Spring Turkey Hunting - Beginners Guide To Successful Hunting

By Bill Murphy


Many people have been passionate for the spring turkey hunting event. This is a hunting contest which is annually held all over the country. Unlike shooting events, hunting is more complicated. It involves locating, following and scouting turkeys. This is a good way for hunters to compete and show their shooting prowess.

This is very hard considering turkeys are very evasive and cautious. Turkeys would immediately run if they sense the presence of hunters. In order to win the contests, hunters should have the greatest number of kills with the least amount of time. Winning the spring contest is considered a great honor amongst hunters.

The spring turkey hunting is very enjoyable since lots of turkeys are used as bait. Turkeys pose a lot of challenge since they are very alert. In order to find them, the hunters need to track their location using trails and clues. Turkeys leave a distinct cross mark on the ground. The hunter should carefully follow these marks in order to avoid alerting the birds. Before shooting, the hunter should confirm the target. Randomly shooting areas in the hunting ground is not allowed. Other people could be shot or killed if hunters are not careful. This is because live ammunition is used.

The rifles used in the spring turkey hunting are inspected and checked before the events. High powered and long range rifles are not allowed. This could also be considered a threat to people watching and governing the sport. This is because the guns utilize very powerful ammunitions that could severely damage the meat of the turkey. One shot from a powerful sniper rifle could be lethal even though a person is wearing a bulletproof vest. Some events only allow rubber bullets which are strong enough to stop a turkey. This would eliminate immediate danger to the lives of hunters and people participating in the events.

Turkey hunting is considered a very competitive sport by a lot of people. This is because it involves a lot of factors. Hunting a turkey is very hard to accomplish. There are other turkey behaviors to be considered during spring turkey hunting. That is why winning the competition is regarded as a great accomplishment. For example, a tom can be extremely territorial that a tom wouldn't hesitate to attack another tom for a contest at male turkey dominance. When a tom sees another tom near a hen or an area it frequents, it will quickly sprint towards it.
