March 2008 Report

After a successful conclusion to our exclusive hog hunting packages on March 10th, preparation began for our March 15th opening of Spring Turkey season. With very unusual and uncharacteristic weather trends since the start of 2008, our turkey season began very slowly with very little gobbling activity from age weary old toms. Most gobbling was generally heard well after fly down time making it impossible to close the gap on these birds as they were already on the ground gathering a harem of hens for their daily activities. On the first hunt of the season 4 hunters harvested 3 birds and squandered opportunities on 2 others at very close range. Basically if a bird gobbled the first week, he died. After a break for the Easter weekend things picked up fast. On our second and third hunts of the year, 6 hunters harvested 6 birds, missed 2 and again due to improper set ups and untimely movement squandered another 6 opportunities to harvest birds within 20 to 30 yards. We expect subsequent hunting to get better and better each week from this point forward. I would tell you to come and join us but we are booked for the remainder of the 2008 spring season so book early for next spring.
