Hiring a turkey hunting outfitter is gaining popularity. There are questions you need to ask any potential turkey hunting outfitter before booking a hunt this spring.
Turkey Calling Skills
A turkey hunting outfitter must be skilled in using different turkey calls. Calling variety is important because one call might be better than another on certain days or different hunting methods.
Ask them how many years they have been calling turkeys. An experienced turkey caller can make the difference between a successful turkey hunt and a never sighting a bird.
Turkey Hunting Areas
Choose a turkey hunting outfitter who has access to plenty of hunting areas. They should tell you up front the number of acres or properties available.
The more the better because your outfitter can then move you to other promising turkey locations if one area fails to produce any turkeys for some unknown reason.
Type of Turkey Hunt
Ask your potential turkey hunting outfitter what type of turkey hunting they offer. Is it muzzleloader, bow or shotgun only? Do you use blinds or natural covers? Some may only specialize in only one type. Ask questions about their hunting experience with different hunting weapons and tactics.
A particular turkey hunting outfitter might not cater to your style of turkey hunting. You need to know exactly what they can offer you before booking a hunt with any turkey hunting outfitter.
