Michigan turkeys! Stories and harvest pics!
« on: April 21, 2013, 10:19:00 AM »
Woo hoo! Less than 24 hours till michigan turkey season starts I know we have lots of Michiganders on here so who is all headed out? Dad and I will be making our annual trip up to the thumb, this is our first year going with the opening hunt, I am a little Leary about t but we know where birds usually are so shouldn't be too much different. Good luck guys and God Bless!

Hunt 234, I'll be after them in two more weeks! Good luck to everyone. I wonder when the day is coming when we'll see a two bird limit in some areas?

My understanding is that the fall turkey season in at least part of Michigan encourages or even mandates the taking of hens and chicks...that sounds very appealing to me...just as any deer is a trophy with a stickbow I would have to think that so is any turkey...one day I will get down that way to test my theory

Good luck to everyone. Will be doing the 2nd hunt. Will be leaving the upcoming weekend and hike into a designated wilderness area. I'll be camping and scouting this area two days prior to my opening day. A new area to me, so I hope to find some birds as I believe they are there.  If not, not a problem because it will be great to be out.

Thanks stixbowdrew.  This will be my 1st traditional hunt for a turkey.  Definitely out of my comfort zone, but I've heard that that is when life begins   :)    :campfire:

X2.  I have not been able to hunt the last two years so looking forward to it and I am taking the kids out this year so wanted a little more time to hunt.

We will be in the thumb after the MLA Spring Shoot. The "Editor" has a goal set for a longbeard w/ her longbow. This may be a lesson in frustration! Especially the way we shot today at Tomahawk. AHHHHHH!!
