I was fortunate to draw a San Carlos spring turkey hunt, April 4th thru the 12th and looking for some assistance on traveling on the tribal land roads and even possible good camp sites. Currently looking at both Point of Pines and even further northeast towards Malay Gap, which from what I see on OnXHunt could be 50 to 65 plus miles off the main roads. My hunt will be solo, and though I will be driving my trust 2001 Tundra 4x4 like to hear from anyone who's hunted on San Carlos and their experience from their travels.

thank you for responding, must say, I am addicted to hunting this area after pondering what was beyond I-8 as I drove through for 30+ years on vacations and salt water fishing adventures. I am planning on going out to area in Fedruary for NWTF Spring Turkey Season Tune Up and hopeful for additional support and information to hunt in the spring. You mentioned "pay to play" and joining a club any recomendations, don't mind paying to play, that is now the world we live in. I scouted Julian and Descano area and yes there are turkey's but most certainly on alot of private property, upping my game plan. Maybe we can further talk, my email address is tom1252003@hotmail.com. thanks again

Tough decision, I just recently retired an live in the northeast valley having access to Mcdowell Mountains and Rio Verde and was hoping for some help in hunting this coming December and January for a crossbow mule deer hunt. As a avid hiking and runner, I know there are nice mule deer in Unit 25M but never seen anyone hunting archery for them, plus never seen a water catchment tank where I could set up a blind. Now I've hunted elk in 18A and it is a tough hunt but mule deer is present and feel my time maybe better spent just going north. Any suggestions on how to approach 2024 OTC hunt.

Has anyone experienced hunting southern California near Alpine, I hear there are good bit of turkeys in Cleveland National Forest and considering heading over for their fall hunt in November.

Looking to buy older model 870 youth model 20 gauge with wood stock for sale for turkey hunting?

Awesome weekend. Went up to 6B on Thursday to set up camp and recheck areas from prior weekend. Turkeys were running a little earlier than week before but still came into tanks at 5:15. Opening was head out before dawn and walk the ridges surrounding tanks and locate their roost. By mid morning had three opportunities on over 30 birds including being busted by 4 Jake’s. Evening all hens so let them pass in hoping for a Tom. Second day same and by 10 had a flock of 30 to 40 pass me by at 70 yards I watched them feed at 100 yards for an hour, calling softly only to have them respond and return to my location. I was able to set up on taking a 25 yard shot on hen and couldn’t be happier. First turkey. Box checked and looking forward to another hunt.

I will be in 6B solo hunting and from my last weekend trip very hopefull on my first ever fall turkey hunt, though I am going to try to be very selective on shooting a Tom. But that could change by first light.

yes, I am in the same situation, I am heading up to 6b the week before for friend elk hunt. So what was your fall hunts like as to being successful?

Being new to hunting turkey, the past few years I have put in for both spring and fall and drew a tag for 6B this coming October. Being from back east where back in the 80's and 90's the fall turkey hunts coincided with whitetail archery and I always enjoyed seeing turkeys and having the options to switch during the course of the day, which can be very productive. Now the dilemma, I was all good in heading up north for 6B hunt, but all my friends keep telling me I am loosing the opportunity for a spring hunt where success would be higher in bagging a Gobbler by burning my points for the up-coming fall hunt. So I have milled this thought should I surrender my tag and hold off for a possible spring hunt (with 3 points) or enjoy the woods and if luck has it bag a bird. I have to figure in at 67 years young, there are only so many years to point save. As always to my fellow AHF members, your thoughts are greatly appreciated
