How many people a year do you take turkey hunting? My list is long and leaves very few days of solo hunting. Between family, friends and the little bit of guiding that I do for a local outfitter, this year i will be taking a total of 12. My wife, dad, brother, two brother in laws, cousin, did a youth hunt, family friend and 4 clients. Some of these will go multiple times so I'm guessing ill get to hunt for myself about 4-6 times this year. Thankfully I knocked one down opening morning so all I need is one more. Might be a talk order to fill with all the other hunts I have going on.

I hunt with 8 diff people. I still get to spend several days by myself especially out of state. A buddy will be going to Ohio with me but we will split up
Usually 4 throughout season but only 2 on regular basis I get several solo days especially when I go out of state. Not lot diehard turkey hunters around here plus lack of close land to hunt keeps some of people I know from going more
7 or 8 for me but could be higher just depends. I enjoy taking others turkey hunting especailly the ones thats never turkey hunted before. I've also called in several birds to watch a new hunter take his first long beards....I look forward to taking my little boy this year on his first turkey hunt!
God Bless
99 % of the time it is just me.I prefer to hunt alone.Occasionally I will hunt with one other person.
The old man who started me said you don't have any friends if you are a turkey hunter. I have tried my best to follow his advice. The question that begs an answer is, "where are you gonna put them all"?

^^^This unless its a kid. I will take any kid that's interested...
Since the youth season starts earlier than the regular season, I like taking a youth hunter. Then I'll concentrate on taking care of myself since I hunt solo most of the time anyway. After I take a bird or if I'm lucky enough to tag out, (2) birds, Ill take whoever wants to go. Usually between 2-4 people throughout the season.
I usually hunt with 5 of my hunting buddies. I usually prefer hunting alone but sometimes it helps out having an extra caller with you.
I guide so I average about 20 hunters per MD season (I could book more but elect not to). The rest of the season is for me, kids or friends that I like to take. If I have a date open and get a call from a desperate hunter I'll sometimes book them.
Normally 4-5 a year. I enjoy it if the guest is really into it. Often it is landowners and their family members, really can not say no!! After that it is normally nephews, a uncle who taught me, but does not hear well anymore and a couple buddies who are diehards as well.
7 or 8 unfortunate souls with sore legs in the end.
just depends just a quick count is right now at least 7 but it just depends but I still get to hunt a lot. 3 of those are my little cousins and we get to go this coming weekend for the juvi hunt here in Tennessee.
5-6 becuase they think I know what I'm doing.

Ditto for me as well.......
any where from 2-10
Other then the 4 to 5 times taking a youth out :icon_thumright:, generally by myself.

Same here. In south Florida it's hard to trust anyone with public hunting spots. I got one buddy and his dad I sometimes go with.
Man ya'll have more hunting property and time than me! :o
I take a good friend every year but this year I'll be adding two very special guests to my turkey hunting, my grandsons. :happy0064:
I got a 20 gauge ready for them and I think I'm more excited about it than they are. :laugh:
i never take anyone dont want to reveal my spots but i will take a youth if they want to go. well i take one person every now and then thats only because he is a good friend and knows how to keep his mouth shut about my locations. if someone asked me were i got my bird i will just say the county thats all.
I like taking people hunting. Problem is I only have one buddy who's as hardcore as me and reliable. Everyone else always backs out or finds some reason they can't go. Its gotten to the point where I don't even offer anymore. My boy is 4 now so it'll still be a few years until he joins me but I may try and drag my old man out a time or 2 this year.
I hunt with all my buddies filming, make a few out of state trips to hunt with other buddies, take a youth or two then take my wife too. I would say that through the entire season I will hunt with anywhere from 4-12 people.
This year I am going to VA to kick things off, will be hunting with 2 buddies there. Then back to WV to take a youth and hunt with his uncle while filming so thats another 2, Got a guy coming in in May to hunt with me, 1, Taking my wife opening weekend, 1, And have trips planned already with about 5 other guys that I will be taking. So total that and it will be at least 11 this spring if not more.
Definitely will be hopping around to some different farms and some public land to make it happen this year and bag some birds Lord willing. Very excited to kick things off. There is just nothing like having someone there with you in the Turkey woods to share that experience with!! I was blessed to be able to call in my buddies first bird last year and capture it all on film, and I wouldnt have traded that hunt for anything, it was just awesome and thats what its all about!

hmm u remind me of a guy on wvsportsman lol good luck this year
3 different people
2-3 a year
The last few years 4 to 6. Once I'm done with my tags, I'll take other people out so I can prelong my fix on this thing called turkey hunting! ;D
Will take out my son, grandson, and a few close freinds and try to help them fill out their tags.
4-6 through out the season.
2 or 3 but will probably do more solo hunting this year than I ever have
3 on my list this year. BOth of my kids & another teenager. Should be fun.
About 4-5 folks.
Last season I hunted alone 1 morning, I hunted with a buddy but as the primary gunner 3 days and kill all 3 mornings by 7am. Rest of the season I was taking other people. Called up 5 more for others.
When it comes to turkey I vastly prefer doing with a good friend than alone, really adds to the enjoyment for me.
Mostly, I hunt alone.
Think about it .... who in their right mind would go out into the darkness of the woods, with a crazy old guy with a loaded shotgun :z-flirtysmile3:!
