Guided Turkey Hunts
California Guided Turkey Hunt Details
Our guided turkey hunts are one day hunts (one morning and one evening if necessary) in Northern California at one of our premiere ranches.
Our Turkey Guides will pre-scout the area before your hunt to determine the best spot to have harvest a mature Tom or Hen (Fall). Our guides will usually try to find a roost and the area in which turkey’s fly to in the early mornings. We often have a ground blind to hunt out of, but sometimes sit against an old oak with appropriate camouflage to break up our silhouettes.
We accommodate all skill and fitness levels on our guided turkey hunts, some walking will be required.

What to expect on our turkey hunt?
Hunters will arrive 30-45 minutes before shoot time (30 minutes before sunrise). Our expert Turkey Guide will take you to a pre-scouted area in which we have located mature birds in the area. Hunters will be situated in a ground blind or sitting against a tree located near a roosting location. Depending on the season and patterns of mature Toms and hens, decoys and calling may be used to set up the appropriate shot.
If a hunt is unsuccessful in the early morning, hunters will have the option to adjust to a spot and stalk method of finding Turkeys. Our Turkey Guides are able to accommodate hunters of all skill levels and fitness levels.
Our goal is always to present the best possible shot opportunity for our clients. Hunters should expect and prepare to be able to accurately shoot between 10 and 60 yards. Please come prepared with the appropriate equipment for this range of shot.
