This program will be a field excursion in prime turkey habitat with the possibility of hearing turkeys on the roost after fly-up. Participants should be prepared to walk up to 2 miles, including walking off trail in both fields and woods. Wild turkey hunting is an excellent way to spend time outdoors, enjoy Maine’s spring and fall seasons and target Maine’s only big game bird. Wild turkey hunting is an interactive and engaging activity offering good opportunities for new hunters to quickly gain hunting experience, while also presenting ample challenge to keep experienced hunters on their toes.

In this 100% field-based, ladies-only workshop you will learn:

• Maine turkey hunting laws and regulations: Equipment, permission, bag limits, tagging, etc.

• Turkey habits and habitats: Food sources and seasonal patterns

• Hunting methods: Calling, blind hunting and flush and call (Fall)

• Turkey hunting tactics: Camouflage, calling, decoys, roosting

• Scouting: Importance of knowing your area (woods, streams, thickets, etc.)

• Setting up on a bird: Assessing distance and location, picking your caller/shooter spots, etc.

• Taking the shot: Proper shot placement, preferred ranges for various pieces of equipment

• After the shot: Retrieving, processing and enjoying your bird

This workshop will be outdoors, in the field, and will be cover all the essentials of scouting and roosting turkeys so you are prepared for opening day!

This workshop will be a blend of hands-on demonstration and hands on practice, and led by Carmen Bombeke, MDIFW Instructor and Registered Maine Guide
