I LOVE the first morning, the night before your all pumped up and then wake up before dark and sit in the stand and watch the sunrise and listen to the first gobble of the season, it puts goose bumps on my arms and a bigggg smile! Im from where we dont have many turkeys, maybe 20 within 7 miles, so i go down to where we go hunting and no matter wat if i get a bird or not im always happy!

Generally speaking, the 1st week of your season should be the best for getting toms to respond to your calls. It is all according to when they actually started their mating season. If your season starts a week after they have started mating, then you may find that your toms are all henned up. At that point you may find you have better luck later in the morning after the toms have met and left their gals to find new prospects. Sometimes you may find it easier hunting later in the season, when most of the hens have been bred and the toms are wandering looking for new gals.

My favorite time is when my buddy comes out from Dallas. He is an expert caller. I have seen him call up 8 toms and have seen some exellent jousts. We have been blessed with lots o' turkeys this year is going to be phenomonal

Thanks for all response. I purchased a turkey bow hunt in Newcastle, Texas, so I need to schedule the hunt. A friend introduced me to hunting last year and it is very addicting experience and has allowed me to spend some great times with my son. This year I want to learn to hunt turkeys. I am sureI will have many questions, but promise try and find answers in previous posts before asking. Thanks

Wow! Gotta say that that first morning when you hear that first gobble. I always think 'man, hard to believe another year went past so fast'.

Other than that, there is no BAD time to be turkey hunting for me. Now the weather and the birds might not feel this way but I only get so many days a year and when I have em I'll be out there unless the wind is above, well..................... 100mph?

I just try my very best to tell myself, I can't possibly even get lucky if I'm sitting in the truck, sleeping in bed, or for god's sake at the office................but then again, turkey hunting season naps whether in the woods or otherwise are pretty sweet too!

I'll stick with my first answer.............
