Well I sent you to Don Martin and Jay Scott.

 

It would be interesting to see if any of the guides actually read the individual posts.

I would look for a guide that spends a lot of time in your area. Timberland Outfitters is a sponsor on this site and frequently guides in 12A and offers turkey hunts. They would be my recommendation.

I thought you just drive around until you see one and then jump out of the truck, oh wait, that is just every Californian that hunts the archery deer, nevermind.

I would contact Russ Jacoby. He spends lots of time up there guiding for buffalo. He is a great guy and a weath of knowledge about the area. PM me for his info.

Unless you need a guide to call for you, you dont need a guide to find turkey on the 'bab. I have found turkey EVERYWHERE, from top to bottom. Their numbers there are crazy, hence the number of tags . Just travel ridgetops after dark, using locator calls till you have a tom respond, mark the spot and get set up near, not on, him before light. I have had great luck with hen dekes to bring in hesitant toms, they want some visual candy sometimes before they will commit.

 

Be careful though, spring turkey hunting is addicting. Good luck and have fun!

very true there are turkey "EVERYWHERE" in 12A. If you can't call attend one of those turkey hunting seminars Ammon at Little Creek Calls is putting on.
