2023 Spring Turkey Pictures
 

I didn’t see where we had this for 2023 and I always enjoy seeing everyone’s turkey hunting pictures so starting this thread. A few of my own from Mississippi and Texas (with my Merkel 20).

Pictures:

wow....what part of Mississippi were you hunting....how long are those 20 ga barrels....charlie

My 2023 Vermont turkey season begins May 1st but I won’t make the opener as I have done each year since 2002. I’ll get out there probably 2 weeks into the season.

This is my first turkey ever… opening morning of the ‘02 season.
Read about it in “A Parker-Perfect Morning” on page 26 of Parker Pages, Vol 11, Issue 3 (Autumn 2004).

Hey Charlie - I hunt in southwest Mississippi north of Baton Rouge. Those barrels are 26 3/4" long.

Season open's 4/17.... Hoping to have a little luck with the little Parker again this year!

We have had one very promising hunt that did not turn out and a few more that were just plain frustrating for various reasons.

Sounds like typical turkey hunting :)…at least it sounds like mine.

Harry invited some friends who did not understand the importance of being still. We got rained out this Saturday although I went back by myself later in the day and at least had a quiet time in the woods. We have some friends coming this weekend who know the drill and no rain in the forecast.

That happened to me the first time I brought my grandson Cam. We were sitting in the dark probably 50-60 yards from the trees the turkeys were roosted in but Cam fidgeted so much that when the turkeys flew down at daybreak.... They flew the other way!! :rotf:
