Critter Report post Posted March 28, 2014 That's a tough one for turkey. I've seen turkey up in 17A maybe 3-4 times total. I drew that same tag last year. Called in a lone hen on a water hole on my hunt but otherwise no bearded turkeys. Didn't even see a tom or jake. Then again... when I hiked into this tank there was a bear on it... took video of the bear and all. That was exciting. Good news is there's only what 10 tags or so? Just because I didn't have much luck doesn't mean you won't... go scout and check it all out.. I have a few spots if you pm me but no guarantees. Juniper mesa area is a good chance.

Call the AZGFD and speak to the game manager for that unit. I've found that they are willing to help with information. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Don Martin Report post Posted April 1, 2014 Tough place to find turkeys in my opinion. First year we drew tags there my lady friend sat waters with a decoy spread in front of her while I wandered around. She got a huge gobbler (11 inch beard) on Day 2 and I got one out of a flock of 6 gobblers that were chasing a single hen. That bird had a 9 1/2 inch beard. That also was on Day 2. Went back the second year and called in one hen..didn't see or hear a gobble the entire time we were there! Don't know what happened and have never been back. Collecting bonus points for Gould's now and hunting turkeys on San Carlos where there are actually a lot of birds! Call Darren, the WM for that area, he may be able to help. Good luck, Don Martin Arizona Wildlife Outfitters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
208muley Report post Posted April 3, 2014 It used to be a great hunt! One of the best! But has slid quite a bit in numbers. I've killed quite a few in the past and know a few spots that seem to produce. If these other guys info doesn't pan out, drop me a pm and I will try to help out as much as I can.
