Total Turkey Kills and States

[dirt road ninja]

LOL, I'm not worthy of posting on this thread.  I've been hunting turkeys since 2008, spring only,  and let's just say I can still count them on one hand, although I've been happy with my success rate the last three seasons. 

All Easterns.  All PA.

Don't worry about number of kills, the hunts I remember most are ones that ended well for the birds and bad for me. I have way more of those memories anyway.

Sometimes those are the ones that make you smile the most, especially if you kill that son of a gun later.

You both speak the truth.  I didn't become hooked on turkey hunting by shooting turkeys, that's for sure!  Although, I'll say revenge on a wise old gobbler is the sweetest kind.

Some of my best turkey hunting memories have been when I did not carry a bird out of the woods. 

I would venture to say that I easily have 3-4 times as many hunts that ended without a shot than those I've killed.

Let's see..since 1968..oh my..I have no idea how many birds. I didn't keep count of so many in the early years..I have harvested birds from many states..lacking the Pacific NW and far NE..nor Hawaii.

Living on a ranch in NW Oklahoma, we were given the green light to harvest as many as we wanted from the ranchers and farmers...they hated them because the large groups  would literally keep the cattle from feeding on round bails. In those formidable years, I wacked and stacked them..I now know better and practice good harvest management . Those early years sure were fun though. Was lucky to see 2, maybe 3 hunters all season long.

Called two gobblers in my very first turkey hunting trip in the spring of 2013. Thought turkey hunting was the easiest hunting you could do at the time.  Boy was I wrong.   Killed 1 more the rest of the season and 2 more this past spring.  All in SC.

To old to remember..... lol...... since 1983 and lots of states. I did get a Rio and Goulds on the border of Texas one year. Never got a Florida to complete what ever slam that would be. Passed up a hunt with Lovett William's in the Yucatan that I regret. Always thought 5 birds in the Low Country of SC was good enough slam for me....lol.
