Missouri Hunter Feedback Throughout this website are many hunter testimonials from harvests on our Missouri lease land as well as that of Kansas and Iowa. This is one such feedback.
Hello to all at MAHA, Here are some pictures from our spring turkey season. The first day it rained all day but I still managed to take a nice gobbler. That was probably the ugliest turkey I have ever shot. He was blind in one eye (no that is not why I was able to kill him as my brother suggested) and he was missing several tail feathers, he did however weigh 24 lbs, have a 10 in beard, and 1 & 3/8 in spurs, a true limb hanger (I have a picture to prove it). 
Jeremy (my brother) got our second gobbler around 12:30pm on day two. The rain had just ended and the sun was breaking through. A nice 25 lb bird with long spurs! Day three we awoke to a starry sky and the turkeys were really gobbling good that morning. We could not get the toms away from hens until later in the morning. Again, about 12:30pm after being close but not close enough all morning, Jeremy and I were able to double up on two nice toms. Both were mature gobblers 24lbs with 1&1/8in spurs. Jeremy's turkey had a 10&1/2 in beard. The real surprise came when we got up to my turkey. It had not only a nice beard but five beards -- 10,8,6,5,&4 inches for a total of 33 inches of beard!!! 
We had a great time hunting and all the lease land we hunted had good numbers of turkeys. The best lease was actually a second choice Missouri farm! If you don't get a turkey right off the roost, don't give up. Also, just because the weather is bad and the turkeys are not gobbling does not mean they are not there. A big thank you to all at MAHA for the great work you all do for us traveling hunters. Three days hunted in Missouri and Kansas: 4 mature gobblers, 65 total inches of beard, 99 pounds of turkey, 9&3/4 inches of spur, a 5 bearded tom. And I saved the best for last; I killed a bigger turkey than my little brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!! P.S. Jeremy and I applied for Iowa bow tags this week so we will keep our fingers crossed (we each have one preference point). Impatiently awaiting deer season, Greg Thanks for the great hunting account Greg, a good read. Good luck to you and Jeremy while deer hunting |
