U.S.
experiences boom in turkey hunting
Daylong
workshop will offer tips for beginners
By Todd Vinyard
Contact
January 20, 2005
Nearly 2.6
million sportsmen and women consider themselves turkey
hunters, making turkey hunting
the most rapidly-growing form of hunting
in the
United States
.
Many of those new hunters are from
DeSoto
County
and a new workshop on Feb. 5 should help.
"If you've just started turkey
hunting this
workshop offers the most turkey
hunting
knowledge under one roof you are going to find," said event
organizer Jim Robbins. "With the boom in turkey
populations we are seeing more and more first-time turkey hunters. This workshop is designed to give some
tips."
The daylong wild turkey
workshop will be held at
Northwest
Mississippi
Community College
in Senatobia.
"We will have workshops on
everything from calling techniques to when to use a decoy,"
Robbins said.
The seminar speakers include:
Mississippi state biologist James Austin; Ken
Morgan of Baton Rouge, La., a book author and call
maker; Larry Dablemont of Bolivar, Mo., who has written a number
of books and hundreds of articles on turkeys; Steve Payne of Senatobia
and Oakhaven Wildlife, which specializes in cover crops and
habitat enhancement; Jerry and Vicki Akin of Mountain View, Ark.,
who will demonstrate the incredible authenticity of the scratch
box call; and Richard Hudson, who shows how to build and put into
use the wingbone call.
One seminar will feature noted turkey
expert Dr. George Hurst, who will talk about his ongoing research
about the effect of predators on turkey
populations.
Turkey
populations have certainly grown in the
United States
. As late as the Great Depression, fewer than 30,000 wild turkeys
were in the entire
United States
, according to the National Wild Turkey
Federation. Work by the nation's hunters, state wildlife agencies
and conservation groups has led to more than 6.4 million wild
turkeys now roaming North America.
"Once you go turkey
hunting you are
hooked," Robbins said. "To be out there in the woods
during a beautiful time in the spring is great. Even if you don't
kill a bird everything that goes into it makes it an unbelievable
experience."
Spring season for turkey
hunting in
Mississippi
is March 15-May 1. Youth turkey
hunting week is
March 8-14.
Reservations
for the workshop can be made at
Northwest
Community College
by calling Patricia Lowder at (662) 562-3349. Tickets are $20 for
ages 16 and up; $10 for 15 and under. Please reserve before Jan.
28. Potential exhibitors should call Robbins at (662) 363-2441.
