2012 Spring Turkey

FullDraw Outfitters • Jun 27, 2014

Turkey season has come and gone!

Week 1:  We had 6 hunters in our first group.  Opening morning we had snow! It was a great 3 day hunt and all six of our hunters saw numerous birds and 5 out of 6 took nice birds.

Week 2:  We had 3 hunters in our next group. One shot a beautiful  Merriams gobbler on the first morning of his hunt. The other  two hunters went 1 for 2 and numerous birds seen.

Week 3:  We had 4 hunters in our third group.  All four had shots and 3 took home some nice birds.

Week 4:  Our fourth group had a good hunt but no birds on the ground.  We had two hunters miss 3 birds , one at 12 yards, one at 22 yards and one at 25 yards and one hunter passed on some younger birds.  Our fourth hunter saw birds but nothing came into range.

Week 5:  Our fifth group of hunters tagged out by the second day.  The first hunter shot a great gobbler the first ten minutes of his hunt.  And on the second day our second hunter made a excellent shot on a mountain jake at 30 yards.

Week 6:  This past week we had two guys in camp.  Each saw multiple gobblers on each day of their hunt, and one of the hunters harvested a beautiful tom on the second day.

Season Stats:  Out of the 21 hunters we had in camp 13 birds were killed.  Another 6 had opportunities: out of those six, three hunters missed and two hunters passed on birds.  Only 2 hunters didn’t have an opportunity.
