Home Forums Birds & Dogs Turkey Hunting 2012 Western Swing turkey hunt

That time of year again guys! We made our annual trip to the "West" for turkeys. We are a group of 4 guys and we all hunt together here locally and when our season is wrapped up and tags are filled at home, we head out "West" to chase the birds a little longer.

This year we went to OK, TX, CO, and KS in that order. We had a blast as always and it was lots of fun to spend time together with the guys.

We started slowly and found the hunting a little tough early on in OK and TX. The early spring, warm weather, and rain contributed to early breeding and very green conditions across this region this year. The wheat was about 1 month ahead of schedule and VERY tall. Really tough conditions. We managed to kill a few though! From there we closed with a bang and really did well in CO and KS and loads of fun. Conditions there were tough but much more doable and we ended the trip on a high note.

Once again a very fun and successful trip. Please enjoy the pics and I'll include some scenery shots as well in a second post probably.
