I absolutely had a blast! And the host Travis is a super nice person. Made it easy for me to find his ranch, I followed him out to the praire dog town, he said you should stay busy all day here. He wasn't kidding I could have stayed busy shooting praire dogs for a week and never got bored. Im going to try and book a couple more weekends out there. Thank you to Travis and his family for letting me have access to your ranch.

What are the seasons and regulations for hunting turkey in Wyoming?

Wyoming is a fantastic destination for turkey hunting, but understanding the seasonality and regulations is crucial. The state's spring turkey season typically begins in April and runs through May, offering hunters the chance to pursue the Merriam's wild turkey, a subspecies known for its striking white-tipped tail feathers and mountainous habitat. During this time, only bearded turkeys are legal to hunt. In contrast, the fall season usually starts in September and ends in December, during which either sex can be harvested. It's also important to note that Wyoming operates on a draw system for turkey tags, so hunters must apply by March for the spring season and by July for the fall season. However, leftover licenses may be purchased on a first-come-first-served basis after these draw periods. Regulations stipulate that hunters can take one wild turkey per license but no more than two wild turkeys during the calendar year. All hunters are required to have a valid hunting license and an appropriate wild turkey license or tag. Moreover, it's mandatory to report your harvest within 72 hours of taking a bird. Remember that hunting hours are half an hour before sunrise until sunset, and it's illegal to use live decoys or electronic calling devices.

What are popular counties to hunt turkey in Wyoming?

One of the most popular counties for turkey hunting is Converse County, located in the eastern part of the state. This county is home to a large population of Merriam's turkeys, a subspecies known for their stunning white-tipped tail feathers. The varied terrain here, from rolling prairies to rugged mountains, provides excellent habitat for these birds. Another top choice is Sheridan County in northern Wyoming. Here you'll find a mix of Merriam's and Rio Grande turkeys. The county's lush river valleys and extensive woodlands offer ideal conditions for turkey roosting and feeding. Lastly, don't overlook Goshen County in the southeast corner of Wyoming. This area boasts a healthy population of Rio Grande turkeys that thrive in its riparian areas and agricultural lands. The spring season (April-May) is often considered the best time to hunt turkeys in Wyoming as this coincides with their breeding season. However, fall hunting (September-December) can also be productive as turkeys are often more concentrated around food sources during this time. Remember that hunting regulations vary by area and season, so it's essential to check with local authorities or consult the Wyoming Game & Fish Department website for up-to-date information before you go.

What are popular hunting methods and the required gear to hunt turkey in Wyoming?

One popular method of hunting these wily birds is by using a decoy coupled with turkey calls. This approach requires patience and precision, as you must lure the turkey into your range without startling it. Another common method is spot-and-stalk hunting, where hunters use their knowledge of turkey behavior and habitat to locate and approach their prey stealthily. As for gear, a reliable shotgun or bow is essential. Most turkey hunters prefer 12-gauge shotguns for their versatility, but for those who enjoy a challenge, a bow can provide an exhilarating hunt. Turkey loads with #4 to #6 shot are generally recommended for shotgun users, while archers should consider broadheads specifically designed for turkey hunting. Regardless of your weapon choice, camouflage clothing is crucial to blend into the environment and avoid detection by the turkeys' keen eyesight. A comfortable seat or turkey vest with a seat attached can also make all the difference during long waits. Don't forget your binoculars for spotting distant turkeys and a rangefinder to ensure accurate shots. Lastly, always remember to carry your Wyoming hunting license and Turkey Game Bird License, available from the Wyoming Game & Fish Department. These are required whether you're hunting on public or private land.
