Which of course in order to shoot properly you shouldn’t be looking at anyway.

Zero effect to my hunt. I WON'T LET COVID RUIN MY DAY... LOL

I was out this morning checking turkey movements . Seen more deer on my property than any time in the past. Watch 6 deer eating out in hay field just a pigging out watched them for 20 minutes with 3 turkeys

By the way deer don’t care. They know it’s no were near their season

I find it funny to watch a bunch of deer standing on bluff watching fishing tugs pull in nets

question; my regular spot around Owen Sound isn't showing much promise this year, the owner hasn't seen much sign this spring so I thought I might try further north. My bear spot is up in Gowganda and I don't expect them to be that far north but can anyone give me an idea about how far north that Turkeys have migrated? I have another spot that might have some promise around South River and plan to scout that area out. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Yep, South River is WMU48 & WMU50 (depending on what side of Chemical Road you are on). I checked the regs and there is a spring turkey hunt for WMU46-50 so you are good to go.

Good luck!

a friend of mine has a cottage up there and Ive seen turkeys while driving around there.

But as a general question :

if there is turkey season for an area, can we make the assumption that there is a good turkey population in the area ?
now if there is also fall season in that area, can we assume the population is higher and more stable in those areas ?

410001661's list in the original post is a really good checklist for all of us.

I'd add a couple things:

1. Enter the 2021 OOD Big Gobbler Contest at the Sticky above, or click here https://www.oodmag.com/community/sho...tration-Thread
2. Spray your boots, pants and vest with permetherin and let it dry a few days before the season - this is a must where I live - we picked up ticks collecting sap last month, and a coyote I shot recently had ticks I found while skinning - Lyme disease is pretty scary
