Millhouse Report post Posted March 2, 2011 I have a couple camera's that I started using last fall. I have a spring turkey hunt and was wondering if anyone out there has ever set up their camera's specifically for turkeys. Some of you have posted some pics of birds. Is there anything you put out to help get turkeys to stop by? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesWhitetail Report post Posted March 2, 2011 I have put a cam out for turkeys and I focused on finding a patch of ground that greened up early in the spring. It was easy to find because I was in a rocky lower elevation area. But if you are in classic ponderosa pine habitat you might look for some natural trails into and out of open areas that should green up first in the spring....turkeys are naturally drawn to that type of area Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Couzer Report post Posted March 2, 2011 You can use ground up feed corn, that will help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tjhunt2 Report post Posted March 2, 2011 Find a good water hole in turkey country and lots of tracks. The only thing is it attracts alot of people traffic and a camera might not be safe. Turkeys have a habit of following the same pattern most days so look for tracks on dusty areas along roads and trails. Then look at the direction they are traveling and follow that direction for signs of scratches among oak or berries. Good luck! TJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billrquimby Report post Posted March 2, 2011 You don't need a camera to know where turkeys are hanging out in the spring. Look for seeps and greened-up spots with fresh turkey droppings, and set up nearby. Same with looking for roosting trees: check for poop on limbs and under trees along ridgelines.

Millhouse Report post Posted March 3, 2011 Thanks everyone of the advice! TwoGuns, those are some good pic! Hopefully I can get some like that before season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeffcros Report post Posted March 5, 2011 Like every one else is saying, green areas, look for droppings, and corn doesn't hurt. Once they find the corn, it will be part of their routine. Here are a few pics from last years scouting for the spring hunt. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
