    I see turkeys pretty often while deer hunting, but in LA turkey season is in the spring. But when we find em during deer season we know where to set up in the spring!

    Bow season for deer & turkey came in September 1st. until January 21st :)... (Eastern part of KY.)

    I've been seeing a lot of turkey this year on my property feeding right beside the deer!... Its still a little too warm here for me to start bow hunting... So I've been passing the time camping & Bass fishing! :)

    Saturday morning was the Nebraska deer and fall turkey opener, saw two small bucks, a doe with fawn, and two hens. Never seen turkeys at that hunting spot before.

    The population of turkeys on that land was reduced by 1.

    I sometimes keep an expandable or two in my quiver just for Turkey, but usually just shoot my Muzzy's

    I see turkeys about 80% of the time. I feel as if it's usually a good time. If it's in season, shoot it!

    I love having the option to shoot both here in Ohio! I probably see turkeys about 1/3 of my hunts

    I went and got my fall turkey archery tag last weekend and hopefully will have the chance at one. Saw 2 turkeys the week before that were about 50 yards away and that's what reminded me to go get the tag. Lol

    I saw about 20 turkey yesterday while bow hunting deer. Couldn't get a shot cuz of distance and thickness of the forest.
