Fair Chase Wild Turkey Hunts do it yourself

For All

Inexperienced turkey hunters or those with limited hunting time on turkeys will find our approach to wild turkey hunting a learn by trail and error and soon enough turkey hunting by trail and success.

Most days will be in the presence of birds and each hunt a lesson that when learned greatly increase the chances for future success. Having the attitude that every wild turkey hunt is setting up for years of hunting to come is the best attitude for do it yourself hunter and all of the hunts we offer. In our case each hunter can have return hunts to his favored farms and branch out to other wild turkey hunting leases each season.

More members report higher degrees of success by scouting immediately before the hunt even on roosts and flocks located during fall deer season. Returning to the same collection of farms between fall and spring seasons these same hunters report on changing movement patterns.

One Cost

Our approach to managed wild turkey hunts brings far more tags, seasons and states for one low cost than any other turkey hunting organization. As we are not limited to the driving distance from a single lodge we make the entire state available to us thereby leasing land within the regions that return the most.

With spring turkey hunts over a season running 6 weeks long, half and all day turkey hunting and in Kansas being able to tag two toms in one day means that many experienced hunters are done filling their tags on one trip and they do so wild turkey hunting on their own.

We will provide the private lease land in regions of good wild flock production habitat, recommendations on which property to turkey hunt and our lodging listing for every county we lease land. After that all the hunter needs is just to travel out our way and he will have some memory making turkey hunts from the first available moment and not quit until he runs out of time.

One of our turkey hunters who scouts each year emailed us this picture of what he considered the most interesting aspect of his spring hunts. This picture is of his natural blind he cut into living cedars and adds some fresh cut cedar to each spring. This season in preparation for his son to hunt.

His comments included: "...I have hunted this farm since 1998 and this one blind since 1999 having moved to it a hundred yards from where I setup in '98. Over the years of hunts I have averaged at least one tom from it all except one year when I should have but took a long shot on a quickie hunt....you can see some of the old cedar braches in the picture from last year. I simply add a few more trimmed from nearby trees. It is a "deluxe" blind as it is large enough for two. This year I am not carrying a gun and will call for my boy. This is a great farm...I hope we never lose it..."

On that last point about "never lose it" all leases will change eventually. Land is always changing due to sales, owner's death, agricultural uses and we never stand still either. We always run a cut list of leases to drop and are always looking for better habitat to lease before dropping any land. That is why we have good wild turkey hunts on the farm described above. We did not always have that turkey lease and we may not have it for the next season. If we do not, then it is due to our having a better one elsewhere and better wild turkey hunting along with it.
