Louisiana Turkey hunt

[RussM311]

I was fortunate to have a protected military reserve to begin my turkey hunting adventures.... about 20K acres and only 15 to 20 hunters.  Last season and this one, the season has been closed while a biological study has been conducted on the flock... one of the drawbacks to having a "pitre-dish" hunting area.  Forced to move out to more public areas last season, I was concerned about possible hunter interference with my backward attempts to harvest a bird. While hunting Bodcau WMA, I was surprised at how respectful the other hunters were, and I truly enjoyed the season. Worked a lot of birds...let a few walk... had a few get the best of me...all in all, a great experience. Made a couple of out of state trips, and found pretty much the same attitudes. Most people are respectful, but a few will always be horses derrieres.
