Utah turkey hunters
Utah turkey hunters
What I know about turkeys in Utah makes for a very small book. I would like to start putting in for a tag. I think they would be a blast to hunt, but I dont know squat about it. Does anyone here hunt Utah turkeys that would be willing to share any info. I've seen birds in American Fork canyon and lots of birds in Butterfield canyon. Are those areas you can hunt? I realize I'm sounding like a moron, but hey, cant hurt to ask.

Re: Utah turkey hunters
hopefully this turns out to be a good post. i made my whole family put in this year but none of us know anything about turkeys, haha
Re: Utah turkey hunters
I have hunted turkeys for years.......well I haven't been able to draw a tag, my luck as usual, but family members have and friends. In my mind it is a blast. There is nothing like a gobbler coming into the call and the anticipation between when you see him and when the shot goes off. One thing I would caution you about though is that the birds are a lot smarter than you would think. They have excellent eye sight and are very cautious; which makes for a very interesting hunt. I would recommend it to anyone.

Re: Utah turkey hunters
Turkeys 'rut' in April and May. South and North Willow get lots of pressure during turkey seasons, but there are lots of turkeys out here in Tooele County.zrider2 wrote:I will have 3 points this year, i dont know much about turkies either.

Re: Utah turkey hunters
Is Butterfield canyon open to turkey hunting?

Re: Utah turkey hunters
Only turkeys I have seen have been up Spanish Fork Canyon, and some up Daniels Canyon.

Re: Utah turkey hunters
I'm not sure if these areas are huntable, but I have also seen lots of turkeys up Provo Canyon by Big Springs (it's off the South Fork). I have also seen Turkeys just up from midway going toward Guardsmans pass.
Re: Utah turkey hunters
This just sucks. I can see the pump gun all wrapped nice and pretty under the tree but I cant put in for the tag untill after christmas. I dont want to give away that I know what it is. ugggg

Re: Utah turkey hunters
I ususally do not read this upland game forum,just because I have never hunted them but I would like to this up comming season.
Look on Utah's game proclamtions.
The DWR transplanted some turkeys in Francis a few years back and I see them all over the Kamas Valley now.. Good luck to you
