Spring Turkey Tips and Tricks

We have finally reached spring gobbler season and excitement levels couldn't be higher. There's nothing quite like seeing the bright red neck of a fanned-out gobbler through the thick green brush of central Texas.

One of the most crucial aspects of any hunting experience is knowing when seasons start.

North Zone: Saturday, April 3rd - Sunday, May 16th

South Zone: Saturday, March 20th - Sunday, May 2nd

Eastern Turkey: Thursday, April 22nd - Friday, May 14th

If you are brand new to turkey hunting and need advice on what gear to use, the Sportsman's pro staff has their top picks to bring you the most success.

Turkey Calls:

We love the Primos Call Box Foggy paired with the Primos Turkey Decoy Photoform to call in and fool those big gobblers. Whether you are hunting with a shotgun or a bow, your calling technique is key to success. Take extra time to practice your turkey calling so you are fully prepared when in the tree stand or the ground blind.

Apparel:

You can never go wrong with Sitka gear. Always reliable, and always the newest technology when it comes to camouflage patterns and comfort. The Core Lightweight Hoody in the Subalpine Optifade pattern is the perfect spring weather balance. It's blend of colors fits right in with the Texas spring blossoms and it's lightweight enough to keep you nice and cool. Pair this with the nice and cool Ascent pant, and the birds will never know what hit them.
