To those who had the first hunting period for turkeys…..my
sympathy.
Wow, I don’t think there could
have been worse conditions.
I hunted in
the same type of weather many years ago and it was not fun.
Turkeys
are hard enough to hunt when it’s nice out, let alone in the conditions we’ve
had this past week. The only way a
hunter could have been remotely comfortable was if he had a pop-up blind. Then with a little heater it would have been
ok, except for the fact that the turkeys probably didn’t make a peep.
Turkeys
do not like windy weather and we’ve had wind, snow, sleet, rain and cold all
week.
If you could design the worst
conditions for turkey hunting, it would be what the hunters had this week.
It makes it pretty hard to crawl out of a
warm bed at
4am to go out
into the woods.
But, not
all is lost.
There are still left-over
permits available for the 5
th and 6
th seasons.
You can buy them at license stations or
online at
www.dnr.wi.gov .
They cost $10 and you can buy one per day
until they are all gone.
The way the
year started out, those late seasons may be some of the best we’ll see, so you
still have a chance.
