Our youth season opened Saturday. The boys both notched thier tags on Sunday. This was my youngest's first turkey, on our way home Saturday night he had said it was great to finally be the hunter...that he'd "been waiting so long for this"!

Here in Ca I finally committed to the bow and got the first archery bird. Snuck in to 60, called him to 30.

Opening morning Merriam's tom today. Sweet talked this guy right in.

There was a bigger guy that was literally mounting a hen nearby when I shot this gobbler. First time I've ever seen that, the breeding went on for about three minutes, surprising. Chickens are done in seconds.

Any general tips for a guy new to mountain birds? General elevation to look around maybe? Gonna try and get out tomorrow, but I havent turkey hunted for a few years, and all my experience is in Missouri. Got boots and legs though, and willing to put them to work.

Dude the first year I committed to bow hunting turkeys I didn't kill one, went back to shotgun the last 2 seasons, now finally killed one with an arrow. That bird felt earned.

I used a Sevr head. It's the only expandable I trust at the moment.

Got this guy this morning @ 7:35 on opening day in Oklahoma. They were gobbling their brains out this morning. Woodhaven Toxic Orange was the last song he heard.

It really depends on the time of year and how bad the winter was. This year the birds in my area are incredibly low because of all the late snow. My suggestion is find where they roost and the start low and hike up. Also don’t be afraid to go above the snow line. The last two years I’ve shot my turkey in areas that still had a lot of patches of snow.
