Spring Gobbler

Spring Gobbler season for the turkey hunter is bar-none the most exciting hunting available.  Calling an untrusting Gobbler within shotgun range while Jakes and Hens are nearly sitting on your lap can test the nerves of the calmest hunters.

Shane Appleby, our staff expert can take you out in the evenings while he roosts the birds for the next morning hunt, often referred to as putting the bird to bed.  He'll meet you at your accommodation before daybreak with coffee and a continental breakfast to keep you going until lunch.  He will then position you in the best location of the birds you roosted the night before and with his expert calling techniques, coax the wary bird into range. 

Shane has been guiding Glendorn and outside hunters in the area with great success for many years.

At Glendorn, we limit the number of hunts we do based on our turkey population and give the birds very little pressure.
