Here is a picture of my morning setup on the first day of my hunt. When the forest woke up there were 6 gobblers sounding off all around me. I have no excuse for not calling one in, but I can attest to this country being good turkey habitat. There are a couple of things I look for that gives me warm fuzzy feelings about an area that is going to be hot. I look for a good mix of pine trees that must include ponderosa. I want more alligator juniper then one seed juniper. There needs to be good cover and also open areas for the gobblers to strut.

Please comment on my posts and let me know what you want to know about turkey hunting. I really like turkey hunting and think about it less then only one other thing. If you can't figure out what that other thing is, then I am not going to tell you;) This blog is no B.S., highly informative, and dedicated to getting you out and turkey hunting with as little time and effort as possible. I have started at the beginning and gone all the way to the end of this hobby without anyone, but my dad to help me. I learned how to turkey hunt from doing it and reading the internet. This sport is fun, tough and full of beautiful women. Just kidding about the women part, I have seen a total of two women in the turkey woods. If you are a woman and are reading this good for you. We need more of you out there. The whole point of my blog is to get all of you men, women and children to get out in the wild, love it and build a conservation ethic. For me putting myself back into the ecosystem is the number one thing that makes me want to care for it. I hope you will want that too if you don't already. Let me know how I can help!!
