2007 Spring Turkeys?

[bmc]

I'm thinking of applying for a non-resident spring turkey tag. My brother lives in Hudson and knows a guy east of him about 40 minutes that has some property I may be able to hunt on. If I get drawn, I'm planning on bowhunting. I've only turkey hunted one other time and that was in Iowa and I had a blast. When do the gobblers really get fired up?

Thanks,

Brian

bmc,

The turkey's really start talking the first weekend of season. We hunt about 25 miles south of Rice Lake, and are batting 1000 so far. Two years running, and hope to have many more.

If you got private land to hunt I always go for the 4th or 5th season here in WI. Just about then depending on weather the peak breeding is just winding down and the 'henned up' problem starts to fade. I never apply earlier for my first choice then the 3rd season unless its a heavily hunted public area then I take my chances and go for the earliest seasons. In a nut shell, I like the season that starts the earliest day in May An I gots lots o beards and spurs to go with the talk
