Turkey season is only a month away, and I've finally begun scouting this year's chosen Crown Land. I can't even begin to explain how exciting it was to wake up early in the morning after a long, cold winter to know that we'll be going for a good drive up north to the quiet woods where turkey and deer inhabit the lands. I almost felt as if I were going hunting that day. I've never been to this Crown Land before, so the scouting was very critical.
I found many locations in these woods that seemed like great turkey habitat. They weren't heavily wooded, but they were wooded just enough for the big birds to feel safe and comfortable. I blew my crow call a few times to try and locate some gobblers, but heard nothing. Other than that, there wasn't much action involved in this weekend's scout, but I will definitely be going back again to scout some more areas before the turkey season starts.
I snapped a few photos while scouting as well, and here they are:
