Minnesota Waterfowl Hunting

I didn't apply this year, figured I would buy a license over the counter if I decide to go.....

As far as good eating, they're not terrible , depends how you make em, but one thing for sure , they're no Butterball from a store.....we usually have them smoked.......

You think wild turkey tastes bad...you realize you're posting this on a duck hunting site, right? What do you do with your waterfowl?

I like eating ducks and geese but if I had to pick on over the other it'd be wild turkey nine times out of ten.

He must have thought he was on the farm raised chicken forum.

I've been hunting turkeys for about 20 years now - fought it for a while cause it interfered with trout fishing. Been addicted to it since the first day of the first year that I finally gave in and went. I have about a 90% success rate and have helped many, many people shoot their first turkeys. It can be stupid easy or very frustrating, depending on the day. But I have yet to eat one that wasn't about as good as what you buy in the store. I like duck too, but turkey is much more appealing to the wild game skeptics. I'll be out the last weekend of April again this year.

Another thing I forgot is scent. Turkeys don't care about scent but the deer do. I've had many times that turkeys were out in the field and a deer winded me and ran off with the turkeys.

5 days away from opener who is going out?

Fish Felon, now that was funny....

mine starts in 20 days... and a baby due in 25

Hopefully he or she doesn't come early! That could put an early end to turkey season

I have a license to hunt season B. That is next week Mon-Fri. Hoping I'll be able to hunt 2 or 3 mornings and at least one full day. Early weather predictions are saying mild and sunny!
