thanks for the help dude, you answered so many questions for me. you also got me so excited i started getting my camo ready and cleaned my shotgun again the other day. the season isn't until may, but i already have turkey feaver. hopefully the turkeys will make it easy on me this year. thanks again

 

our turkey season is next month here in New Mexico....should be fun hunting some Rio Grande's....I think we have 3 different versions/species of the turkey here....

 

We have just Easterns here. I would love to get around to going on a Grand Slam, or just get out and go after one of those Rio's or Merriams, or even an Osceola. I've heard that the Easterns are the toughest to hunt, but I cant back that with any evidence. Good luck everyone and post your results of this spring season.

 

Our turkeys are getting pretty horned up too. Our season starts April 4th, can't freakin wait. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

 

I was out today looking at some acreage[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] in the Sierras. Found 2 spots where turkeys are at[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] One location is at 1500 feet, the other, just over 3300 feet. Locked both places in on my GPS[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] for future hunting[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

low-land turkeys.....what I do in New Mexico is find the snow line and hunt near there, usually about 8000-9000 feet in elevation....

 

Compared to 8,000-9000 feet I guess they are[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] These are right at the snow line[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

OMG- the turkeys are going absolutley nuts! I bet I heard 10 different birds this morning on 200 acres. Youth season starts for my son this coming weekend. I'am going to be going out every morning and evening to listen and pin point a few birds and to set up a few blinds. I know that some seasons around the country have started already. Anyone have any luck yet?

 

I made it up north last weekend and saw a few hens when I was out ridin' hopefully they hook up with some toms soon, my season is may 4 through 8, can't wait!

 

I got my first turkey for the year yesterday he was a gobbling machine. I called him away from a flock of hens & shot him at 25 yards. Wahooooooo 3 more to go and I also have a drawed hunt for 28th 29th & 30th of this month.
