Don't be that guy........April 25th will come fast

A red dot, nor any other sight will help with wingshooting. The best "sight" for wingshooting is a simple unassuming bead at the end of your barrel.

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

Is the newly to be announced Ontario 28 day lockdown going to mess up your hunt ?
I just have to step out my door. Have couple buddies planning on coming for open week

Covid sucks

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

Is there an open season up in South River?

Wonder that myself. Looked it up and if I got it right south river is either in wmu 49 or 50 which do have open seasons

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
