. I think this will be an banner turkey year. Has anyone bought an Ontario turkey tag yet?

Actually they (were) my photos :p.Unfortunatly the other half had some technical difficulties with with the sd card and like magic wiped it out.:bangHead: There should be more soon I hope I just put it out over the turkey and moose attractant before I came to the coast be back thursday:wave:
 
cant wait!! april 15th,as long as the snow melts enough.3rd season for me,1 with the 12 gauge and 2 with my 17hmr.this year its my kids turn so i hope we get lucky again.good luck everyboby!!!
 
I'm going to take a pass this season. For some reason, I don't have that turkey hunting 'itch.' Maybe it's because last season I got two tags, and was overdosed with turkey. Turkey meat just doesn't hold that high an appeal to me. I'll eat it, but I don't have the same desire for it as I do for venison, duck, moose, etc.
Saying this, I'll probably wake up opening day and cry as I don't have a tag.
 
No tag required in B.C. as it is considered an upland bird. Any one in the Okanagan want to have a CGN turkey hunt?
P.S. As a side note, TOM is quite tasty indeed!
 
Wow, rifle on a turkey would mean many more accidents in Ontario. As it is, it's very scary being out there. Private land doesn't even protect you as there are many morons trespassing. I still go out and usually get my birds, each year though more and more hunters out there and it only takes a few Ontario morons to ruin it for everyone. Kind of reminds me why I stopped fishing the Lake O tribs.
 
Gobble Gobble, Bang Bang. Can't wait to try out my new 870 Supermag with a turkey choke!

Anyone know what the best 12g ammo is for Turkeys?

The one that patterns the best from YOUR gun. Try a bunch of different ones, even better if you can split a few different brands with your buddies and see which one(s) pattern best at the ranges you plan to hunt.
 
Wow, for some reason I always thought it was illegal to hunt turkey with a rimfire but I just went through the regs and found nothing. I might even pack a 22 now.

There was 9 turkeys in my moms driveway yesterday when I took the kids down to visit her, it's looking good so far. All hens but a jake or Tom will show up to try for some lovin I'm sure.

Good answer. Also, buy some paper targets with a turkey. Shoot it at 25-30 yards.
I use 3" Rem #4, but also have a box of "duplex" (mix of #4 and #6 pellets), and a standard rem turkey choke. The #4 worked well last year,one shot,one kill.

Good call. I will definitely try different chokes with various ammo and see which patterns best at 30-40 yeard shots.

Where would one obtain the turkey targets? I have yet to see those in any of the stores I've been to. Any online sources?
