Turkey Season Eve

where?

I'll be going. I'll mostly be wandering around aimlessly, trying to find the slightest hint of sign, let alone a gobble, but I'll be going.

PSA: I was told by a friend who's good friends with a game warden that they are prepared to write a lot of tickets to the folks who are hunting the WMA's that are closed down until April 1st. Apparently folks aren't reading the regulations and seasons/bag limits and are just assuming that their WMA opens on the statewide opener. I've seen a lot of trucks parked on the side of HWY 25 in the mornings, scouting I assume, who may fail to read the regs when checking in tomorrow morning. I could see where, in their haste to get to their spot, that they fail to check the dates.

Just wanted to mention that if anybody is striking out to Malmaison, Choctaw, Marion County, Mason Creek, or Little Biloxi WMAs, then don't- or not until April 1st.

FYI.

lousiana should open on a weekday

and no afternoon hunting on wmas

our birds get hammered

Is it just me or are turkey hunters the most hardcore folks of the hunting world?

You even Tenth Legion bro?

Depending on where you hunt, most people get between 30-45 days to hunt turkeys compared to 60+ day seasons for ducks and deer.

This also isnt a game of sitting in a box stand or duck blind and hoping something comes by, you gotta know what youre doing to hunt turkeys.

The same could be said of turkey hunting: Once you are a turkey hunter, you never really aren't.

idk.. i have went a couple times. Hadnt been in YEARS, going this weekend though. If i get one ill prob be done for the year. Just doesnt do it like deer hunting for me

I didn't say it never happens, but the number of casual deer, duck, dove, squirrel, etc. hunters far surpasses casual turkey hunters. If for no other reason then because of the one the fellow above said: It takes years to become a proficient turkey killer, and even then a proficient turkey killer can-and often does- get goose egg shat on him.

Going off of a large sample size, day in and day out, the average run-of-the-mill casual turkey hunter cannot possibly hold a candle to the skillset of dedicated member of the tenth legion who craves going to war with a tom gobbler.

In many ways the same can be said of a buck hunter, especially archery guys, who come home with "the big one" far more often than most. It takes time and dedication to kill a wild animal who is the monarch of his species. He's not sought after because he's easy to bag.
