2021 Turkey season

February 27 at 9:10am

Only 5 weeks away and getting ready for what I hope to be a very good turkey season. The winter storm last week destroyed a lot of my woods. The ice storm dropped trees down all over the place and we are spending time just clearing roads and making sure everything is ok. I hope the wildlife came…

Bayoubow, Clear Creek WMA has a good turkey population and I have had a lot of fun on that place. It does get hunted hard but you can find gobblers all over that area. We have camped out and enjoyed our hunting there in past years. Walk the logging roads looking for sign and listening. Good luck!

Has anyone had any luck with the Clear Creek WMA Turkey Draw? I got drawn this year, and have never been down there and was seeing if anyone out there had any tips on locations of birds in the past or anything about the layout of the land. Anything is appreciated. Thanks guys.

Great story Chris, I enjoyed a quick afternoon turkey hunt Thursday also. I was in Sonora out scouting for the afternoon and made a few calls and had this big 3 year old run in. The weather change stopped our turkey opportunities Saturday also. We did get a few hogs to add to our trip.

The youth turkey season is always a great chance to get an early jump on one of my favorite pass times and a cherished opportunity for some father/son bonding time. Sam has been hunting with me chasing the elusive gobbler for several years now. We have had many close encounters, but something has…

Had a great hunt in Texas last week with my longtime friend Eric. We got on the birds quick and the action was fast and furious. We were able to get 8 birds over the course of our hunt with 5 of those on the first afternoon. Most of the longbeards were coming in 2-4 at a time which allowed us to…

That sounds like an amazing hunt. Were you guys hunting on private land? Or was this an outfitter you were hunting with? I got to make a Texas hunt years ago and was amazed at the number of birds. I have been itching to get back to Texas to hunt them again.

Poor Turkey season in the NW La parishes again!?
Very earlier spring and mild winter proved to be disaster for our Turkey season. The very very late opening of season is also a major factor in the poor results that we experienced again this year. Also a very noticeable increase in the coyote…

Great first kill experience! I was alone on a friends property and decided to make a mid day hunt. I had spooked a bird after a long wait from a morning gobble on the opener. He walked right up on a buddy and me without a peep. So Saturday at noon I went back to same spot, found a better vantage…
