Michigan Turkey Season Opener: A Tale of Trials and Triumphs Generations To Hunt
-
- Vildmarken
Welcome back to another episode of the Generations Hunt Podcast. In this episode, Matt and Joe dive deep into our turkey hunting experiences here in Michigan, sharing the highs and lows of our recent hunts.
The turkey season is in full swing, and we kicked off the episode discussing the current state of the season, with some areas just opening up for public land hunting.
Our hunting tales began with an opening day filled with excitement and a bit of chaos. Despite a rocky start, forgetting turkey calls and dealing with the elements, we encountered several turkeys, experiencing close calls that kept us on the edge of our seats. We discussed our strategies, the challenges of hunting in dense woods with plenty of downfalls, and the thrill of interacting with these cautious birds.
The next day brought more opportunities and lessons learned. We adjusted our tactics, moving locations to intercept a particularly vocal turkey. After a suspenseful wait and some strategic calling, I managed to harvest a fine turkey, overcoming obstacles like an awkward shooting position and a momentarily misplaced camera.
Throughout the episode, we shared tips on turkey behavior, calling techniques, and the importance of adaptability in the field. We also reflected on the enjoyment of hunting together, the camaraderie.
Matt had a close encounter with a turkey that came within 20 yards, but dense obstacles in the woods blocked his view, preventing a clear shot. As the turkey moved away, Matt tried to call it back but with no luck. Returning to the field to hunt without a blind, Matt's setup with decoys led to the turkey spotting him, causing him to miss the shot. In a last-ditch attempt, Matt took another shot, which turned into a successful harvest, concluding the hunt on a high note.
