Default 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).

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.

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!!
