The hunt begins before dawn, to locate a roost, set up for calling, or position for an ambush to bring in a gobbler. Our turkeys are highly vocal, making them a blast to chase with decoys and calls as they respond eagerly to the challenge. Throughout the day, we hike, listen for new birds, and check or sit at our turkey feeders to create opportunities on a longbeard. After an action-packed day pursuing gobblers, you’ll return to the lodge for delicious home-cooked meals and the camaraderie of camp life. With at least 1 guide per 1 to 2 hunters, this hunt is the perfect way to kick off spring.
For added excitement, ask us about the possibility of purchasing a Black Bear tag as an add-on species during our spring turkey hunts, on a trophy fee basis.
