Big Browns Report post Posted April 7, 2017 The first hunt is usually much better. I've killed Turkey's on the first and last day of the hunt, but the first half has always been more productive for me. I HIGHLY recommend giving the kids 4 days to hunt. Getting a Turkey is not usually that hard once you find them, but it can take a few days to find them. Sometimes getting it done in 2 days can be hard. The more days the better! I also recommend getting a turkey calling CD and listen to it on the drive up. It will give you a few pointers on calling and give the kids a good idea of what to listen for. Good Luck!

IA Born Report post Posted April 7, 2017 Youth turkey hunt camps are happening! That's what me and my boy are going to do. Yep, but most are filled up with waiting lists right now. If I'm understanding your question correctly, you're wondering about the first or second general season to take them up. The youth OTC tags are not valid during the first or second weekend of the general season. They are valid April 21-28, and then again May 12-25 this year in units 1, 4A, 4B, 5A, 5B, 7, 8, 10, 12A, and 27 (in the regs). If I'm wrong about my interpretation, please correct me. I'd just hate to see you and your boys get in trouble. Good luck! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IA Born Report post Posted April 7, 2017 You are correct IABORN. Those are the hunts I am talkino about. Excellent! I prefer the early weekend, but they can be on fire later when hens are nesting and lonely toms are still looking. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
