Wild
turkeys are abundant on the Hashknife year round, and extremely
large numbers of them winter here on the ranch because of ample
food supplies. Large flocks gather near our South End and North
End headquarters in the winter months. It's not uncommon to
see flocks of 1000+ birds then.
We allow shotgun hunting in some spots
and bow hunting only in other areas. The opportunities to bag
a bird are equally good. As the winter flocks break up in the
spring, they travel great distances and spread themselves throughout
the pastures all across the ranch.
Turkey
season runs from about the second Wednesday in April to the
end of May. Hunts are three days in duration, and include four nights’ lodging and brunch and dinner on each of the three hunting days. Please call or
email for rates or to request an application. We take a limited
number of hunters each year, so call early.
