I wish I had that problem (turkeys in my yard). The other day when we went to our private pond, there were at least 12 turkeys in the dirt road on our property. I saw some with red heads and a few were hens for sure, but I don't know about the rest. The season starts March 15th. I came close to killin one a few times last season but never did. One time, the gobbler came in on a string but saw the Pretty Boy decoy and took off running so we figured he wasn't the dominant bird anyway. Another time, one snuck up on us when we were working another bird and got wouldn't come past a pile of cut timber. The guy that was calling for me came back the next day and killed that bird. It weighted 24 point something pounds, 13 inch beard, and 2 inch spurs. :shock:
I only hunt private land so no one should be riding up on me. Down south, stalking is the main part of turkey hunting. I guess we're just bad callers. I'm getting pumped up just talking about it, I like turkey hunting more than deer hunting.
