Any turkey down?

Just curious how spring turkey is going.

Hoping to do a bikepacking turkey hunt next weekend in the Jemez.

Im itching to get out there. Hopefully this week I can get out and put the smack down on some thunder chickens!

I got one last Tuesday AM, 3 gobblers came in fast. Happy to get one but sort of a screwup that I didn't get 2. Overall there was a decent amount of gobbling in the area I was hunting, although it was almost all early and late.

Arrowed one last Friday after a little rain shower came through.

I poked around the Datil area but couldn't find any. That said, I'm a complete noob with Turkey hunting. I decided its pointless to drive out to a spot unless you know they've been nearby in the past week or two. So... I set some game cameras up in the forest near Socorro and will check them in a few days. If I see something I'll hunt near them, if I don't I will hunt near the bosque and just hope I get fortunate.

I've been to busy with family stuff and work to have time to chase turkeys. Next week I should finally get a chance. Hopefully, I'll have some pictures to share.

Did some scouting two days before the opener and saw six toms, but I won't have a chance to get back in there until this Friday when I'll put my title as NM's worst turkey hunter on the line. Hopefully this will be the year I shed that title...

Some of my best memories with my son was turkey hunting very nice.

Awesome to see the kids do well.

Despite my zero calling skills, I was sitting in the right spot yesterday, when a couple hens walked by, followed by these two guys:

The gobblers were in full strut, but otherwise neither them or the hens were making a sound.

My little guy hammered this bird, his first, on Easter morning. Happy Guy!

I have barely gotten the chance to head out. I was drawn for unit 8. Sandia ranger district. Spent 2 days with no sightings. I'm wondering the same as there were 14 others that drew for this same unit. Spring Turkey 2019
