2025 Turkey Season

I’ll be out in the morning. Been seeing birds. Good luck!

We will get out at some point this weekend. Won’t be this week, working 12s in Duluth so I don’t get home till later. Took my week off last week for fishing. But I wouldn’t take much time off to kill these birds any ways. Otherwise my son is very excited to try and stick a bird with his bow. I don’t get to exilerated over turkey hunting but it is a good way to get the bow back in the woods and do a little early season deer scouting

Found a handful of roost trees but you couldnt pay me enough to get covered in ticks for a turkey. good luck to those that do!

will be out Friday Morning with my 9 year old chasing his first turkey kill

Going this weekend with my son. Private land so hopefully the birds aren’t affected by starting a few days late.

Think I am going to wait till B season, too busy this week and weekend. You have to spray down all your clothing with Permethrin if you want to have a chance of not being covered in ticks. Good luck to those headed out in season A

FYI – there were a stupid amount of turkeys out in the golf coarse at Michigan City, IN yesterday. Just in case someone didn’t have time to scout

I’ll be out tomorrow evening if im able. Otherwise I have the rest of the week off for it. Don’t scout ahead of time, but I don’t see many people hunting the public areas where I do the first week so the turkeys are either there or they won’t be. Even if I scouted and didn’t see them I’d still go just to get into the woods. As thick as they’ve been this year I’m not too worried about not seeing any.

I saw about 3 flocks and 100+ turkeys yesterday, plus a few stragglers here and there. Should be a target rich environment for you guys!

I will be going out with a buddy bright and early tomorrow morning. Going to try to get him one with his crossbow. Going to be pretty windy but it’s always windy down here amongst the wind towers. At least it will be pretty warm and not a foot of snow.

The areas I hunt I usually see piles of them this year not squat. Did see a few hens and toms on camera at my dads last time I checked. Gonna go by Victoria in the morning. Usually all over that land. Havent seen any but only been up by the old farm house. Did hear a couple gobbles there Sunday morning so we shall see.

Do cross bow hunters get the full season like bow hunters ? One would hope not, they should get 1 week like shotgun guys.

Depends if they buy a firearm or archery license. You can use a crossbow with either license and would be held to the season of that license.

Frankly I don’t mind. Might as well give the whole season to firearm hunters as well. I don’t think you’d see crowding in areas and the population seems like it could handle greater hunter success.

Planning to get out with one of the son’s this weekend. Scouted last Friday and had great success so my hopes are high. Weather is looking ideal for the weekend too!

i’m not going turkey hunting…..but in my recent travels i’ve seen more dead ones in road ditches then live ones out and about???
