What’s With The Beard?

One of the most prized possessions of many turkey hunters is their collection of beards and spurs from hunting adventures. Most turkey hunters can quickly recall where their biggest or best bird was killed and all the details that made the hunt. Spur length, weight, and beard length are all topics for bragging rights on these “kings of the spring.”

Pat Reeve on Why I Love Minnesota Gobblers

We are really blessed in Minnesota. Our turkeys aren’t nearly as call-shy as the turkeys in Alabama, Missouri and some of the other southern and midwestern states, because our turkeys don’t receive a lot of hunting pressure here in Minnesota. Our turkeys are also easier to call than in many other states, and our turkeys really gobble loud. Another thing I like about hunting Minnesota gobblers is a longbeard that’s 3 years old may weigh

Pat Reeve’s Role in Restocking Wild Turkeys in Minnesota

I went to college with the intentions of becoming a game warden. I majored in criminal justice with a minor in wildlife. But when I got out of college, no money or positions were available for new game wardens. At that time, the Minnesota DNR was involved in a turkey restocking program, and some of the funding was coming from the NWTF.

The Four Stages of a Turkey Hunter

The first stage that a hunter goes through, especially a turkey hunter, is to bag that first bird. The second stage is he wants to harvest so-many birds he can’t load them all in the back of his or her pickup truck. The third stage is he wants to harvest the biggest gobbler that’s ever been taken or perhaps take a Grand Slam or a World Slam. And, the fourth stage in turkey hunting is

Build Forts While Turkey Hunting with Children

You can’t really expect a youngster to sit still and be quiet as long as you can sit still and be quiet when you’re working a turkey. For this reason, when I’m taking a youngster hunting, I’ll try and locate a gobbler before the hunt, set-up a portable blind and brush it up. I’ll put it close enough that I can call to that turkey, or I’ll build a natural blind out of branches, limbs

International Shed Hunting with the ScentBlocker Pros

I'll never forget the sight. More of an excuse to get my kids out of the house than anything, our “shed” hunting trip didn't last long. But it didn't need to either. Barely peeking out of a fresh crust of snow, two tiny tines were reaching out toward the sky. I hollered loudly for my dad and sons - similar to how I get everyone's attention when the first morel mushroom of the season has

Have the Right Turkey Hunting Stuff

One of the first things I do before I go hunting with my grandchildren is make sure they: have camo pants and shirts that fit them; have a quality pair of comfortable boots; look at themselves in the mirror and know they look good, like a turkey hunter should; and have guns that fit them. Youngsters want to have everything you have, so I always make sure I have a gun that will fit them.

Remember You Want Children to Have Fun Turkey Hunting

One Small Mistake Can Ruin Your Turkey Population

The wild turkey is an amazing bird. Although their numbers across the U.S. are really good, most any hunter or sportsman wouldn’t mind seeing a few more where they hunt or manage land. A simple mistake we see made every year that can have a negative impact on your turkey numbers is the good old bush hog.
