2021 Turkey season

February 27, 2021 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…

Glad to finally see some turkey poults running around. Not as many as I would like to see but better then last year. I have two hens showing up regularly one has two poults and the other has three. I continue to believe the biggest problem with the turkey population is the predators which I try my…

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.

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!

Made a turkey hunt last week to Caldwell county Texas which is near San Antonio. I normally make this trip for the opener, which is April 1st, but work had me bowed up and had to push this trip back to this past weekend. Turkeys were not very active and never heard a gobbler on the roost. Riding…

Turkey season so far has been fun, I have worked several gobblers and called in several hens over the first week of the season. On Sunday 4/11 I was able to close the deal on a nice gobbler. At daybreak I waited for the birds to wake up and start singing. I did not hear a gobbler, so I eased down…

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.

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.

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…
