Another deer gun season has come to a close and Alan and Ernest are busy burning and other wildlife management activities to ensure that our hunters always have the best opportunity to harvest game. They also will be taking care of some hog hunters headed our way in late February and early March.
For those of you who know Alan, he is a guy that just doesn't get excited about too much, but big bucks and gobblers get him worked up! Since deer season has passed, he is getting real excited that turkey season opens in one month.
Actually, one month from tomorrow on March 14, Alabama's turkey season opens with a youth weekend. Turkey season for everyone 16 years of age and older begins on March 16 and continues on through April 30.
Similar to what we did last fall with our youth deer hunt, we are offering a youth turkey hunt on March 14 and 15 for youth ages 15 and under along with their parent:
- Two mornings of turkey hunting one on one with an experienced guide
- Lodging on Friday and Saturday nights
- Three meals on Saturday and two meals on Sunday
- Total cost of $800 for both youth and parent
What a deal! Bring your fishing pole or four wheeler for Saturday afternoon fun. If you want to hunt on Saturday afternoon, there will be a $75 charge for the guide.
Don't miss a great opportunity to spend some quality time with your child while hunting a turkey and getting a chance to eat Mrs. Jewel and Mrs. Kim's Southern cooking. It will be a great weekend!
For those of you 16 and older, the season cranks up on March 16 and the cost of a two day hunt including your morning guide is $1100 per hunter. We are currently taking reservations for what promises to be the best turkey season every at Pushmataha!
Based upon signs that the guides have seen and what our deer hunters observed, we have an awesome turkey population this year so make your plans early to join us!
Don't forget - It's Turkey Time!
