Guiding Turkey Hunts

Greetings:
 
   Those who know me well are aware of the love affair I've had with the wild turkey; as a former wildlife biologist pioneering the turkey restoration on the Eastern shore and as a long time hunter. This spring will be season #49 for me. I've managed to take gobblers across the country using just about all the legal weapons and have called many in for friends, acquaintences and kids alike.
 
   This year, for the first time, I have decided to take some hunters onto some of my favorite turkey honey holes in Maryland to hopefully kill some big hard-gobbling birds. I have scouted my properties on the lower shore this year and have seen excellent numbers of birds.
 
   If you are just starting and want to learn, don't have time for scouting and locating birds or just plain-ole want a change of scenery this year, I will provide guided, “one-on-one” per day hunts. Next year I may have lodging available to add as a package hunt ... no tiring, “middle of the night” drives. The fee for this spring is $125 per day; you choose your favorite weapon. I have taken quite a few birds with archery equipment so I understand the techniques and methods needed. If you want to run and gun or experience the thrill of
burying a broad-head in a long-spurred tom up close and personal out of a blind I can accommodate.
 
   I can't guarantee you a kill but I can guarantee a 110% effort from a veteran turkey hunter to put you on a gobbler in great turkey hunting territory. If you or someone you know desires to book a hunt, give me a call at 443-880-7847 to discuss the particulars (dates available, deposit, bag limit per day, area hotels, etc)
