Haven't seen many turkey success stories lately on here.. anyone slam a bird this fall? Just curious. I didn't see anything while I was out this season but I also wasn't really scouting much for turkey this fall.
Turkey success anyone?

it's funny a week before the season it was like turkey heaven near my deer stand. then the season starts they all disappeared. lol
I could have arrowed a turkey easy before the season. I seen turkey hunters scout a week before opener so maybe they busted the spots.

The birds have it marked on their calendar, when season opens they split. I kept seeing this flock of about 10 longbeards hanging out by old hwy 80 though everytime i drive out to my deer spot.. but they knew they were safe on private land there.

same thing with deer hunting on public land, see tons & tons of deer tracks & scat everywhere then the season starts. they all head for private property or scrub brush so thick it's impossible to hunt. lol" they know", they know when to run.
I went out 2 times with no success. I had a big buck walk in, after season of course, to my turkey blind about 20 yards from me. I always see turkey during deer season and deer during turkey season!

The fall season Turkey's don't respond often to calls! It's the spring season that you get them more responsive
hahaha nice try. once turkey see you, you're busted, it's all over.

They may be all over where y'all are at but up here they are pretty scarce this year. I have only heard of two people getting Turkeys up here in the Fresno Area. Don't worry Longbowhunter2 I wasn't asking specific spots. I'm a seasoned hunter and know better than that!
hey man no problem, but TripleJ I am sincere there is turkeys all over, but most of them are on private land. when turkey season starts they head for the hills. turkeys move around a lot.just have to be on top of it before season starts.

Not to worry TJO. I think Lee was busting my chops, not yours. He's right, turkeys are smart and hard to harvest... But fun to hunt!
To answer your question, there is a map I've seen that shows turkey habitat. In SD, you find the Merriam's in the pine forests of the Laguna Mts. I'll post the link separately.
