You'll learn the art of calling, from soft yelps to aggressive cutting, and when to use each. We'll employ a mix of run-and-gun tactics and sit-and-wait ambushes, depending on what the birds are doing. Our decoy setups are designed to trigger that territorial instinct in dominant toms.

The Eastern Wild Turkey is the star of the show on this hunt, and let me tell you, these New Hampshire birds are something special. These aren't your average barnyard fowl - we're talking about a savvy, sharp-eyed game bird that can vanish like smoke if they catch even a whiff of danger. Adult toms can tip the scales at over 20 pounds, sporting beards that can reach 10 inches or more. Their iridescent feathers shimmer with hues of bronze, copper, and blue-green in the sunlight. But it's their behavior that really sets them apart. In spring, these birds are in full strut, gobbling their heads off and putting on a show that'll make your heart race. They've got incredible eyesight and can pick up the slightest movement, so staying still is crucial. The challenge of outsmarting these birds, combined with the adrenaline rush when a big tom comes in to your calls, is what keeps hunters coming back year after year. Spring is prime time, as the birds are most vocal and active during their breeding season. Whether you're a seasoned turkey hunter or looking to tag your first tom, these New Hampshire Eastern Turkeys will give you a hunt to remember.
There's something special about spring turkey hunting in New Hampshire that keeps folks coming back for more. Maybe it's the sound of the woods waking up as you sit in your blind, waiting for that first gobble. Or the rush you get when a big tom suddenly appears, fanned out and strutting his stuff. Our hunters rave about the personalized experience - with just one hunter per tag, you get Mitch's undivided attention and expertise. The private land we hunt is a turkey haven, carefully managed to hold good numbers of birds. But it's not just about the hunt itself. It's about soaking in the beauty of the New Hampshire spring, feeling that crisp morning air, and challenging yourself against one of nature's wiliest game birds. Whether you're a seasoned pro or new to turkey hunting, this trip offers a chance to hone your skills and create lasting memories.
When it comes to gear, we've got you covered with the essentials, but there are a few things you'll want to bring along. Dress in full camouflage from head to toe - these birds have eagle eyes and will spot any out-of-place colors. A good pair of sturdy, waterproof boots is a must for navigating potentially muddy spring terrain. If you're bringing your own shotgun, make sure it's properly patterned for turkey loads. Bowhunters, we recommend broadheads specifically designed for turkeys. Don't forget your hunting license and turkey tag - we can help you with the details if you're coming from out of state. A pair of binoculars can be handy for spotting distant birds, and a comfortable seat cushion will save your backside during long sits. Most importantly, bring a positive attitude and a willingness to learn - turkey hunting can be challenging, but that's what makes it so rewarding!

Eastern turkeys are impressive birds, weighing up to 25 pounds with sharp eyesight and hearing. You'll find them in wooded areas and fields around Weare, often strutting and feeding in small groups. Spring's the prime time to hunt these birds when the toms are most active and vocal. Hunters love the challenge of calling in a wary gobbler - it takes patience and skill to outsmart these clever birds. The meat's lean and flavorful too, great for smoking or grilling. One local tip: set up near field edges where turkeys often emerge to feed in the mornings. Use a mix of soft yelps and purrs to mimic a relaxed hen, and be ready to stay put for a while. These birds can hang up just out of range for hours, testing your patience. But when it all comes together and you hear that thunderous gobble getting closer, there's nothing quite like it in the woods of New Hampshire.
