Title: Turkey Talk
Show Notes:
Parrey Cremeans guides for mule deer, elk, turkey, and more at Just For Hunting in California and beyond. He’s embarking on the Super Slam which is harvesting a turkey in all 49 states. Yes, that’s 48 states, plus Hawaii. Alaska proved to be too cold for them. Parrey calls it “Chasing 49”, and he discusses some of his favorite turkey hunting stories today.
In parts of the country that are heavily populated, you might have to get creative about how you hunt. But when you hear people sharing their stories about how they’ve got a flock of turkeys in their backyards, then you know they’re all over the country. In certain states in the east, you can’t even pull a tag until you can prove that you have permission to hunt on someone’s land.
Okay, you’ve located a roost. What do you do next? Parrey walks me through the next step once you find turkeys. Everything in the woods is a community species, and they all want to be together until they don’t have to. So of course, the time of year, or the breeding season, is going to play a big role in your stalking or calling strategy.
A lot of turkey hunters will say, “Turkeys were made to be shot with a shotgun”. Well, that depends on whether you’re shooting in the east or the west. Back east, you might see one or two toms and three hens, but out west, Parrey’s seen groups of 60-200 at a time. If you’re chasing turkeys in 49 different states, you’re going to need to change your strategy dozens of times to adjust for their different habits.
