Spring Turkey 2025

[brock ratcliff]

Mason took his girlfriend this morning for her first turkey hunt. Miserable day to introduce her to spring hunting. But she was excited to say she heard a few gobbles. They didn’t have any luck but hopefully they will before season ends.

No turkeys were heard or seen on Mason and Alana’s hunt this morning. Btw, that is his truck in the background… you know how it is, pack in deep into the wilderness and the critters will be at your truck.

Found this recipe for those who got lucky enough to get one this season….

David Halloran's Wild Turkey Smash Burger Recipe | SITKA Gear

After a successful hunt putting in the miles chasing gobblers, there are few things better than getting that wild turkey on the grill and sharing it with friends and family. This bacon, guac, and Swiss wild turkey smash burger has long been a favorite of the Halloran family. It’s pretty simple...

Might be worth a shot….

Went to a new spot this afternoon, buddy I work with bought 30+ac horse farm, not far from my house, last fall. Never being there before I looked on onx for property lines and likely lookin spots. Went to the far end of the farm, nice little grassy field bottom. Put out a strutter and hen decoy and crawled into some thick shit with a few openings to shoot. Tried one of my slate calls and didn't like how it sounded, switched to a mouth call a let out a couple cackles and yelps. Nothin. I'm texting a buddy and my brother and I hear a spit. Look to my left and here he comes. Strutted all the way into a load of #5's at 15yds. 20lbs, 10-1/2"beard, and a 1-3/8"&1-1/4"spurs. I wasn't sitting there 10min. Stupit birds.

Good luck to you and Sydney!
I may take a friend out tomorrow. He’s been trying hard all season to bag his first turkey but hasn’t had a bit of luck. I took him out one time last year. He missed two and I have really enjoyed giving him grief about that ever since.
