Dirt Nap for the Old Long Beards
Yelp, yelp, yelp, bang, that’s all it took. The “30 Minute Turkey” hunter became one of our hunters new nick name. It took 20 minutes to walk in and set up, 9 minutes to sit quietly and yelp just 3 times, and 1 minute for the bird to see the decoys, come in and be put to rest by a blanket of lead. “Man, is it always that easy?” asked our turkey hunter this past week. As far as most turkey hunts go, that wasn’t even a true turkey hunt, but we’ll take it.
Here at Heartland Lodge our turkey season has started right were we left off from the 2008 season. For the hunters that experienced some of the best gobbler hunting in the Midwest with us, it will be a lasting memory that will stay with them for years to come. We have had 2 hunters in camp so far, both of which have had opportunities, and one was able to bag a bird. That’s just the icing on the cake. The experience alone out in the woods during the spring is worth it.
With all of our hunts being fully guided, 1 on 1 hunts, most of our hunters are just getting started or looking for that edge of having a seasoned guide at their side. No matter which end of the experience spectrum they are on, we give 110% towards getting them a bird and great hunt. We are definitely looking forward to our upcoming whitetail season, to complete the cycle.
Whether or not you are after long beards or big bucks, I love to see you in camp on a hunt in the future.
