2026 Turkey harvest pics

[WMelbgator]

Harvested my first turkey on the farm my wife and I purchased last year. During the first week of the West Virginia season we took 5 birds. The youngest hunter was 8 years old and the oldest was 71 years old. 4 of the 5 were first timers and this was my fourth bird. Used Federal TSS in 20GA and harvested at 26 yards. Call was a plane jane WoodHaven mouth call.

Added another 2 birds for the season. Eastern WA, responded to calls but hung up, little walking to get out in front of them, no deke, just a couple putts on the slate and got the job done.

A MT bird from yesterday morning! The area I was hunting, the birds seemed to be quite call shy. I'm guessing they get a fair amount of pressure. I ended getting this guy spot and stalk, 25 yard shot with a new Stevens .410, shooting federal TSS.

Got the Wyoming Merriam today.
Anyone seen a beak that long? I don’t think I have…

I got my second and final bird of the season yesterday. Hopefully, I can get out to help a couple more times.

Last night I decided I was going to get up early this morning and drive a few hours to my spot. The birds were scattered and quiet but I managed to finally get a gobbler to answer. I kept hitting him with clucks and cackles and he finally committed. Once he did, he came in fast.
