| Spring Turkey Hunts |
| ________________________________________________________________________ |
Spring turkey hunting in Montana means BIG strutting long beard Merriam
gobblers. The Merriam is known for being one of the most vocal of the 4
turkey sub species found within the lower 48 states. Hunting the Merriam
differs from typical Eastern gobbler hunting in that lots of wide open terrain
allows hunters to use both roosting as a means of locating toms and
glassing for toms after they have left the roost. No matter which method
proves to be the most successful, the sight of a strutting Merriam tom,
with his white band of feathers forming his fan, coming to the call, is heart
pounding excitement.
My spring turkey hunters are housed in my fall base camp located
approximately 70 miles east and north of Billings, Montana. The camp is a
ranch house set-up with all the conveniences including: fully furnished
house, single beds, shower and toilet facilities, satellite TV, and
home-cooked meals. All hunters either drive or fly into Billings, Montana.
The first evening, after arriving, hunters stay at a local motel. Flyers use a
"no-charge" shuttle service to the motel. Hunters are met at the motel in
late morning the day they are scheduled to go into camp. Hunters that drive
can follow us into camp in their own vehicle.
Turkey tags can be purchased either on-line or after you arrive in Billings.
An upland bird license and conservation license are prerequisite licenses
for purchasing a turkey tag. All of these licenses may be purchased over
the counter or on-line.
The cost of the spring turkey hunt is $1500 all-inclusive after you arrive in
camp. The length of the hunt is 4 days. Not included in the price of the hunt
are licenses, motel and food before and after the hunt, and soft drinks and
alcohol. A $750 deposit will reserve one spot and the balance is due by
April 1 of the year you are going to hunt. There are no refunds on any
deposit or hunt payment.
Thank and Good Hunting,
